The BEST day EVER!!!

This boy is so sweet and so special to us! He has anxiously been waiting for this day for a long time. Talk about a boy who is ready for the commitments he will make this day. I have to share with you our experience we had the night of his bishop interview...I drove him to the church and we were chatting about what he might ask and Dylan was very somber and quiet, I asked if he was nervous? "A little" So I asked him if he would like to say a prayer before we went in and ask the spirit to be with him? A quick reply "yes, but will you say it, I cant talk" It was sweet and simple, and as I said amen.....Dylan was a mess! His tender heart was overflowing with emotion. He is so close to the spirit and so SWeET!!!!

This boy wants so badly to choose the right and to please everyone. I've never seen a boy so spiritually emotional at such a young age. He understands the gospel and has such a strong testimony of the plan. There is no question in my mind that he's not ready for this days, and that he knows and understands the choices he is making today.

Dylan got to spend this day with his cousin Calli who was baptised today also. They both had sooo many people there that love and support them, ones they can look to for examples and guidance.
Kaden was definitely the proud brother, he couldn't stop hugging Dylan! So sweet to have a brother that loves you soo much!!




What a day to be proud of these two! I love you both so very much and am so proud to be the mom today. It's such an important day for you Dylan, you are just glowing and I am so excited to see you learn and grow in the gospel. Stay close to your Heavenly Father and stay close to your family. Build your faith and testimony, and choose good friends that will help you continue to make right choices. I promise that as you do these things you will find the purest joy and happiness!!!! Your tears today are a testament that what you are choosing to do in your life is right. You know the spirit, continue to listen to it as you grow, follow the promptings and you will never be led astray.

I LOVE YOU! Mom

He truly is a good boy. Cody has really enjoyed getting to know him and loves being around him. You are lucky to have such a good kiddo. Good kiddos usually have good moms and dads. What a special post.
