10 years!

Tyler has been my buddy since he was born in Alabama while Marshall was working all day and going to night school. We have spent so many years having fun together and I can hardly believe that he turned 10 yesterday. He is such a great person to be around. He is always the life of the party and kind to everyone. I am a proud mom.

Grandma gave him this mini racer and he is having the time of his life (and so am I). It goes about 10 mph and he feels like that is fast. He is feeling the freedom. Tyler asked me if it feels like that to drive a car. I said far from it! His toy is much better!

The Nickel family before the baptism. Hannah was so excited to wear sponge curlers to bed the night before. Her hair is so straight and she loved to have "princess hair" for the day.



Hannah felt like she was in heaven with all of the happy, positive things around her. Her grandpa happens to be our bishop so he was able to interview her for baptism and that was sweet. He said that she knew all of the answers, which pleased me! Tyler, her big brother, gave a short talk that was wonderful. He is such a great speaker and so comfortable in front of a crowd. Her grandma, Alexis, also spoke and shared a great testimony.

I am so proud of my sweet Hannah!

Hannah Banana is Eight!

Hannah woke up today with a huge smile on her face. She is not a morning person, but when it is a special day she can't help but wake up happy. Dad was already gone to work, but left a sweet letter for her on the kitchen table. She loved her berries and cream for breakfast. I also made waffles, but only Tyler and Samantha wanted them.



After Hannah opened her presents and it was almost time to leave for school Tyler pulled her in his room for his "gift" to her. He had the radio on and did a crazy dance for her. He is turning 10 this month and even though it wasn't much, I was glad he thought about her, even if it was just planned 1 minute before!

Hannah's baptism is this Sunday and she can't wait. I will post pictures that night, hopefully.
