Today is a very special day. Tyler got baptized this morning. He was nervous but very excited. We met as a Stake and had a little program. Then they called us back by ward to the font. When it was Tyler's turn he yelled, "the water is warm!" Eric did great and then we met back in the chapel for a little program. It was just Tyler and the bishop's kid named Ryan. I gave a short talk about the holy ghost and Ryan had a little talk from his uncle. Eric was probably the most nervous for the confirmation but he did great. Eric doesn't get very emotional or show feelings very often but he did get teary eyed. Eric said it was very neat to baptize his own child since he didn't get that opportunity and he said he could feel the spirit strong. We are excited that he chose to become a member of the church.
We gave Tyler scriptures for his birthday
For Tyler's actual birthday yesterday we went out to his favorite place, "Ruby Tuesday's." It was basically a nightmare and it reminded why we don't take kids there. My favorite tradition that we do for birthday's is watch their birth video. I love to be reminded of that day and how tiny he used to be! Tyler got a purple light saber and a Simpson's video game. Grandma Pat and Aunt Niki each got his four books that he got to choose. Grandma and Grandpa Swanson gave Tyler money, which he loved! It makes me sad that he is eight and so big! It just seems like time flies. It just reminds me to enjoy each day with them because it goes by so fast.
