Tommy's 12th Birthday

Tommy's 12th Birthday

August 5, 2012

Twelve years ago, Tommy turned our family of two into a family of three.  Thankfully, our lives have never been the same.  We are extremely grateful for his spirit in our home.

In addition to turning 12 today, Tommy was ordained to the office of a deacon.  Tommy pointed out that he was ordained a deacon a few minutes before he actually turned 12.  He was born at 3:34 p.m. on August 5th and he was ordained a deacon a little after 3:00 p.m.  He thought it was pretty cool that he didn't have to wait until he was "12."

The whole family - Sammy, Sarah, Jim, Jenny, Sammy, Tommy

Although he has been waiting several months to turn 12.  All of his friends have already been 12 for several months, so he was happy to finally join the ranks.

In honor of turning 12 and joining the ranks of the Boy Scouts, Tommy recieved a hiking backpack, compact sleeping bag, and a mess kit for his birthday (he kept wondering when he was going to get basketball cards; not this year).  He did get NBA 2K12, which he was kind of excited about (I think).

Rusty was hoping someone would drop something.
