We have a 14 year old!

 Back on Feb 1 Ethan turned 14 (yes, I am a little behind on my posting!).  That means in 2 years he will be driving!   Yikes!

On his actual birthday, he had a high school music orientation, so not a lot of time to celebrate, but we did our best with cake and presents when we got home.   All he asked for this year was money--he wanted to buy an iPhone, which we have refused to buy for him (he has been using a Motorola).  

On the weekend, we took his best friend Ethan skiing, and his family joined us as well.   It dumped snow on Saturday night, so the boys had a lot of fun in the fresh powder on Sunday.

Yesterday, we finally had enough time to get to the apple store to get him his phone--and he is super excited.  Now his text messages come through in blue, ha!
