Big B's 8th Birthday

April 4th, 2014

It's Great to be Eight!  Branson hit a mile stone when he turned 8 years old.  He's such a sweet young man.  I'm proud to call him my son.  

I love this little face...

Our little chunk at 5 months old

And he grew...

Our little ham at 2 and 1/2 years old

And he grew...

Handsome Branson!

Birthday morning...

A basketball scripture case to go with his new scriptures

A healthy donut breakfast :)

He goes through a lot of soccer balls.  Getting a new one rocks.

So we took it to the park...

...where we met our dear friends, the DeHarts.  They moved to California and surprised Branson on his birthday while they were in town.  Natalya, Jacob, Branson, Zechariah, Irelynn, Judah, Annika, and Norah

The moms :)

Birthday evening...

Happy Birthday to you, buddy.  You light up the room.  Your smile is contagious.  You're smart, talented, compassionate, energetic, goofy, and tender-hearted.  Everyone loves you.  Everyone wants to be your friend.  Thanks for being YOU.

You're one awesome kid!
