Birthday Boy!!!
Yes, we have another birthday in our house. We actually have 3 June birthdays in our house! I am still trying to take it all in that I have a 10 year old now. WOW. The past 10 years has flown by. I will never forget the day he was born. We drove to the hospital at 5 AM, they got me all hooked up with meds, and then started the inducement, and after 4 big pushes he was out. The overwhelming joy that I felt at that very moment was priceless. That he was mine and that he grew inside of me for 9 months, and now here he was. I remember thinking, I wonder what he will be like in 10 years. And here we are and I could not ask for more. I know some of my blog readers know my oldest, but if you have not had the priveledge of meeting him, let me share a little bit of what he is like now:
1. He is HANDSOME. Dont believe me look at the pictures below. 
2. He is compassionate. ANY time there is someone who is hurting or in need or sad, he is there and very concerned and trying to find a way to fix the problem.
3. Funny….all of his jokes make me laugh. And he has a great sense of humor.
4. Loyal to his family. He will protect his brothers and sister if any one tries anything on them. This does not mean that my kids never fight…trust me they do, but when it comes to the outside world, no one messes with his family.
5. Sensitive heart, he is very sensitive. Even when he does something wrong, he has always been very quick to admit it and ask for forgiveness.
6. Smart. He is very smart. Sometimes I think too smart for his own good! 
He passed the TAKS test this year with flying colors and had almost all A’s on his report card. He is also a great reader.
7. Hard worker…when geared in the right direction, he is a very hard worker. He loves to help me in the yard and with a little incentive he is really good at helping to clean up around the house. Even at school his teacher said that often he would help to stack chairs, and clean up the extra stuff on the floor without being asked.
8. Great cook….he loves to cook. And he is getting pretty good at it. Often he will make the whole family breakfast (eggs, toast, bacon). He even sets the table. He is eager to learn more, we just need more time so I can teach him.
9. He loves Jesus. He really does. And that makes me happy. This is the one that counts. I always tell my kids the greatest thing in life is to KNOW Jesus. Not just know about him, but REALLY know him. In the end…that is all that matters.
10. I am just thankful that we have him in our life. He is such a blessing to me and to our family. When he is not around “the party is gone”. I know he is not perfect, but he is a great kid. And I am just thankful today for him.
We love you son. And we are so proud of you and who you are becoming. We are praying every day for you, and that God will continue to raise you up to be a man of God. That he will protect you and keep you safe. That he will guard your eyes and ears, and that he will guide your steps. And that he will give me and your dad wisdom for every day.

Hey Bryce:
Happy double digits! You are such a cool guy and I’m so glad I have gotten to know you. You make me laugh and give great hugs. Save me a piece of that birthday cake….bring it Wed. night, OK? I’ll tell Soloman about your birthday. I’m sure he will bark a happy greeting. Have a great day today (remember today is all about YOU)and have fun Thursday night. Don’t get your hands dirty.
I love you, Bryce,
Ruth
it was supposed to be a birthday cake..only half of it posted
Hey, Bryce, happy birthday from the far away jungles of Asia! It’s been a few years since we last saw you (at your Aunt Rachael’s wedding) and from the pics your mom posted, you’ve grown quite a bit! My earliest memory of you, Bryce, was at your mom and dad’s wedding. I was doing videoing, and I remember you giving a big growl like a lion (ok, maybe a funny moment for everyone but mom and dad
Anyway, we’d agree with your mom that you’re someone who likes to make people laugh, which we hope you continue to do so! May God continue to build you into a young man who loves and follows Him, and who brings joy to others’ hearts.
Love,
Uncle Doug & Auntie Maria
Bryce,
Happy birthday buddy. You are such a great young man and someone that I am proud of. You have such a wonderful heart for other people and for the Lord.
Not long ago when you were riding with us in the car and Amanda said she wasn’t feeling too well, without hesitation you reached over and laid your hand on her shoulder and just simply asked the Lord to touch her body and help her to feel better. That says a lot about your heart for others and your faith in God. And for the godly parents that God has blessed you with.
I hope today is filled with lots of happiness for all the happiness you bring to the Clarks.
Love you,
“Mr. Bruce”
Hey Bryce man
You have reached double digits. Cool! I am so very proud of you and like many others remember the day you came into our lives. From the moment you were born, you were chosen by God to be raised up and carry the influence of Christ to your generation. No matter what you do in life, you will be a change agent for His glory. I am on the sidelines watching, paying and behind you 100 per cent. Know that Papa and Nana Nancy love you you and always hope the best for you. I will write again. OK?

Happy 10th Birthday, Bryce!
When I think of you, the first thing that comes into my mind is how friendly you are to everyone - even total strangers. God has given you a wonderful personality and I know He will use you to serve Him.
I wish I was there to give you a big birthday hug and kiss.
My verse for you is: “But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and gentleness.” 1 Timothy 6:11
I love you,
Nana Joan
XOXO

Hello Birthday Bryce, “the MAN” of 10 years!!!!
We sure wish we were there to celebrate with you. My aunt taught me to celebrate everything you can as much as you can because life is just too short. We only have one life and the only things that matter are the things we do for Jesus. I am SO PROUD of the way you are living for Jesus. You are a great example of compassion and sweetness. God blessed you with brains, good looks and and awesome family. We love you!
Nana Nancy
Happy Birthday Bryce!
I know it’s been a while since we’ve seen you, but we think of you and your mom always has great things to say about you! We know the Lord has only the best in mind for your life. Keep your eyes on the Lord and listen to the teachings of your parents. We love you and hope to see you soon.
Love,
Matt, Ruth, Gracie and Luke Trehal

There are lots of things that I love about you but one especilly comes to mind and that’s the enthusiasm you bring to everything you do. It’s a special gift that makes you lots of fun to spend time with.
I’m pleased to hear how you love Jesus with that same exuberant spirit.
Love you, Auntie Fran.
Bryce, Happy Belated Birthday! I hope your day was very special, just like you are. You bring such joy to your friends and family. Thank you for the special gifts you and your brothers and sister sent to my daughter for her birthday in Chile, too!
