Happy 15th Birthday Dayton!!!

Quite a fine young man you are becoming.....

You make me so proud to be your mother. You are changing so quickly right before my very eyes. But you are still my little boy and some things just never change.

I love how you chose a huge cross henna tatoo in Florida, you are not afraid to show the world that you love Christ. Nor were you when you played Joseph in the Christmas pageant.

You are a loyal friend

And always will be.

You have always taken sports very seriously ......
And you still do......

You have a smile that can light up a room!

Even if it cost us a small fortune!

You have always had a great sense of humor!

The apple doesn't fall very far from the tree!

When you love something, you love it with all of your heart.....And it becomes a huge part of your life!

You have always been our best friend.......my favorite date.......Dad's favorite fishing buddy.....The person who could make us laugh the hardest.....Whose love and laughter carried us through many difficult moments in our lives.....The one who "went " along with our craziness! The one who said our family needed a little sister..... and loved her from the first moment you laid eyes on her in China.
The one who was always the littlest in the family
until two little girls came along! You have been loved so very much......

And yet been so heart broken. No one your age should have to deal with as much loss as you have in your 15 young years. But one thing remains the same after all these years.....



You are our pride and joy, our first born son. The day you were born is a day that we will never forget for as long as we live, our hearts were filled with a love like we had never known before. You have made us so proud and we pray that your light will continue to shine like it has since the moment we found out we were expecting you, our little miracle.

Happy Birthday Dayton!!!!
