Sweet Sixteen!



Our Michael turned 16 on March 2! To celebrate (so far) we went out to eat at a Japanese Steakhouse, Kotobuki. It is one of those restaurants where they take your order and prepare it right in front of you. It was amazing, flames, chopping, eggs flying, shrimp tails landing on your plate and into the chef's hat....it was all we could do to keep Joey in his seat! The chef was getting such a kick out of watching Joey that it was 'messing up' his show! (-: Michael loved it. Food is already the way to our young man's heart! His big (and only) gift this year was a bigger and better paint ball gun. Thank you to all the relatives who sent money to help dig him out of the hole he shot into our VISA card with this new toy (-: We are feeling the sting of the old saying, "the bigger the boy the bigger the toys!" Michael is very pleased with the new gun and in a couple of weeks he is planning to have a sleep over then go paint balling with his buddies to complete his birthday celebration!
Check out Michael's website, Nain Rouge Paintball, listed on the right.

Oh! That place is so much fun! I went only once myself and a small boy was with us and you are right, it is so much fun watching them interact with the kids! What a hoot!

Happy Belated Birthday to Michael!
