In August, this most
special little boy in our family had a birthday and turned 8! He had a
great birthday full of putting together Lego sets he got for his
presents, eating cake and just hangin out with mom and dad and Darrell.
Boring I know but we were saving his get together for September when
family would all be here for his baptism. Just a little about Tad, I am
so so so grateful he is a part of our family. He was a surprise baby, a
good surprise. When he was born, he had dark hair from his eyebrows to
his hair line, everyone that saw him said, "Oh he looks like a little
baby monkey." ha ha ha lucky for him, I love monkeys and think they are
the cutest things on the earth! After about a month, the fuzz was gone
from his face and the most beautiful hazel eyes were all anyone could
see. I only joke about him looking like a monkey because he thinks it is
so funny. He has always been a very shy very quiet boy that just
giggles when a stranger talks to him but once he gets to know you, you
find out he has a very wild and silly and crazy personality. He is smart
and thoughtful of others. He hates to make others sad, he tries hard to
be nice to everyone. Since he was little tiny, he has always had a pen
and a paper, doodling and has really developed a talent for art. He
loves to draw any free second he gets. He LOVES animals. We have two new
puppies and he loves to spend as much time as he can outside playing
with them. He is very smart and great at math and games on his kindle.
If I would let him, he would be glued to it all day long. He is good at
figuring problems out. He is a thinker, Joe plays chess with the boys at
night and Tad very strategically and carefully plans his moves, Joe has
lost more than a few times to him. He has a sweet loving spirit and a
good strong testimony in the gospel. He loves watching the living
scriptures videos and learning the stories from the scriptures. He is my
snuggle bug, I love that most of all. He is always coming up and giving
me hugs randomly throughout the day and telling me how much he loves
me. I am so so proud of him and the decision he made to be baptized and I
am so very grateful he is a part of our family and that Heavenly Father
has trusted us to care for one of his choice spirits!!!
WE LOVE YOU FOREVER BOOGS!
