Connor is TEN!

My sweet Connor James.  I can’t believe it’s been 10 YEARS since you were born.  It seems like just yesterday I was writing a blog post about your birth. You have grown into such a sweet, kind hearted, hilariously funny,  and loving young man.  You never meet a stranger and you love to play all kinds of sports.  You are quick to defend someone who is being treated wrong and try and make it right.  Of course like every kid your age you enjoy Roblox and Fortnite and that’s pretty much all you want to do these days.  Your dream trip is to the beach somewhere, preferably Hawaii or so you say! LOL!  You are a great big brother and love your sister so much.  Nobody can make her laugh like you do.  The minute you walk into the room she lights up and giggles.

You are curious and have a thousand questions a day…but that’s a good thing.  Your favorite food is cheeseburgers, especially Whataburger.  You also love ice cream and milk shakes.  I love how much you love Jesus and want to learn more about God.  You recently asked Jesus into your heart this year and it makes my heart so happy!

Your favorite color is blue.  You also want a Bugatti someday after you start your own business with your cousin Jarrett.  Ha ha!  You both named your business JarCon Inc.  I hope you both do become millionaires because that would be awesome.  I wonder what your brilliant idea will be 🙂

You have the whole world ahead of you son.  I pray that God watches over you every step of the way and always know you can talk to him whenever and wherever you want to.  I know God has great plans for you!  This has been a crazy year full of changes and lots of craziness…but you’ve been a great helper and a ray of light every day.  I thank God for you…you and your sister are the best thing I’ve ever done and I’m so proud God chose me to be your Mama!  What an honor that is.

I love you…HAPPY DOUBLE DIGITS….

The coolest thing ever.  Card My Yard Colleyville did a wonderful job on the birthday sign in our yard.  It made Connor’s day and he felt so special.

Oh how time flies…

“Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them – a mother’s approval, a father’s nod – are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.”
― Mitch Albom
