What would we do without you???

Where do I begin? My little baby is 8 years old today. This has been such an emotional birthday for me. It just seems like my little boy is so big now. This birthday comes with a lot of mile stones and responsibility for him. He gets to start scouts, which he has informed me involves "learning" how to use a pocket knife and a BB gun. He will be getting baptized in a couple weeks. I keep informing him he will now be accountable for all these actions he decides to make. I think he is taking full advantage of these "free" weeks. He has had a rough time the last couple weeks at home and school and he is having to learn how to handle things more maturely. Hopefully he keeps progressing in this area.


I am so grateful for Brayden's example in my life. He is such a happy fun loving kid. He has a tender forgiving heart. He loves hugs and kisses and being cuddled (though he won't admit to this.) I learn a lot from Brayden and the way he handles things. He is so quick to apologize and is quickly concerned if he thinks he's putting you out.

I look forward to many more fun and exciting years with Brayden. Hopefully I can live up to the task as his mom! Happy Birthday!!
