a busy weekend...

it was 8 years ago today that we welcomed our first born, grayson, into our lives.  i have tears in my eyes just thinking about that special day and how our lives have never been the same since. time flies way too fast and oh how i wish i could slow things down.  his birthday happened to fall on father's day this year so we celebrated his birthday with his friends yesterday by playing a little laser tag and arcade games.  we had a blast together and grayson says this was the best party ever and he now wants to have every birthday there with the same group of friends :)  happy birthday grayson!!!  we ♥ you!!!

i love you forever, i like you for always
as long as i'm living my baby you'll be

(from the book "i love you forever" which happened to be our favorite to read to grayson as a baby)

still can't believe he's eight...



all suited up and ready for laser tag!

and leave it to beau to add a little 
extra excitement to the party by losing 
a tooth!

his favorite gift is a track phone
compliments of nana.  he is so 
excited about this he can hardly 
stand it!

his other favorite gift is a ripstick
compliments of mom and dad

showing us his tricks


and last but not least.....brandon, i have a hard time coming up with the perfect words to describe what an awesome father you are to our children.  you are more than anything i could have dreamed of.  they are the luckiest kids to call you dad.  thanks for all you do for them and the love you have for them.  you are a gift from god and we thank him every day for you!  happy father's day honey!  we ♥ you with all our hearts!


brandon with his new bike the kids got him.

for rides together)!  we are all so excited about
this.
