The Birthday Boy One of My Favorite Peeps – GIVE AWAY

Project by Joy’s Life DT Member – Susie

This fun sentiment comes from the Joy’s Life Barnyard Puns stamp set.

When I checked out the Joy’s Life Design Team page today I was thrilled to see this project by Susie.  It goes perfectly with the post I wrote below about my son’s b’day and his first Peep tasting.

Definitely one of my Favorite Peeps!

Today is my son’s birthday.  He’s now 14 and over 6 feet tall!  I remember when he was tiny AND when he had his first Easter peep.

That’s Baby Bear from Sesame Street behind him.  I was student teaching at a middle school when I was 9 months pregnant with my first son.  The kids were so sweet.  Each class threw me a surprise baby shower and I had to keep acting surprised all day.  LOL!  They had food, drinks and presents for me.  One of the gifts was Baby Bear.  Super boy #1 drug BB around for so many years.  At one point they became scarce and collectable and I had to compete for them on eBay when they would get lost.  The things we do! 😉

Gave birth one week, back for mid terms the next. Soon after…Graduation!

DH went back to school for his Master’s in Computer Science and I was getting my bachelor’s in Education.  I now tell my kids, college first, then marriage and children.  Marriage, children, college is much harder! 😉

Tonight the birthday boy will have a group of his friends over for a gaming and spend the night party.  He’s really looking forward to that.  I have to keep an ear out for him because I want to sing to him as soon as he emerges from his room.  If I want to give him a kiss, I’ll have to ask him to bend down or I’ll have to stand on a stair or two above him.  I’m quickly becoming the shortest one in the house.  They grow SO fast.

This photo was taken about 5 years ago.  He’s still a wonderful big brother.

18 months after I had Super Boy #1, Super Boy #2 was born.

Just a regular day at our house.

That’s DH, me, birthday boy, Super Daughter and Super Son #2 last July at Universal Orlando.

Happy Give Away to YOU

To celebrate the birthday boy, I’m giving away the Barnyard Puns stamp set (where I have the peeps sentiment), so be sure to leave a comment to be eligible to win.

Happy Birthday to Super Boy #1, great pics thanks for sharing. I know what you mean about them growing fast. My baby will be 18 in May. And graduating from HS in June….Then College in the fall so I REALLY could use the stamps because I will have NO money for a few years since his sister is 19 months older than him and she is in her second year of college…(She will be at Disney for the fall semester – she got accepted to the Disney College Program- So excited for her and a bit jealous I <3 Disney!)

Don’t forget, FREE SHIPPING on ALL Joy’s Life stamps is over this Sunday.  HURRY!

    What some awesome pictures Miss Joy its been a while since i was here. Yes they do grow up quick. My son is 33 and daughter 26 and I have 6 grandchildren. I remember bring both my kids home and how tiny My daughter was born with the Left cleft pallet and nose deformity. I worried and worried over her she lost so much weight in the beginning cause she couldn’t suck on the nipples it would take 2 hours to feed her and she would still be hungry. Would try to get an hour of sleep and she would cry for more food. After many surgerys shes great and got 2 children of her own. Found out years later son had one nostrel closed off. Makes you wonder where that all came from no one in family ever had those problems. Lifes a mystery isn’t it.

  23. Happy Birthday to you son!

  24. Happy Birthday to your Birthday Boy. I know at 14 he is “real” happy with you sharing this with us >: ) I have a April birthday girl that will make the the mom of a TEENAGER!!! for the first time. Yes, they do grow up to fast.

    Happy birthday to your sweet little boy!

    I agree…college first. I had my SECOND son the last semester of my college days…the day before the first day of classes. ACK. thankfully, it snowed a freaking blizzard that night and they cancelled all classes for a week so I didn’t MISS anything. LOL! Pictures of me in my cap and gown include one of me holding a 5 month old and an almost two year old running around at my feet ignoring the camera.

  29. Happy Birthday to your son! Enjoy………. they grow so quickly. I remember my older son all excited when he got to be as tall as me and then how excited he was that he could lift his arm and I fit underneath. Happy holiday to your family.

  30. Happy Birthday to your son!!!!!!!

    Memories are wonderful things, aren’t they? A real gift from God. Happy day after, basking in the joy from yesterday.

  33. Happy Birthday to your son! Love the Barnyard Pun stamps. Oh, I just received my set of 4 in the mail today… Can’t wait to use them, I just completely redid my craft room! painted and added all new IKEA furniture! Love looking at your pics, can totally relate to the tall teenager. My son, 13, grows right before my eyes… seriously! We are averaging about an inch a month! He’s now taller than his older sister and ME! Time sure does fly. Have a great day and TFS!

  34. I love hearing the great stories about your life. Wow….birth then midterms…that’s crazy!
