First Show of 2014

We went to our first horse show of 2014 this weekend. Had a great time and Brykn is riding better and better. I had a few people tell me how much "better" he had gotten since last year. My response? "Well, it makes a huge difference when your feet go past the saddle pad."

8? Really? How did he get to be 8?

Happy Birthday to Brykn! I can't believe you are 8 years old. Where did time go. About 2 months ago, Brykn and I were holding hands (something we hadn't done in awhile--big kids don't hold their mom's hand, you know) and walking into a store. I distinctly remember thinking, "I need to cherish this feeling--the feeling of his hand in mine." Since that time, every chance I get, I grab his hand. And, lucky for me, he has been more and more willing to hold my hand.

I'm so proud to be your mom, Brykn. And, while I don't know where the last 8 years has gone, I am thankful for each and every day. When I look at you, I see your dad. I see dreams, aspirations, innocence, curiosity, love, and the future. I see a kid who will most definitely change the world--for the better. I see a kid who holds my heart. I see love.

Hugs and kisses, Brykn. I love you more than anything in the whole entire world.

Love,
Mom
