Tyson Turns 12

Tyson turned 12 on August 10.  This was a big birthday for him because he can now hold the Priesthood.  It took a while for me to post because I wanted to show pictures of everything from his birthday and he just had his friend party yesterday.  He also passed the sacrament for the first time today.  I was so proud of him.  When I took him school shopping he had me buy him a new suit to wear since he has outgrown his other ones.  He had a fun birthday.  His big gift was an i-touch.  He has really enjoyed playing on it.  I don't think he uses it a whole lot for the music, but he enjoys the apps.  He had a combined party with his best friend Miller.  They both wanted to have their parties at the same place, and since they are only 8 days apart we decided they mine as well have it at the same time.  They went to a new gym here in town where they played laser tag, soccer, basketball, and they climbed a ropes course.  This stuff was all wonderful, but the best part of his birthday in my opinion was last week when he was ordained a deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood.  We love Tyson.  How blessed we are to have him as a part of our family!  Here are a few pictures.

The boy I was so proud of at church.  He took his suit off before I got a picture of him, when I asked him to put it back on he wasn't happy about it.  This is what I got from him.  He really did look nice at church!
