Twenty-six years ago this little guy was placed in my arms and my life has never been the same. He has brought so much joy into our lives. With each child our love has just grown and encompassed each of them. I have so many fun memories of Griff…..loving sports since the start, mimicking football players on TV when he was 18 months old, running with the football as a toddler with his hand waving behind, going to work with Bill in Ogden and crying when he got home because Bill would be so busy working he'd forget to feed him, driving the golf cart all over the place at the Ogden Elevator when he was only 5 years old, driving the truck and horse trailer home from the church farm with Bill asleep in the other seat when he was 8 years old, all the games we watched and cheered at from the time he was 8 years old. I could go on and on. With all of those memories the most profound for me are watching him as a missionary in the Colombia, Barranquilla mission grow into a faithful, wonderful man. He left as a boy and came back a man converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a commitment to serve Heavenly Father. And now he is a devoted husband and father. I am so grateful for this journey in my life and look forward to the years ahead.
Happy, Happy Birthday Griff…….We Love YOU!
Little did the photograph know but that sports would be his life!
