Happy Birthday Son...



Twenty years ago tomorrow the world changed drastically. Our son was born. Of course it wasn't until 19 days later that we found out about him. But the world has not been the same since. And why you ask well just let me tell you.

He has always been a firecracker and in constant movement. The only time that he held still was when he was asleep which usually happened very late into the night, when he was in his car set or when he was reading a book.
He has always had two really unbelievable loves in his life. His Grandfather and his horses.
He has such a big and kind heart. He is so loyal to those who are important to him. He will go to any length to protect his sister, even blooding a guys nose because he drug his little sister into the boys bathroom.
He never seems to stop surprising us with his many different talents.
You can always tell when he is up to something because he gets that mischievous look in his eye. Then you know you had been look out.
He loves to rope almost anything at anytime but especially his sister and Rooster.
He has such a keen sense of humor and keeps us laugh constantly. It is really fun to listen to him banter back and forth with his sister.

We have been so blessed to have him be a part of our lifes. Some days have been easier than others, but everyday I have thanked my Heavenly Father that he is my son. I have enjoyed him so much these past few months. He has truly been a blessing to us and has helped his sister adjusted to the many things in life with his teasing, pep talks (actually just blunt talking of just get out there and do it). Where would we be without our son!!! Long lost, sides not hurting from laughing, nothing would be critiqued, and we would become a slack not on our toes to keep up with him family.

Happy Birthday Son!!!
