I was cleaning off my book shelves the other day and I ran across a book Christopher wrote in First Grade for the Young Author's Contest sponsored by our homeschool group in Belton. His book was about what he wanted to be when he grew up.
As a mother of 2 sons, I expected half of the things he wrote in his book: a police officer, a fireman, a football player...but the one that caught my attention was when he said he wanted to be in the Air Force! At six years old, this was one of Christopher's dreams for his future.
Well...the future is now upon us! Christopher enlisted into the Air Force Junior ROTC Program through the local high school. Where did the time go? It just seems like yesterday that I was washing mud pies from his hands so he could write that book for the Young Authors Contest!!
So I had to share the photos of the young man in my life who is growing up MUCH too quickly for this Mother's heart!!
Brad teaching Chris how to tie a neck tie.....
Next is my young gentleman in his ROTC Uniform: 
Some close up head shots:
Whoever said "time flies by when you are having fun", had no idea how true that is ...especially when you are watching your children grow up. It just seems like yesterday he was BORN!
We are awfully proud of our fine young man, Christopher Irons!
...guess you could say we saw this coming...
A Proud Air Force (to be) Mom,

Congratulations to a proud Air Force (to be) mom, from a proud Navy wife!
Did Brad get shorter or did Christopher just keep thinning out!! Being and Air Force Brat, there's no other branch of the service to join!! We're proud of you Christopher--Keep with the Fightin' Blue!!
Blessings--The Marvray's
