When you turn sixteen, I promise not to take out your baby pictures and show them to your girlfriend. When you are sixteen, I promise to not invade your space, too much. When you are sixteen, I promise to let you drive the van. When you are sixteen, I promise to break out these photos and remind you of what your dream car was.
When you are sixteen, and you are taking your driver's test, I promise to have this picture in my wallet, to show you that you always looked good next to a nice set of wheels.
Oh, I can't wait until Big Cowpoke is 16, and I can have all sorts of fun with pictures. Yes, I probably will be the mom that will show every girlfriend his baby pictures. I probably will be that "silly" mom that embarrasses Big Cowpoke. But maybe that will keep the girl's away. But there is one thing I am sure about, when Big Cowpoke turns 16, he probably will still be trying to squeeze his feet into the same brown boots.
I know it will be here before I know it. And I can't wait to show him those car pictures. He sure thought he was hot stuff modeling next to the little red plastic car. I sure do love that kid.

Do you scrapbook? You seem like a natural born scrapbooking mama.
Thse photos are just so special and will forever conjure up such wonderful memories. And your 'journaling' about your son is just so meaningful and full of love.
Kudos to you. You really touched my heart :)

Great pictures!!! I love the plastic car. He'll be modeling by a real car in a few years--scary huh!
P.S. Playgroup is at the millenium park this week. Are you coming?
What an absolutely wonderful post! The love you have for you son comes through strongly in every word and photo, it was a joy to read. It is also a memory that will mean so much to him in years to come.
He is such and endearing little guy. And those eyes! Ugh.... Those eyes just put the icing on the cake. lol I love it when Stephanie lets me teach her class. He always tells me something that makes me laugh.
Andrea..I looked up the frogs and toads of Louisiana...Here is one that has a pointed snout
Eastern Narrow Mouthed Toad
And here is a list of frogs and toads from your state from Frog Watch is that isn't it.
Louisana Frogs and Toads
I will be interested to see what it is...Let me know..
I wish my son was still my baby, sif snif
Love it! How sweet! He is such a handsome little man!
Andrea..Your frogs are different from the ones I have here in NY State, but that frog seems very distinct and different with that beak. Sorry it couldn't be Ided for sure as I love to learn about new critters...
Oh what a great post! I agree if you don't scrapebook you should!! Your kids are too darn cute not to have them in a book somewhere!!
Love the story and photos. What an adorable boy!(can I still say that word about him?) Especially like the photo of his boots. Sure brings back memories. Since my kids are all grown up, I'll say ... you can never take too many photos!
Many thanks to you for your comments about the horse I rescued. He is a love and each day is a gift. I'm sure he is going to make it!
This is a cute post! I wonder if you really will dig out those pics for his wedding? Ya know, when he does one of those slide shows? I saw one at someone's 40th bday, too! ;) It's always fun to embarrass people at their big events.
Cute cute post!
oooh girl, you're good! lovin' those shots! Way cute kid! :)
