Happy 7th Birthday Zach!!!

So I am late in blogging this since I returned home this morning from girl's camp and had to bake Zach's cake and get ready for his bday party, but I just wanted him to know how much we love him. Words can't express the joy and sadness, all in one, when watching your child grow up. I think back to the day he was born. Of how excited and nervous we were!

And now.... I think we are still excited and nervous about the next 11 years of his life. When he grows into a young man and prepares himself for his future. It's crazy how fast it really goes! And I just know Zach will do it right! I just know it. He has every type of emotion coursing through his veins. And I just know that he will feel the power of the Spirit more than anything. I don't hope for that. I have faith that it will come to pass because that's who Zach is. He will, of course, make mistakes! But he will always know what is the most important thing and come back to it. It's innate in him.

As a parent of a young boy, we have had many dreams for him. But the most important dream of all, is for him to have what we have. And that is an eternal family and testimony of our Savior. It's just so simple and basic. And IT brings the most joy and happiness. 7 years is just a blink in the great timeline of life! But oh how I have cherished every moment my sweet Zachary. Mom and Dad love you SO much! We are so very honored you chose us to be your parents! HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY BABY!
