Tyler's 8!

Today was Tyler's 8th birthday. Monty and I still can't believe he's really 8! He's really grown into an incredible young man. We look forward to his baptism in a few weeks and are so proud of his decision to go forward in faith and be baptized. I've truly grown to believe that 8 is a special age in which children are truly accountable. I love that being baptized is his decision. Wednesday he'll also begin scouts.
On Friday my mom took him out to lunch. Of all places he chose Taco Bell. I guess he ate two double stuffed beef burritos, four cups of soda and an earthquake brownie dessert from DQ. Then she took him to get a gift of his choice. Of course he picked out a video game. I guess that's more proof he's an 8 yr old boy. Right after he got home from a nice afternoon with Mammy, Monty's mom took him out and he got to pick something else. He picked this Lego set and spent the next 2 days working on it. It was about 930pieces!! Monty and I doubted him at first, but I guess Nana knew better. He loved every minute of making it.Tonight we celebrated with Brownies and Ice Cream! Tomorrow he's celebrating with his Peterson cousins at a monthly FHE. I'd say he made out pretty good. He also got a sweet card from his friend Chloe. Thanks to everyone for all you do for Tyler. Congrats Tyler. We love you!
