Birthday Boy


Dear Layton,
It's hard for me to believe that you are turning 8 years old! It seems like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms and cuddling my brand-new baby boy. What a blessing you have been to our family. I always tell everyone, if there was ever a boy that was perfect for having 3 sisters, you would be it. You are so good to them. And they love you. I smiled this morning when Kate came in all ready for church and said "Look at me, Layton", and you responded with a smile on your face, "Ooooh. Pretty Kate." I am grateful for your tender heart and concern for others. You are and have always been my buddy. I love it when you come up behind me in the kitchen and give me a hug for no reason at all. I love that I can always count on you to do the right thing. I am proud of your decision to be baptized in a few weeks and can hardly wait for the day to come. I hope you have a wonderful 8th birthday and I hope you know how blessed we feel to have you in our family!


Love.This.Kid.
