EIGHT... are you serious!

Oh my! My 1st born is EIGHT! It hardly seems possible. The day he was born I became a mother for the first time, it was the beginning of so much! {grin} God couldn't have given us a more perfect 1st child for our family. As are all of our children, Grayson is so special... one of a kind and so beautifully and wonderful made. I am so lucky to be his mom. It's hard to believe he is the big brother to 3 little brothers & 2 sisters. And what an AWESOME big brother he is!

Happy birthday Grayson!

We LOVE YOU!

  7. What a sweetie! Enjoy him every moment (all of them, actually!) because time goes waaay too fast. My oldest and only son is now 17! I remember his toothy little grin just like Grayson's. God's blessings are so good! :)

  16. What a handsome young man. Those pictures are SO different from the one of him on the sidebar.

    I love how you have been showcasing each of your boys individually lately. I can't wait to hear something special about Vance next.

  17. This is all so sweet! He really has changed compared to his sidebar pic.

    I love how you wrote down all of his favorite foods! And how he likes to map out houses...I used to do the same thing when I was his age! I had a treehouse...it was so fun.

    Happy 8, Grayson!

  22. Happy Birthday to your little man!

    So much in common-my oldest is about to have a birthday and he's also the big brother to 3 brothers and twin sisters. Being the oldest is such a special role!

  23. First off you look way to young to have any 8 year old (that's a compliment!)

    Second Grayson is gorgeous or should I say handsome (I don't think guys like to be called gorgeous) seriously thought he is a good looking boy and it sounds like he has a personality to match. From the idea I get of how you and your hubby raise your family he is going to go far and do much for the Kingdom of God! What a blessing.

    Finally, Happy Birthday Grayson!
