Happy Birthday Brandon 13 years !!!!

Brandon's birthday isn't until the 5th, but i have a few minutes so I thought I would post a tribute for his birthday.

Again, it doesn't seem possible that I now have TWO teenagers.... I refuse to believe it!!!! It seems like just yesterday that Brandon was born with his little wrinkly skin all folded over his tiny little hands.
