I can't believe Grif turned nine this past week! He is growing too fast! He is an amazing kid and I'm so glad he's part of our family. Here he is getting ready to dive into his favorite dessert.... Oreo Cheesecake!
I thought I'd write a little tribute to him to let him know how much I love him. I included a slide show of him doing his favorite thing..... FOOTBALL!!
My sweet Griffin........
I can't believe you are turning nine.
You're growing up so fast~ where goes the time?
You're such a sweet kid, a big part of our family.
One older brother, one younger... how great that must be?
In school you're a "gem" as your teachers would say,
At home, a huge help... I thank Heavenly Father each day.
You are so fun to watch when you play all your sports.
There's football, basketball, baseball... heck, there's all sorts!
You are an example to those around you and I'm happy to say,
A good sport playing games... I sure like it that way!
Named after your grandparents, a name we all know.
They are both proud of you and the strength that you show.
Thanks for the sweet spirit you bring to our home.
Being your mom is the best feeling I've known.
Keep being the boy I know you to be,
Time goes so fast, a young man you'll soon be.
So happy birthday, I want you to know
I think your awesome... and I love you so!
