Tyism

Im going to wear you all out with these. But I want to remember them.

Ty was getting in the tub and he said "Mom, I eat a lot of meat, dont I?"

I said, "I guess you do, why?"

"Well, I eat a lot of meat and I still don't have any meat on these bones."

He's right. He has no meat on his bones. Skinny boy!

Ty-isms

I used to do a lot of Brinley-isms with the cute things Brinley would always say to me. Now its Ty saying the cute things...so I'm going to have to start doing Ty-isms. Let me just say Ty is good for the soul. He always says the nicest things to me and in the cutest little voice. Here are two of his recents;

"Mom, I feel such comfort when you are around."

Last night he was coloring a picture and I was folding laundry. He looked up and said "Mom, you are a queen to me."

I don't think I could love this boy any more!

Ty's New Glasses

We picked up Ty's new glasses today and he is loving them! He had a hard time for about 30 minutes walking around. He said it felt like he was walking off cliffs. He was walking very carefully with small steps. But now he is doing just fine with them. I thought they would be hard to keep on his face but he doesnt seem to mind one bit. He kept looking over his glasses and then through his glasses saying... "Why is everything so blurry without my glasses?" I think they might be working!!

I belong

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in speaking of the divinity of The Book of Mormon said: For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.” I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. I ask that my testimony of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies, given today under my own oath and office, be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven. I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
