A Milestone...

Tomorrow THIS boy turns 8! Tyson has come to another milestone in his life...a very exciting one. There is something special about the number 8! It is a turning point in a child's life, a fresh start, a new beginning. From the time our children are very little we focus a lot on turning 8. How we will enter into a covenant with our Father in Heaven and in return we are given the BEST birthday present we will ever receive, the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Tyson has brought so much JOY and LOVE into our home. He is so compassionate and has a very tender heart. He feels remorse immediately when making a wrong decision. He wants to please his Father in Heaven and his parents. He wants to be the BEST he can be. He has determination and drive, and a love of the scriptures. He will often remind us that we need to read or say prayers before going to bed. He is valiant and obedient. I know he will touch many peoples lives with his sweet spirit.

Tyler and I are so happy with his decision to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is excited too. He is very quick to tell people that is he is turning 8 and that he will be baptized. He has faith that his non-member friends will have a desire to attend his baptism. He will make a great missionary someday.

There are many more wonderful things in store for this brown eyed, freckled faced boy. I'm so lucky to be his mother and have the opportunity to see him develop his talents and gain a testimony of the gospel.

Happy Birthday Tyson...we LOVE YOU!
