Happy Birthday, Valiant!

16 years old today!

 Our beloved Prince Valiant turns 16 today!  He's grown up so much in the past year and this coming year will be even faster (for Mom and Dad!)  This year will bring driving, employment, and junior college, so for now, I'm looking backwards.

Obviously, he couldn't find the movie he was looking for...

1997 - Silly baby!  He really gets into movies.


Still, he was darned cute in his uniform!

2001 - He never really liked baseball, but we tried...



Wild and Crazy Boy!

2002 - Dancing with Buttercup.  Who needs pants?  (at least he wears shorts now!)



He still has his little green friend.

The California ScienCenter was one of his favorite places. 

Who needs musical instruments?  The rubber mallet is an awesome air guitar!

Oh So Cool! (in Mom's blazer and sunglasses!)

2003 - Too cool for school!

7 years ago today...his sister has always been his biggest fan!

2005 - Happy Birthday, Valiant!  We do so love you!
