Cole
turned sixteen on May 11th. He wanted to go to Costa Vida for dinner.
Grandma, Grandpa, Riley, Lindsay, Ryder, Ruby, Rydge and Adrienne
joined us for good eats. Some of us went to see The Avengers after
dinner too. Cole has grown up so much these past few years. Even just
looking at his face he looks so old, not wrinkly old just mature old :)
He is such a help around the house. He willingly does most of what we
ask him too :) He's doing so well in school, he took a practice ACT
this year and they projected his score to be a 34 when he takes it next
year.. That's quite a score, I know he can achieve it! He took his
first AP test for World History this year too. We just got the results
in the mail and he scored a 4! 5 is the highest so we are pretty stoked
about that! Let's get some more college credit for $95! I hope he
knows how much we care about him and how much we want to teach him how
to handle things on his own. We want him to be a responsible
problem-solving adult. Those are some great skills and are not easy to
come by... they take hard work! He's on his way to getting there. We
are so glad he is a part of our family. He's come along way from our
little Cole-y bug! Love you Cole!
Ruby, Tenley and Adrienne, trying to get Ruby to look at me was a chore!

Cole
and his group date for his 16th birthday. He had this planned for
probably two months before his birthday. Cole took Allison Simpson,
Preston and Alea and Lindy. They met another couple there at the movie
theater. So, even though they are all 16 and legal for dating, no one
had their license long enough to be allowed to drive with other kids in
the car so they had to get a ride. As I was pulling out of the drive
way and looked in my mirror with these kids I just had to say, "So, is
this how you all imagined your first date going?" I couldn't resist. I
was quiet the rest of the way, but I so wanted to follow them in and
buy a ticket for the same movie just so I could observe. They saw The
Avengers and loved it! Preston's parents brought them home and they came
back to our house. We all disappeared, but I had set the kitchen up
for them to make milkshakes. Ice cream, syrups, candy bars, fruit,
etc... They all had to be home by 10:30 so it was a short night. Norm
drove Allison home, with Cole, of course. I think it was a fun night
for everyone, but I'm sure they had pictured it a little different in
their minds.
So,
this is tossed in on Cole's birthday page, but it's really Mother's
Day. They were all making me Cafe Rio Salads for our fantastic Sunday
meal.
