{a day to celebrate}

Today, April 6th, is quite an eventful day for church history. It is definitely a day to reflect in gratitude for the many events of this day! Especially a certain birthday!! =)

Also in our little family we've added a baptism celebration to this already happy day! Tyler was baptized on April 6th, 2007. Two years ago he made a choice to make a commitment in his life has blessed his family greatly. As we grow, with little James on the way, we can only begin to count the ways Tyler's decision to make his life an eternal one has blessed each of us individually as well as a family unit. We are so proud of the man he always was and the priesthood holder he has become! The lord has blessed our home in so many ways and we are grateful for everyone of them!

So today we say...Happy Life Changing Day Tyler! We love you so much!

After being off track for a month, Wyatt is getting ready to go back to school today. I was so excited for this day all last week. When you only have one child at home there's no one to keep him busy thus off track time is rough on the "mommy time" to say the least. He's in the other room right now getting his new school outfit on and reminding me "it's 8 o'clock mom" then "it's 8:15 mom" and I realized.....my boy is going back to school......my baby is on his last few months of 5th grade!! He'll be a Jr. High kid in 3 months!!! WOW!!! Where does the time go? I know that here in Grand Terrace the Jr. High is 7th and 8th grade so technically he'll still be at his elementary school next year but my siblings, friends and I all grew up waiting for 6th grade....it was the big number! 6th grade meant you were going to Jr. High!! While Wyatt isn't exactly going to Jr High yet in my mind the fact that he's going to be in 6th grade in 3 months is just as shocking!!!

Only 3 years to high school!!
Only 7 years to graduation!!
Only 8 years to missionary!!
Only.....oh my goodness a family!!

Let's not go that far yet!! =)

Good Morning Everyone!! Hope you all have a happy Monday!!
