Cavin is a TEENAGER!

Last week Cavin reached the ripe old age of 13 and entered his teenage years! He's never really had a friend party and this year he asked to do one. The Saturday before his birthday, Ragnar took him and 9 other boys to Gotcha paintball and they had a blast playing together. 

The weather was beautiful and for whatever reason Cavin loves to play paintball. Not sure why boys think this is fun. 

He had a good group of boys who indulged him and played together with him. 

All the boys were injury free...minus a few bruises, so that was a success. 

His actual birthday was on a Monday, so he went to school and we had dinner at Culvers with my parents and Natalie after school and then we had cake and icecream.

The perks of working for a sign greeting company, is the kids get fun signs in the yard.

Cavin has this saying right now where he says "man" in a Jamaican voice after everything ;) haha

Morning birthday donuts are the best!

He really wanted clothes for his birthday, so we went shopping and to dinner the week before and got clothes and shoes. He also got a switch remote, money, a remote control car, games, and a suit. You know you are entering teenage years when you want clothes and money ;)

Cavin is a good kid. He has incredible grades and works hard at school. He is in National Junior Honor Society. He is becoming a more dedicated and confident athlete and still plays soccer. This year he plays for TMS which he likes. He still loves math and figuring things out. He is very innovative and creative. He is thoughtful and kind and still pretty gentle. He is becoming more confident in being vocal with peers and is officially taller than me at 5'7. He is very funny, and now other people besides are family are getting to learn his personality. His favorite color is orange. He loves snapped Cheese It'z and Hersey's cookies and cream bars. He doesn't watch very much tv unless it's sports, but enjoys playing Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch. He is often outside playing basketball or soccer or some made up game with Deacon and they are the best of friends. We sure love Cavin!
