Tyler's Birthday

Tyler turned 9 years old on December 7, 2008. It is hard to believe that he can be that old already. We are so grateful for him and that he is a part of our family. I remember the day we blessed him as an infant. We were all gathered at my parents home in Grand Junction Colorado; we have family and friends there to celebrate our little one. Tyler was blessed at that time and told that he would be a great and loving example to his brothers and sisters. We have seen the fruits of that blessing. He has always been wonderful with his brothers and sister. From the time Benjamin was born Tyler was always close by asking to help and hold him. We have so many pictures of Tyler with one of his siblings sitting on his lap. He loves them so much. He has such a soft and loving heart. His old first and second grade teacher said she would love to keep him in her class forever. He has been found back in that classroom during his recess helping the younger children with reading or math or other asignments that they might be working on at the time. We love Tyler for his loving spirit and brilliant mind.
