Happy 14'th Birthday, Joel!

We're celebrating Joel's 14'th birthday, today! Oh the memories this guy made...he used to run through the bus as a 2 yr old, snapping the sliding doors in half, leaving screaming sisters in his wake. Our little bowlegged man was on track to be 6 ft, according to his pediatrician. What? A tall Wilhite? Hey, greater feats have been made! Dad took the boys over to the mall this afternoon to pick up some clothes for Joel (who's siblings are tired of him wearing mid-drifts! He grows way too fast!). They, of course, couldn't refuse an offer of free ice cream afterwards :) 


This boy loves to eat. He's always up to being my taste tester for new recipes. When asked what he wanted for his birthday meal, he him-hawed around and finally said, " I dunno. Knock yourself out. Outdo yourself!" Oh, great. Thanks. The Boston Creme Cake decided to "undo" me and promptly began to fall as soon as I took it out of the fridge. Err! But, as a friend reminded me, "As long as it tastes good..."

Joel doing was he loves. The kid's a pro at flips. Well, close. He bears the marks of those "almost" flips :)
