[mouth of tyler}

my kids are so into this choosing between Lucifer and Jesus. They say they choose light not dark,, the Holy Ghost not bad ones. So after a talk on choosing Tyler says "Mom, I choose Jesus" I had to put it down somewhere so I would remember that he said it. What a simple but significant little phrase this is I choose Jesus.

Who knew

Tyler is such a thoughtful little guy. He loves people in general. He loves our neighbor Royal. They give him candy so of course his loves him. Tyler hates contention. He trys so hard to be silly in situations that everyone is angry. So yesterday, he decided that he would like to draw some pictures and give them to the neighbors. But, he wanted to do the knock and run tactic. He got his picture all ready, ran it over, knocked one time on the door, really it was like knock, the run as fast as he could and stand at the side of the house. I knew he was doing this but I sort of let him just have his fun doing, I thought he would take it over then forget about it. 10 minutes went by and he hadn't come in the house so I went and checked on him and he was still running, knocking hiding. He saw me and said they aren't getting it mom. So I said just leave it there and then there will be a prize for them. I told him they probably weren't out of bed yet, it was 9:30 am. So he came in. Later he and a friend decided to make more pictures and take it to the neighbors. I heard him tell cole. "I think they will get these cause they are out of bed now." it was 3:00 pm. I just thought he was so cute, running, knocking, hiding, he was so anxious to see their faces with the prize he gave them. Ty Ty is a sunbeam this year. He so far has figured out that it is funner to tare up little pieces of paper and throw them at the teacher! I know he is the kid that is going to tell his teacher something brilliant like my mom and dad save water so they shower together (btw that is really something that a sunbeam said to their teacher about their parents, but not ust, just for example). But he does have the habit of inserting the word underware where ever he feels the word should be used. What did you do at school today ty? Underware. well, did you learn anything? "stinky underware." nice. Or it is puke, butt butt, peepee, poopoop, farthead, burphead. I had had enough. So, for FHE nicole had a naughty word trash party. Perfect! I wrote all these words on a piece of paper and we threw them in the garbage. Ty loved it. He had so much fun. So that night at bed time he was looking around his room and he said "opipus prime(optimus prime, transformer) loves to play with......(long silence) boobies." Ahh, how do explain this one with out explaining what those actually are and why we don't talk about that either. I looked at him and tried not to laugh. And just said good night. I hope if I ignore it; it will just go away.

ty ty...

oh, how do i even begin with my tyler. When a mom has a baby, sometimes there is an immediate bond they have with their babies. I knew I loved tyler so much and he made me so happy. But, I feel like I grew a bond with Tyler later. I feel it made me love him even more because that bond came later. Tyler has always been the kid to make me laugh. He tries really hard to be the jokester in the family. Tyler has such a valiant spirit. I can already feel it. He is always there to remind me to say prayers. At his young age he even wants to say "HIMS own prayers" I wonder is he desires a relationship with His Father in Heaven before he even realizes it. I think tyler is so handsome. He is really a good looking kids, and always has been. Tyler was born on June 2nd, 2005. He is much second joy. I am so proud of him. I love tyler so much I don't know if I would laugh as much as I do with out him around
