HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY TO OUR OLDEST GRANDSON, COLTON!


Look at that adorable face and those deep blue eyes

I can't believe that 9 years have gone by since our Colton was born.  I remember sitting in the hospital room crocheting the edge of one of his baby blankets while Emily was in labor.  I was blessed to be a witness to Colton's birth and it will always be a treasured memory.  As the oldest grandchild, Colton, will always be the guinea pig grandchild.  We all fought over holding, babysitting, and being with Colton.  Everything Colton did was the best and greatest.  Colton is still such a great young man.  He is always trying to make the right choice in everything he does.  He is such a great big brother and I love watching how much he cares about his little brothers.  Colton is smart and conscientious.  He gets up in the morning and makes his bed, empties the dishwasher, gets ready for school, reads for 15 minutes, and wipes the bathroom counters.  All without being asked.  Colton loves sports and his favorite TV station is ESPN.  He loves to play sports and is a very good athlete.  Colton is loved and a very special grandson.  Happy Birthday dear Colton!!!

Ready for church

Colton would drag every book out and want grandpa to read to him

Two year old birthday

See, Colton was a Texas A & M fan at a young age

A handyman at a young age

Look at that face...."Yes, grandma, I am a closet BYU fan."

Colton is full of spunk and personality

Grown up enough to surf
