Seems like yesterday that this guy was our little “Joe B” as we so fondly called him!
He is not little, or Joe B, anymore!
We celebrated Lane and his eighteenth birthday at the beginning of April.
SO crazy how time flies by!!!
Lane chose a breakfast skillet, fruit salad, and chocolate cake for his meal!



There were gifts!!
Lane had been looking at these bike racks recently, so at least we knew he wanted one!


Chocolate cake seems like a good birthday essential!!
Even though we were a very small crowd of five, we still sang to poor Lane!
Don’t worry, the whole crew sang to him again that Sunday when we were all together at Scottie and Addie’s place!



What can I say about this gem??
Just that – he IS a gem!
Lane Stevan, you are so kind, ambitious, have the best heart, are full of wisdom and Godly character, and you are TALL.
Let’s not forget tall!
Your abilities with all things Math, Science and Technology is astounding.
Your mind fascinates us!!
As your mama, I already get tears in my eyes watching the Lord answer my daily prayers for your future!
God is SO COOL.
Keep your eyes on Jesus, Joe B!
He will direct your steps!
Happy, happy 18th birthday!!!
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
