School

 1st Day of 10th grade. Shane driving the minivan like a boss.  Shane is one of the first Sophmores to be driving

 A little birdie told me about Shane's parking.  We had to go and move it and charged him $50

Besides the red curb, great parking job Shane!

Shane's 16th

Angelina and Cienna stayed with us for 3 days while their parents were forced by Jesse to go to Napa for their anniversary.  I made the girls make 2 cakes for Shane.  The Danons came over to celebrate

 Shane's blooming candle was a hit

 Shane's bday morning, he slept in while we meet the Danons for a dip in the ocean, it was gorgeous

Birthday Breakfast and present opening

 We dropped the 4 kids, and Aidan off at Dave and Busters for a few hours.  Aidan won a game called Who's The Dude?  It's a charades game.  

 The Dude was a hit, they played it til bedtime

 The Dude became the best prank, all weekend long.  Shane scared the girls in the morning

Shane's birthday weekend was a lot more fun having the Mendoza girls around

 Shane and Angelina both had appts at the same DMV, the next day.  Both passed! Shane was so relieved he passed and he only got 4 points docked off

Shane last Bday dinner, he had 4!

Happy 16th Shane-o
