{happy 11th birthday greyson}

greyson, you turned 11 while we were in alabama. i guess that is one of the perks of your birthday falling during spring break...you have celebrated your birthday in many different states.  you are turning into quite the outdoorsman.  you love to fish, hunt, and ride four wheelers.  you are very opinionated and aren't afraid to express your feelings.  

 you have narrowed your sports down and really enjoy football and baseball.  you still don't like school but are doing pretty well.  you currently are trying to earn all a's so you can get an ipod touch.  we are getting a little nervous because on your latest midterm you had 1 b and the rest a's.  math is definitely your strong subject and when you don't get 100% on your tests you think you do bad.

 you still play piano and also love to play xbox.  you really enjoy farming sim 19 and fort nite. you only get to play on weekends and at first you hated us for that but now i've noticed you don't even play during the weekends that much (mom win!). :)

 you are kind and helpful (most of the time). you let your brothers play with you, which they just love.  we read the first three of the harry potter books together and then you decided to read the fourth on your own because it was taking us too long.  we enjoy watching the movies after your finish each book.

 you hate having your picture taken and think you're too cool for most things.  i'm nervous about you going to middle school but i'm sure you will do just fine.
