Happy Birthday Will!!!




This weekend our little Will turned eight! It is so hard to believe that he is already that old. It just seems like yesterday he was born. I still remember that day and how excited we were to welcome our first child into this world.

We had a great day, which started very early with a 7:30 a.m. baseball game. We had a great time just spending the day with our little family. We took him out to lunch, Mark took Will and Ben to a movie, and we went to dinner at Bonsai Steakhouse with Mark's parents. After dinner, we had everyone over for cake and ice cream.

Today we had his baptism interview with the Bishop and he passed! So, he'll be baptized on Saturday, May 3rd. He was so cute during his interview. He did such a great job answering all of the questions the Bishop asked.

Will is such a great son and a joy to be around. He is extremely bright - always straight A's on his report cards and reading well above grade level. He is such a teaser and loves to make everyone laugh/cry. He is my early riser, and often wakes me up with his humming. He is very active and always has been. He was such a busy baby and toddler that I couldn't keep up with him. He is very social and loves his friends very much. He is so tender and has such a sweet spirit, he is so affectionate! He is such a great helper and is very obedient. We love him very, very much and are so glad that he is ours.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL!!!

Will throughout the years...










I can't believe how handsome and big he's gotten. I'm having a great time looking through old pictures. I just need to scan the earlier pictures to my hard drive....someday!

Happy Birthday Will.
His curly hair is so cute. Where did that come from?

Mark and I both have natural curly hair. Mine has gotten more curly with each pregnancy. Poor Ben, he didn't get any!
