TWELVE

Twelve is a big deal around these parts!  For the girls it was entering young woman's at church and wearing makeup BUT for Tyson it's entering young men's (which means TONS of camp outs), wearing a suit AND getting the priesthood (which also means passing the sacrament!!).  Exciting times for our one and only boy.

This is how we celebrated:

Tyson's party started as a corn maze, but when the weather showed rain I quickly bought tickets for the pool..which I think was more fun...and of course the weather was great--darn PNW.

Tyson didn't know any of these boys but one before our move this summer, but you would never know it.  Such a fun bunch of boys who accepted Tyson into their group--just makes my heart happy.


I bought those red candles before I decided to put the Reece's Pieces on the cake...and they look pink in the picture anyways--blah.


The cake was delicious despite it's lack of flare;)  I did a vanilla custard filling and butter cream frosting--yum!


We were also lucky enough to head up to Canada for Tyson's actual birthday.  We had a party with pizza and cake at Lisa's and he got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa and cousins.  I don't think he could have asked for a better birthday.


Then the following Sunday was the special day when his dad conferred the Aaronic priesthood on him and ordained him to be a Deacon.  Next week he'll pass the sacrament...can't believe how fast it all goes.  I have loved (just about) every minute of being this kids mom.  He is loving, kind, fun, helpful, smart, funny and just such a great kid.  Happy Birthday Tyson!!

So nice that we could be part of Tyson’s birthday this year—especially since it was such a big one! He is such a great kid, and we are excited for all that the next few years will bring for him.
