Happy 8th Birthday Michael

Today is Michael's birthday... his 8th birthday! I can't believe my little boy is 8 years old already! It just seems like yesterday that he looked like this...
This picture sums up Micheal the best.. even though he was only 7 months old it still rings true for today. He is full of life and energy. He has (and always has had) a very contageous and infectious laugh. He's a very sensitive kid (especially when it comes to pain, losing teeth, flu shots, strep cultures... etc) He is a great friend to everyone and is very kind and thoughtful of others.
He is so excited to turn 8 and be baptized on Saturday. He is ready. He knows the gospel and was so excited to get his first "real" set of scriptures tonight with his name on them. He told me that this was the best birthday he's ever had... because he got "ALL" the scriptures. He's also completely excited to start the Boy Scout program, with his first meeting TODAY on his birthday! He also got some scout stuff for his birthday (I know.. I'm way too practical this year!)
Michael is a great kid and we are so proud of him! We love you Michael! Happy Birthday!
