Army Guy Announces the good news!

Army Guy

Well-known member
Ok decided to throw this up here because there have been too many people asking all over the place so it would take an entire day to send out the answers. As many of you know my wife and I had 6 sons and then FINALLY a baby girl. The wife (an avid runner and fitness freak herself) wanted to try one last time for a girl. She went to get the ultrasound yesterday to find out the sex of the baby in her womb and... drum roll please!!!!!















another boy!!!!!!!!!! :shocked:
oh well. This is our last, and the 2 year old girl will now have SEVEN brothers!!!!
We are going to name him Gideon Christopher _______
Why Gideon, because he was an ancient warrior who defeated a numberless enemy with only 300 men. He is the perfect example of faith, strength, and power!
Why Christopher for the middle name??? 3 reasons, but the one I will relay here is a great friend name Kleen!!!!!!!!!! One of the truest warriors I have met who has walked through the fires of hell and back MANY times and, like Gideon of old, manned through it while destroying all opposition in his path!!!
 
Wow...quite the brood, man! Wife and I stopped with 1 - a girl - and we couldn't be happier.

Congrats, and all our best to you and your's! :cheers:
 
Congrats Major, got yourself your own little Army now! You have to have enough for a squad by this point, right? Can't complain about all the trying for another one, now you can practice away without worrying ;).
 
Congrats, Brandon!!

I think the wife and I will be starting our our second baby soon. I think I'm finally psychologically ready now, lol.

WOW! I can not even begin to tell you how touched I am by that! Man that is one of the biggest honors I think I could ever have. You are a shining example of a true warrior and great father. I am honestly humbled to be held in such high regard by someone I look up to in a lot of ways as I do you. Your are one of the best men I know and that gesture means more than you can imagine.

The honor is mine my friend!!! I hope he can grow into the man you have become!!!
 
COngrats my friend. That will be one well protected little girl with 7 brothers
 
Lol l bet your wife thinks its ALL YOUR FAULT!

Congrats bro :D
 
Congratulations Brandon!

"Children’s children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their father."
 
That's quite a legacy you have there Major!! All the best to you and your wife.
 
Congrats AG...

I am young, but I look forward to bringing my very own children into this world every day.

May God bless Gideon, your family, and you my friend.
 
Gideon was assuredly an awesome leader - you'll just need to teach that young'n to thresh wheat before he begins combat training to keep him "authentic" to his namesake. ;)

Heartfelt congratulations to you and the wife. And too Kleen too. :)
 
Congrats AG. 8 kids... you are a much, much, much, much to the tenth power, braver man than I. The kid's gonna be one tough hombre... 7 older brothers to show him the ropes.

Hell yes he'll be tough. My wife has 6 siblings, the youngest son is two. With so many older brothers, he's already a stud.

He can do pull-ups, and pin his 5 year old brother wrestling. Ask him, and Kimbo Slice is his favorite UFC fighter. Nazi Zombies are the only thing he'll admit to being afraid of. He stole beer out of the fridge a couple of times.

Edit: I have been corrected - he is now 3. But the above events took place in his second year of life. :)
 
Perusing before bed, glad I noticed this thread and congratulations my friend! You live in the UT area or are you just there to train punks? Looks like I will be spending some time down there when I return, would love to meet you sometime.

I can just imagine you running family paintball matches down the road,

"Fire team A, take the point!"
"Fire team B, watch the 6!"

Dang man u def dont have anything wrong with ur endo system lol.

Congrats big man u r def 1 hell of a father. If u ever move to GA there is an open house next door that seems to attract big families (5 kids then 4 boys).
 
Im late but... CONGRATULATIONS BROTHA!!!

The good Lord has truly blessed you and praise and worship is definitely in order!! Your a man of strong convictions and even stronger muscle(haha). I cant begin to relay how happy I am to hear of the good news...but on that note it doesnt EVEN COMPARE to the JOY you feel!! A true blessing indeed.


Oh i really like your sons name. You have given him a mighty name, one that he may grow into and hopefully give new honor and meaning to those already great men who he is being named after.
 
Major is definitely using live ammo...
 
congrats buddy.. God bless your family and their new addition
 
... another boy!!!!!!!!!! :shocked:

Gideon, the destroyer of Midianites who restores the judgment of God back in the land! The boy is destined to be a great warrior of The Lord.

Congrats, my friend, and may the Spirit of Christ take up quick residence in the lil' fella. :)

Heartfelt congratulations to you and the wife. And too Kleen too. :)

Gideon will live up to his name. The Sword of the Lord and Gideon. A mighty man of valor!!! :duel:


He was threshing wheat in an obscure place as to hide from the enemy. But God looked inside him and told him what he would become. A mighty man of valor!!


But Thunder would have been a good name as well.........:ntome:

Congratulations Major!! I'm sure your cup of joy runneth over.
