Tiger is almost 7

My Tiger is turning 7 this coming Thursday. Where did the time go? Wasn't it just yesterday that he was saying "hold you mama"? Now he is rarely asking me to hold him. He is wanting to go throw the football, ride his bike or boogie board at the beach.

I am so proud of Tiger. He is the most caring boy I know. He always puts others feelings before his own. I am always amazed and blessed by his unselfishness and love for others. I learn a lot from him every day! Happy Birthday Tiger!


Throwing a pass to dad


He loves hiking too


He is rarely seen without a football


Most of all, he loves his brother and sister so much

I love your family! I know I've said this before but your amazing children and their capacity to be unselfish and caring through you and your husband! My Dad always says that "children are a product of their environment." I know that your children are blessed through you just as you are blessed through them and together you are all blessing the world! Thank you for sharing and happy birthday to your Tiger!

i hate when they stop saying "hold you". even my two year old doesn't say it anymore.

my hope would probably get along with your tiger! happy birthday.

I can't believe everyone is saying their kids said "hold you, mama" when they wanted to be held, too. I thought that was something unique to Meredith. Ha! I really did!! I don't remember Reagan and Madison saying it that way, but maybe they did.

What a sweet post, Nyla! Happy Birthday, Tiger!

Bryce, We love you! You have been very loving and giving from the start. When you were a toddler, you had the sweetest smile on your face all the time. If you fell down you got up and smiled at the first person who you saw with a big booboo on your head. Your mom is so right about you. You are a very special boy! With a very special gift from God! Happy Birthday, Tiger!

Nyla,

If you email me at blanier@fone.net I'll send my prologue to you and then if you like it...I'll send more to you to read! The prologue isn't very long and probably isn't very well written but I would love to hear constructive criticism!

Have a great day!
