Tyson

Tyson is an amazing boy! He is so fun to parent and is much better than I ever could have asked for. I'm so grateful for him!

He thinks it's cool that I can make milk with the "machine!" He likes to try sometimes, too :)

He LOVES to read to Austin. He is so cute!

Some of his funny sayings as of late:

"Mommy, I made a 'bless you' thing!"--meaning he sneezed!
"Daddy at school?"--He asks this every morning
"Hurry, Hurry! Get that gumball!"--For Christmas, Christian's brother sent us a gumball machine that actually takes money. If Tyson ever finds money on the sidewalk, this is what he says as he rushes for home!
"I happy now!" He is sent to his room whenever he throws tantrums and is allowed to come out when he's happy. However, when we put him to bed, he often shouts this out even though he's not in trouble!
"There's a bug in there!" He says this if he has an itch in his ear, eye, under his shirt...anywhere!
"Feed me! Feed me!" He chants this whenever Austin is crying :)
"I don't like it!" He says this very definitively every time he is offered something new to eat...before and after he tries it! Yesterday he was offered unlimited goldfish crackers, juice, and cookies if he would take just one bite of soup. After many tears and about fifteen minutes, he tried a bite with a goldfish on top of the spoon. He didn't like it. He doesn't like many things!

He is getting so big! He recognizes Jesus in pictures, loves to sing (Santa rap is his all time favorite!), goes crazy for leapfrog movies as well as winnie the pooh, reads, plays on his own very well but LOVES to play with friends, and even has a fake laugh that he uses all the time! We love our Tyson-buddy! He is such a blessing to us!

The Articles of Faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

A Beautiful Quote

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." Marjorie Pay Hinckley
