Happy Birthday Bo

My baby boy turned 17 today. Where has the time gone? My children are both turning into young adults before our eyes. We are so proud of both of them for what they stand for, believe in and how they contribute to our family and society. Ryne has a precious heart, tender and loving. He has the personality and competitivness of his father and the compassion of mine. He towers over both me and his sister now in size but still respects me as a son. Our years with Ryne has been filled with years of joy and adventure. He love sports so many hours have been at a court or a field watching him enjoy life.

Happy birthday baby boy. we love you very much.

Below is a list of some great birthday freebies. There are so many to choose from.... I don't know what Ryne will choose to do tonight.

Enjoy.
