A Bear turns 15!!



One of the sweetest guys on earth turns 15 yrs old today. I actually have in my mind thought of him as 15 or even older for the last year or so so it shocks me to realize today that he is only turning 15!

This is him all the way:)


my handsome guy and now even 4 inches taller than this!

always surrounded by good people and friends

watersports always with his bro


this morning


For his b-day he had three friends come over afterschool and play video games. Then they took skates and hockey sticks to rink. we went a night early to a really nice Italian restaurant that he has never tried before. Our family, and three great buddies of Bear. Last minute Didi could not come as she is really not well these days so that was sad. But she came over and gave Bear his bday bag and he said it was the best one he ever had…his friends said it was “sick!”) (ps that is a compliment).

Bear texted me at school and asked to invite the third friend as was his bday too that week-I thought that was kind of him and generous to think about other people’s feelings so said yes. It was a great night with fun and laughs and good (expensive!) food.Maybe next time we go a little less fancy. But was nice to celebrate Bear-and he raved about the food. He got very generous gifts from his friends that will help him pay for the skis he has to buy as his were stolen this weekend and he had not locked them up so his is payingL(( After the resto the boys came back for more NHL playing and after they left at 10pm Bear sneaked and stayed up until 11:30pm on a schoolnight that is.

resto chilling out with the guys

And then this morning on the real day we covered the table in gifts and had cinnamon buns and candies and stuck 15 dollars under his chair. Tonight Hubby out so juts a night at home maybe watching a movie and hopefully Didi well enough to come by for some dessert. I might just even grab Bearrand take him for a Harvey’s hamburger…because Harvey’s makes a hamburger a beautiful thing right???

Tomorrow night we have Bear’s girlfriend for dinner and doing something a little fancier than a normal Thursday night dinner. Raceltte which is his favorite and a little chocolate brownie dessert with homage fudges sauce. This weekend Bear has a buddy coming to cottage to ski and play hockey-which will be nice as with Chase at job and Beauty at competition he is alone at ski hill so is very excited about this weekend.

(Pics to be inserted after tomorrow of this dinner)

Bear this year. How can I describe him?

Growing like a beanstalk! (To the dismay of his older bro he is a little  taller than him now and grew about 4 inches in last two months!)\

Changing. Voice is deepening; face is changing….becoming a man

Acts way older than 15 yrs. . So mature. and so immature all at the same time! But he is really a precious gift to have as a child. I have been asked many times to clone him.
Eccentric as ever!!!! Weird sounds are his trademark..never ending series of eccentricities from this guy.

So smart. So compassionate. So empathetic. So bright. So kind. So hard headed. So annoying and in your face. So so so much of everything. When I see how he acts in front of other adults I am truly impressed. At his age I did not have even a fraction of his manners and confidence etc –it impresses me to no end how he acts with adults. His girlfriend’s parents seem to want marriage now!!! lol

I can’t imagine for one moment I wished this kid to be a girl. What a waste of brain cells.
Doing amazingly well in school-super strong athlete-girlfriends now for 8 months (great girl juts way too young to be as serious-but he knows how to choose the great ones!) great friends..Great future ahead. And best part is he works hard for it all. Not a slacker at all. Gives 100 % to anything and maybe even more.

Happy bday to our wonderful Bear. Fiercely and Forever.
