Happy 12th Birthday, Tyler!

Happy Birthday Tyler! Can you believe he is 12. This freezing rain was exactly what happened 12 years ago. We lived up a dirt lane and ended up having to spend what was supposed to be our first night home, at my parents house because the lane was a complete sheet of ice and being two, paranoid, new parents we decided not to drive the lane. Anyway --

Tyler loves life, he enjoys hanging out with friends, watching tv, playing football and basketball, riding four wheelers, and his cell phone!

Tyler is excited to finally be 12and to move on from Primary and start a new adventure in the Young Men's Program. Passing the Sacrament, Scout Camps, Baptisms for the Dead, Standards Night, etc. will all be new things at our house.

I can't really believe Tyler is 12. I know people say all of the time "Enjoy your kids while they are young, because they grow up so fast." When I stop and think 4 years until a drivers license and dating, and 6 years until a mission, I know how fast those years will go.

Today Tyler has a basketball game, he wants to eat at Mandarin Gardens and then go bowling. Tomorrow, Todd will ordain him a Deacon and then we will have a small family dinner after church.

Happy Birthday Tyler. We Love You!!!

I hope Tyler had a great day. Wow, 12! I remember when you would bring him to work in his infant seat. He was such a great distraction for me. Time sure does go by fast. I know you are enjoying everyday with your boys. I bet they are just tons of fun.
Have a great Week!
