He Turned 12!!

My "middle child" turned 12 on August 26th! Following in his brothers footsteps, his voice has dropped and octave and he grew 3 inches and gained 30 pounds in about 5 months! Chad is still a happy kid, and always ready with a hug for his mom! ( I know there are people that think we don't hug in our family, but we do!)
Chad has a good friend from church, and school, that turned 12 this summer also. Since they have mostly the same friends we decided to have a combined party. With vacations over the summer and the start of school we had to put it off til this last Monday. It was little late but they didn't mind. We have a great pavillion at church, with a nice hill! We used the hill to make a giant slip 'n slide. They had a great time, took a break from the slide for a game of kick ball, ate hot dogs, and giant cupcakes!!

Happy 12th birthday Chad!!
