Friday was Mitchell's 16th Birthday. He started off life at 8 pounds even and is now over 160 pounds and towers over me. To celebrate his birthday we went out to dinner, had a family party and then the next day, Mitchell had some friends over to celebrate with too.
Mtichell's birthday dinner was at Red Robin's. We all had huge burgers and fries. For some reason both Mitchell and Grant had an obsession with balloons while we were there and wanted to take as many balloons home as they possibly could. Teenagers can be so strange sometimes!
Mitchell really enjoyed the waiters and waitresses singing him the "Red Robin Happy Birthday" song. He got a free ice cream sundae when they were done and it was yummy!Mitchell CHEATED this year and peeked at ALL of his presents before we opened them as a family. I couldn't believe it! One of his friends was there and witnessed it too. Mitchell did a pretty good acting job of appearing surprised and excited when he officially opened his gifts.
Mitchell now owns Guitar Hero World Tour. You are welcome to come and rock out with us. Grant loves playing the drums. Mitchell is EXPERT on the guitar and I try to carry a tune on the vocals. 
We had our first jam session shortly after the package was opened. Our first family song was "Eye of the Tiger." We all scored over 85%. Not bad for our debut!
Mitchell got a purple bike rim for his back tire. It will match the front rim he already has. The next day we went to Kore Bikes to have it laced. His whole goal for his birthday weekend was to go to the bike park with his friends and ride!
Mitchell has wanted a purple tie for a long time. He was very excited that Amy and Bob got him one for his birthday. He said he was going to wear it every Sunday!
On Saturday Mitchell had some of his BMX Biker friends over for his birthday. I decorated the house just for the event. Mitchell wasn't too thrilled with that. Oh, well! How often do you turn 16? Then Mitchell was a little embarrassed that his friends and I sang "Happy Birthday" to him. Because of his embarrassment, he had trouble blowing out all of his candles on his strawberry cake and he forgot to make a wish.
What a fun birthday! Love you Mitchell!

WOW! 16!!! I'm expecting the next post to be a pic with his first date!!!!
I am thinking of when I used to babysit him in Mesa. You came over so early to drop him off. We would just sleep for a while on the couch. He was such a precious baby!! Now he is a strong, tall teenager!!
Happy Birthday Mitchell! Love the hair cut, you look great!
Love the Hair Cut! Handsome MAN! Ready to get his foot in the driving and dating door!!! Uhhhh Ohhh watch out!
Happy Birth!!!
I will never forget your birthday Mitch because the day I do, I will be in big trouble with Bob. I love your new hair. It looks so good. Lets hold down Grant and give him the same hair cut. I am glad you like your tie. When I saw it, I just had to get it for you. Can't wait for you to get your license. Keeping studying and working hard to get it.
