Tomorrow, this guy turns 17. Yeah, you heard that right. 17!!! Where did the time go, huh??? This is just a random collection of pictures of my first-born when he still had that baby face, oh, and the last one, well, that’s now, and he hasn’t stopped making us laugh for the entire 17 years! .jpg "img_0404")
He loves torturing his brother….jpg "christians-birthday-christmas-cards-008")
he adores him anyway. .jpg "img_0284")
He loves sports, but he used to take them a little too seriously. He grew right out of that..jpg "february-tournament_048")
I included this one, because it’s actually at one of his birthday parties!

He was getting over being sick in this next one, and we were worried about him. The show had to go on, but right after this, we scooped him up and took him to get some rest before Amber’s wedding. It worked. He was much better for the big day and our smiles weren’t strained with concern. It’s probably one of the few pictures of us dressed up. .jpg "january-2007-011")
There has never been a dull moment since you came into our world. You are our oldest, our comedian with a big heart. You don’t meet a stranger, and can talk shit with the best of them. You laugh a little too loud, just like your Daddy, and I love it! You are so smart, whether you believe it or not, and with a little push, you can do anything. Seriously, anything. You sometimes don’t know when to quit, for example, if you don’t stop blowing that duck call, I may lose my mind, but that never quit attitude will take you far. I’ll probably have to remind you a few times along the way, but you are going to be just fine. We are so proud of the awesome man you have become. I hope you enjoy your 17th year. We love you so very much! That’s all folks!
