(My [Craig] first post; Melissa's done all the others, FYI.) Clayton LOVES strategy games, and what better strategy game than Stratego? If you don't watch out, he'll play a pretty mean chess game, and against the computer he's figured out how to conquer the world in Risk. Against Dad, though, victory has eluded him . . . until the other night while playing Stratego at Grandma & Grandpa Besaw's party for Melissa's birthday, and aren't I
so grateful that Madison (top picture) and Mackenzie (bottom picture) were feeling camera-happy and captured the moment for my posterity (and now anyone else on the planet who happens along this blog)!
If you look really carefully, you might be able to see a little blue captured flag in that little fist of his, but it's the great big smile that tells the tale. Congratulations, Bud--now we'll really know you've come of age when you can take on me and Grandpa in Scrabble; I don't doubt that day will come, though, not with the competitive nature of your Dad and (especially) Mom coursing through your veins!

Way to go, Clayton. Remember this for future competitions. I remember how thrilled Gavin was when he won Settlers of Catan against his Dad, Uncle and Grandma. You are right, victory is sweet.
Way to go Clayton...but can you beat your Uncle Kent? You will have to come over some time and find out!
I can tell we have got to get Clayton and my Micah together -- I bet their personalities are very similar. Micah is very competitive too, and I noticed Clayton's BYU shirt... :) Micah's 4th grade teacher was a big Wyoming fan and his 5th grade teacher, who also happens to be married to his 4th grade teacher, is as well. So what did Micah give his teacher on the last day of school? A BYU shirt with her name on the back. :) I bet he and Clayton would hit it off very well.
