Today Ricky is 9 years old.
I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. We were so excited to be having a boy. Knowing that this might be the last baby, and having two girls, we were excited to be blessed with this wonderful baby boy.
Ricky is such a great kid. He is thoughtful and kind. He is strong. He knows that his Heavenly Father loves him. He is a great brother and friend. We are so blessed to have him in our family. We enjoy his enthusiasm for life. Every day is wonderful in his eyes, and even the simple things are exciting to him. He loves to make all things a fun game. He smiles all the time and we can't help but smile with him.
Yesterday we had a party for him with 7 of his good buddies. Of course he wanted it to be a football party. So I went to Oriental Trading company (love it) and we found a couple of games to start the party off with. Then we had a good old fashioned two hand touch football game in our backyard. It was a really great time. This morning he is up early putting together a lego gift he got from his friends (who are brothers) Dallin and Chris Bunker. He can't wait to go shopping and spend the money Grandma Susie sent him.
He is truly spoiled. But what really was special to him was how much everyone around him cared about him. He was so excited to read Grandma's card. It was a Looney Tunes card and he loved that. He read the words inside and smiled so big. He feels so loved by those around him, and I thank you for being such an import part in his life.
We love you Ricky!
Nobody else like him, he's unique - - this one. How fortunate we are that he is our son.
