It's all about Travis...

Today has been a very special day in the Squire family.  If I think about it this whole past week has been a very special and big week.  My second oldest Travis turned 16 on the 14th of November.   To celebrate we ( the whole family) woke him up at 5:00 am to take him to breakfast.  As much as Lynn thought Travis would be upset I knew better.  I knew this is something Travis would love and love he did.  We were the only people in IHOP that morning.  We made Travis a great hat it read "King of 16", and King he was.  Afterwards he went to school and we had a great dinner all planned for the evening.  Now this was just the beginning of Travis' great big 16th birthday we still of days of greatness planned out.  This past Saturday we had his birthday party. It's really no fun planning out a boys 16th birthday but I managed to do it and do it well I'm guessing from the non stop talk about it with him and his friends.  It was go carting and FastKarts in salt lake city, it came with pizza and all you can drink soda, a teenage boys dream. Within 2 days of Travis turning 16 he was asked out to Sadie's and already has another date planned for this coming Tuesday.  All this dating and Travis really doesn't want to date, but he is a good young man and doesn't tell the young woman no. I knew this day was coming, I knew the girls were just waiting for Trav to turn 16.  Well that brings us to what went on today.  Before I tell you all, I'm sure everyone is dying to hear.  Trav has always been an amazing person.  When he was born he was so happy by the time he was 2 weeks old he was smiling, not just baby gas bubble smile, but smile at mom because she is talking to me smile.  He has always been happy.  He is an amazing leader and has always been so.  Everywhere Trav has been he makes friends, invites them to church, he has been a great deacon and teacher president, he takes his priesthood duty very serious.  He can make me so happy and laugh so hard with his little ways of saying and doing things.  Lets just say it's been hard the past 16 years to be mad at Trav.  Today Travis was ordained a priest. I cant believe I have 2 sons that are priests.  To make it even more special Josh was able to stand in the circle as his little brother was ordained.  Yes, right now I'm in tears, comes with being a mom.  Josh felt the spirit he was in tears when everything was done.  Travis I love you, you are such an amazing person and leader your love of the gospel and knowledge and wanting to obey your Heavenly Father puts me in awe of you everyday.  Son, I love you....
