Birthday Boy!

Liam,

Words can't express the love I have for you. You bring nothing but pure joy to not only me but anyone you are with. You are full of life, smiles, and love. You are so creative and nothing makes you happier then to be with those you love. I love our conversations. I love seeing what you have made out of lego's. I love seeing the MANY I love you signs you hang up around the house. I love seeing you play with your sisters. I love how hard you belly laugh at your baby sister Londyn. I love how you will talk to anyone with a smile on your face. I love seeing whatever costume you change into through out the day. It can be a ninja, pirate, batman, spiderman... really anything boy. I love how easy going you are.  I love being your mom and feel beyond blessed to have you as a son. Some of my favorite memories of you this past year are:

You spell everything you are trying to say instead of saying the word

When you see me pull up at school you smile huge and wave.

Your baby voice to Londyn

How you include Layla on your many adventures

How much you love your Grandparents

Your many drawings and cards to everyone you love

The tornado that follows wherever you have been.

Your imagination

How much faith you have anytime we talk about something spiritual

How you love trying new food

You love eating healthy

How you love wearing your orange plaid shorts.  

How you say every day is the best day ever

The list could go on and on. Liam you mean the world to me. You are my best little buddy. I admire so much about you and words can't express the gratitude I have for having the privilege of calling you my son.

Love,

Mom

(I just read Liam my note, he said, "Mom this is really the best note ever. How can ever thank you for being the best Mom in the wrold (world) I just need you to change one thing, put big buddy instead of little buddy")

Always has a smile

Where has time gone. I have to remind myself Liam has grown up from that sweet baby I spent every second of every day with. I would hold him as a baby and I just knew what a special little spirit he has. He is beyond happy, he loves people, he is smart, he is so creative, he has freckles, and it is impossible to wipe that smile off his face. His favorite things are family and lego's. He is constantly setting things up. Yesterday he set up a birthday party. I am not who it was for. Right now it is a store. Full of all the pictures and goodies my Uncle put together for him from Africa. You always know where Liam has been because he has put together some sort of setting for everyone to enjoy. Messy? Yes very. Cute? Beyond adorable. It will be something I always remember about him.
We started out his Birthday by handing out a prize to his classmates. Then on his Birthday morning we had Grandpa and Grandma over to open presents. We then got the boys (Austin Liam's best friend) together for their party. They both have the same birthday and there family is some of our dearest friends. It works out great. They celebrate together! We all went to Provo Beach resort then out for dinner and doughnuts (instead of cake). It couldn't of gone better. Happy Birthday Boys!
