8 Years Old...Already?

Yep...really, already, Grant turned 8 this week.  I simply can't believe it.  My whole life those who were "older" have told me that the older you get the faster time goes...wow, they weren't kidding!  Every year seems to go faster and yet it seems to me that it was just moments ago that I held a 6 pound 6 oz little boy in my arms and cried at how beautiful he was...nope, 8 years ago already!  So, we made our regular birthday trek to Pizza Hut and then did presents, cake/ice cream at our house with Grandma and Grandpa in tow.  This little guy is the guy who used to cry so hard that he would throw up when we left him anywhere other than with us or Grandma...who wouldn't speak at pre-school...now...well, he wanted to be sure that Pizza Hut knew it was his birthday and made sure everyone at school knew too.  I love him.  He is so different from my other two and I just love him to pieces.  It won't be long and he'll be graduating...I know that, but I seem to love every age that he is at...watching him grow, explore and become our little man.  I love you Grant.  Happy Birthday little man!

Day 1 of his life :)  So little.

Birthday cake! He wanted 8 candles, plus a new "8" candle...plus the "8" candle from Brock's b-day!
