~~Brant's Birthday~~

I can't believe my 4lb premature baby is twelve!! Last week he was ordained a Deacon and today he had the opportunity to pass the sacrament for the first time! I love Brant so much and feel so blessed to have him as our oldest son!! I'm thankful for his kind, tender loving heart and love his spunk and humor!!

It has become tradition for Tyler to give Brant's the funniest cards ever! Here's a peak at the card Brant got from him this year!
Gifts galore! Brant was so excited and thankful for all the gifts his friends (and parents) gave him!! With all of his money and gift cards that he got, he bought DJ Hero for the wii.
