The Marines...and...BIG TOM...

My Tommy Boy is joining the Marines. He took his test on the 4th and was sworn in on the 5th at 10am. I can't believe my lil tommy is growing up so fast. I figured I'd post some pics so y'all can remember the Marine man as I remember him. He was always the cutest little boy. Friendly, outgoing, loving, etc. Everybody loved him, not only for his size, but for his personality as well! All of his buddies loved him just as much as all of the girls loved him. Whenever you would ask him which girls are after him this week, he would always say, "I don't know!" It was so funny though cuz when you would see him at school there were always a group of girls right by his side. But nobody loves him as much as his family. He was a great brother, son, grandson, etc. You will see a picture below, where he shaved his head completely down to the skin, where he kinda looks like a cone head lol, but he did it with a good heart. He figured if his Grandma had to get her shaved,(due to her cancer, chunks of hair were falling out) then he would shave his too so Grandma wouldn't be alone. You'll also see the pictures of him when he is all ready to go get his Patriarchal Blessing! He was so excited! Look how tiny he is in that pic, he's a lot shorter than my mom, then while Rob was on his mission, Tom grew to be taller than me. He was so excited that he finally grew a few inches lol.

Oh and the picture with his hair straight up...well that's what he let me do to him. It's jello in his hair that makes it stay like that. It was sweet, you have to admit. Anyways, my point is, I just wanted to post some pics so you could keep the same image in your head as I will always have of him. He might be a Marine Man, but he's still my innocent little brother!!!

WE LOVE YOU TOMMY BOY!!! WE WISH YOU THE BEST THROUGH YOUR GREAT JOURNEY! WE WILL MISS YOU AS OUR LITTLE TOMMY, BUT WE WILL LOVE YOU JUST THE SAME AS OUR MARINE MAN!!!
