30

My first born child turns
30

today!

( He seriously will hate me for this post. I'll be in hiding if any of you need me. But then he doesn't read my blog, but I know one of you will tell him :) This is way to much information for the rest of yall. This is my blog/journal and I needed to write these things for me. )

After a 36 hour labor, which nearly killed me
Carlos Harrison Griffis was born!
Wednesday, March 28, 1979
9:00 P.M.
8 lbs. 11 1/2 oz.
20 1/2 inches
Look at all that hair.
I had some serious heartburn.
He was a wonderful baby!
From 2 weeks on he slept all night!


He started walking at 8 1/2 months old.

I started chasing.

18 months
He was the funnest toddler.

2 1/2 years old
And he said the funniest things.

He was the only little one in town and his Aunt Carla and Aunt Angie spoiled him so much. They couldn't help it.



He was our first Eagle Scout on either side of our family. I think that alone did more for preparing him for the rest of his life.

1997 Senior Picture

He served a two year Mission for the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah. First one on the Griffis side of the family to serve a mission.


He has always enjoyed many hobbies, fishing, golfing, hunting and others.


He brought into our life's our first
daughter in law, Christon.

our first Grand Girl, Shelby.

And our 2nd Grand Girl, Reagan.


He's a good hunter.

A good son.

a good brother,

a good grandson,

a good nephew,

a good friend and cousin,

a good husband,

and I pray he will always be a good father.

I know how much he loves his family.

Happy 30th birthday son!

We are very proud of you.

And love you very much!

I could say a lot more but will stop at this. But my heart is full. Harrison turning 30 is harder on me than when I turned 50 last year. Ugh I'm getting old!
