Skyler's 9th Birthday

We had a little boy who couldn't sleep in anticipation for the day, yet he still managed to stay awake for it all.

Skyler opened his gifts before going to school.

Thank to one of the Judges in our district we where able to give Skyler tickets to the Jazz game on his birthday for Christmas. We sat in section 11, row 9, seats 1 & 2! It is so cool! The game was super entertaining too! We had heard that if you get there right as the doors open, you are allowed to go right down to the floor seats and sometimes the players will sign a few autographs. Well, Skyler was all for that. We got there at 5:15 and waited for the doors to open at 5:30. Skyler was able to get the signatures of Coach Sloan, Big Al, Hayward, and one other player (sorry, I don't know all the newbies). He was a little sad that D'Will wasn't out but recovered quickly.

We where able to go right down on the floor and take a few pictures.

Skyler's only complaint for the day was that he didn't get one of the "freebies" that they throw out. I tried to explain the sheer number of people and I think by the end he got it. We had a great night.

And today after a long day at Snowbird skiing, Skyler came home and we had a nice family dinner with cake and ice cream!



I still can't believe how fast time is flying with Skyler, but it is. I am having to get used to it fast! We just keep praying that he is headed in the right direction and will fulfill all that Heavenly Father has in store for him! Another thing that he is so excited about, he is so happy to be in the Bear Den in cub scouts!! I am just thankful for the program. It really keeps these young boys happy!
