I Blinked!

He went from this...

Super Kyle age 5. (with his side kick Winston. Waiting for a mighty battle with his daddy)

 To this...

Kyle age 9. (being a true gentlemen)

 And now this...

Kyle age 11 1/2. (Oregon coast )

I have been crying all week. I am so overwhelmed with joy to see him grow and watch him prepare to receive the priesthood. I'm afraid to close my eyes for a minute more because then I will be sending him on a mission once they open again.

Dear Kyle,

Happy Birthday my son! I love you so much. No matter how many times I tell you to stop growing, you don't listen! I can hardly believe that your time in Primary is officially over and you will be up passing the sacrament with the other young men soon. I remember when you were little and recovering from your accident that I was so sad at the possibility of not seeing you grow up, but hearing Heavenly Father speak to me telling me that he has great plans for you. It brought great comfort to me and I know that if you follow the spirit and honor your priesthood you will live up to the plans that Heavenly Father has for you. You are a great young man and a good example to your sisters and young cousins.

Remember... I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be!

*I also want to send a little love to my Aunt and Uncle who are celebrating their 56th anniversary! It is so great seeing you every week and I hope your day is a fabulous one.
