Who is this sharp dressed man? He had a birthday recently.
One of the world’s newest teenager that’s who. Sweetie and are not sure that we are ready for that. Too bad, time marches on. SuperPizzaBoy has had quite the year.
He discovered that he loves singing, not so much the dancing, and improv.
He got his Legoland driver’s license. (Three more years until he gets his real driver’s license, tell me that it cannot be!)
He fell in love with the Pacific Ocean.
He has had lots of talks with his Mom.
He has tried some new things he really didn’t care for.
And other new things that he loves.
Whatever he tries, he swings for the fences.
He has always got time for one more photo, even when he is busy.
He’s learned to not run quite so fast from the girls.
He is starting to appreciate art a little more.
He still loves his Mom.
He got to know his Uncle Bob a little better this year.
He had a great year in his spiritual life learning about his faith. He had a great year at school also. In middle school the academics stepped up quite a bit and he responded. The dynamics of tweenager social drama were not so much fun. But he is getting through it.
He is still a fun loving, active, social, curious, interesting kid.
Who falls asleep exhausted every night.
We love you very much son.
We are really looking forward to the coming year. Happy Birthday!!
Such a wonderful birthday post for SPB!! Give him a big birthday hug for me! Love all your photos and it does look as though he’s had a great year! Wishing the best for many more!!

Oops, watch out teenagers are a whole different species. Enjoy the time you have now before he becomes an alien.
Happy Birthday to SPB! He’s come so far and so much further to go. Good luck with the teen years. 😉
Happy Birthday! :)) We have a grandson just four months younger. They look enough alike they could be brothers. What great kids!
Happy birthday! Being a teen is not always fun but these are precious years regardless 🙂
Happy Birthday SPB!!! You are such a handsome young man.
Happy Birthday SPB from Oz ♥
Happy birthday, SPB! I enjoyed reading about all the things you’re learning to do. I’m sure you’ll be a good teenager and not give Mom and Dad too much trouble!
Aww, Yogi! That is a sweet, wonderful post, I loved it! SPB is a great kid! How could he not be with the wonderful parents he has. Happy Birthday, SPB! Here’s to the teenage years!
Happy birthday young man. Yep dad, they do grow up too fast.
What a nice post, Happy Birthday SPB!
SPB – Happy Birthday to you! All the photos of him are special – he really does look all grown up in that first dapper one. I love how he cheeses it up for the camera sometimes. (He’s a good sport – my Grandkids get TIRED of me snapping their pics!)
Adorable boy! Ooops… young man! 🙂
Happy Birthday and best wishes from Bangalore!
Happy birthday SPB, good luck Sweetie and Yogi some kids get through teen years easier than others, may SPB be one of the latter.
Your words brought a tear to my eyes.
Nice tribute to your newly-minted teen! Yup, I remember that, the way they don’t wait for you to be ready for the next stage — they just grow up anyway (and thank goodness for that)!
Belated Happy Birthday wishes to SPB. What great adventures await him this year.
Wonderful, heartwarming post, Yogi! WoW! A teenager?
So sweet, it made me cry. Happy birthday SPB!!!
Happy Birthday to SPB!

Like someone else said, how could he not be a great kid with wonderful parents like you and Sweetie?!?
