Clyde Strength is FIVE!!

I seriously had a melt down when Tate and Eliza both turned five…but now our oldest grand baby is five, and his sister will be five soon too!

HOW did that happen so fast??

A week ago Thursday, we all headed to the farm to celebrate Clyde’s birthday with him!

First we had a yummy meal and then it was time for gifts.

My photos are mostly blurry, but I am still adding them here – because the memories captured mean more to me than my photography skills!


Clyde had asked for chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and his mama made him just that!

I love this series of photos – they show our Clyde’s personality so perfectly!


What a sweet little celebration it was!

Clyde is full of enthusiasm, JOY, inquisitiveness, and energy…but has the softest heart and fills his first-born-big-brother roll perfectly.

He is an amazing willing helper to his Mama!

He fills my heart SO full!!

For those of you who are already in the season of being a Grandma, you know how full my heart is!

For those of you not quite there yet – JUST WAIT.

What a gift to see your own children be parents, and what a blessing to be a part of your grand children’s lives!

Clyde Strength – we are SO grateful you were born!!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

Happy, happy birthday to you, Clydey boy!!
