Graydon

I wanted to post some pictures of Graydon's

early years. I didn't have any on my computer

so I took pictures of his scrapbook, that's why

they look kind of funny.

Graydon joined our family family December 5

2000. He was three and a half weeks early

and weighed in at 5lbs 7oz. He stayed in the

hospital for 3 days. I remember how horrible

I felt when we had to leave him there overnight.

But we got to bring him home the next night.

Graydon has always been an angel. He was

a perfect baby and when he got older he didn't

change much. When you told him to stop he

would always stop. He was a great toddler

when both his brothers were born. He has

always been a good older brother and has

always set a great example for our family. I

knew early on that Graydon was going to love

sports like his dad. While his cousins would play

with toys he always had a ball in his hand. I

always wondered if he was normal, because he

never played with his toys.

Here is a list of 10 things we love about Graydon.

1. Always has a smile on his face (except when he

loses a game).

2. He is always willing to share with his brothers

and sister.

3. He's very respectful to adults. I constantly get

compliments from his teachers at school and at

church. They love to teach Graydon because of

his sweet disposition.

4. He loves his family and always puts them first.

He looks out for his little brothers at school.

5. He has a strong testimony,he was

born with his testimony and I know it

will continue to get stronger. He loves to learn

about the gospel. And tries his hardest to make

good choices that will make Jesus happy.

6. I don't know what I would do if Graydon didn't

take out the trash. That's his job and he rarely

complains when he has to do it.

7. His big brown eyes that light up when he smiles.

8. He is such a big helper when it comes to his

little sister. I don't know what I would do

with out him. He always brings me diapers

and wipes, gets her out of the crib, plays with

her and keeps her entertained. Graydon

is very protective of his little Ava already I

know he will always watch out for her.

9.What would we do for entertainment if we didn't

have ball games to watch. I love to watch him now

and can't wait to watch when he gets older.

10. Graydon we are so happy you came to our home.

You fill us with so much love and joy, thank you for

be so easy to love and raise.
