Aiden turns 8 on Halloween

Can't believe our baby is turning 8 tomorrow. I am a firm believer that the Lord sends us our children in the order they come for a reason:) Aiden has brought so much love and excitement to our home. Here are some things that I enjoy watching Aiden do and that make him unique:
He is such a hard worker - loves to mow the lawn...pay his tithing...wrestle with Tanner...make us laugh when we are suppose to be serious...loves science...enjoys attending his brothers games and knows all their teamates by number...he is good at packing his"own" suitcase when we go places. he is a happy boy and waves at people everywhere we go. Last week my parents called from the Phillipines. It was the first time we had talked since they left...Aiden wanted to talk to his grandpa - on the other end of the phone I could tell my dad was trying not to tear up and cry...I love these moments...maybe it was Sunday after the Children's Sacrament program when I heard that cute little voice singing those songs that tell us why we are here..where we are going and remember to make good choices and listen to the spirit :) I am so glad our Father in Heaven sent this special spirit to our home. I am so glad I get to be your mom and enjoy the monents this earthly life gives us:) Love ya, Bud!!

Here are a few pics of Aiden's football team this year. His team won the championship in their age group. He is so fun to watch. It has been a few years since we had a 2nd grader play football..he is competitive and sometimes tackles people when he is only suppose to pull their flag:)

Championship TEAM!!!!

No more pictures MOM!!

Kadin is due anyday - Aiden is hoping she will have her baby boy on Halloween!!!

He is still very special to us and we are thrilled and proud of the boy he is today. Wish so bad that him and Patchy could be 2nd graders together.

Love ya all to pieces!; November 2, 2012 at 2:40 PM

OUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parents need to "play offense" - to capitalize on the impressionable years of childhood by instilling in their sons the antecedents of character. Their assignment during two brief decades will be to trasform their boys from immature and flighty youngsters into honest, caring men who will be respectful of women, loyal and faithful in marriage, keepers of commitments, strong and decisive leaders, good workers, and secure. And of course, the ultimate goal for people of faithis to give each child understanding of scripture and a lifelong passion of Jesus Christ. This is, I believe. the most important responsibility for those of us who have been entrusted with the careand Nurturance of children.

Christmas In Elma!!

We left for WA the 13th of December - I barely made it to Seattle to hand the kids over to my Dad and catch a flight to Atlanta where I would join Trav for his company Christmas Party the next day. Trav and I had a fun get away and were able to do a little Christmas shopping. We stayed Thursday, Friday and Saturday and flew back to Seattle Sunday morning where we stayed until January 3rd - We were able to catch a Elma Boys Basketball game. The boys thought it was really cool looking at all the family(uncles & aunts) names on the walls before you entered the Gym doors. Michael and I went and Chatted with Coach Nadau one afternoon. It was so fun spending time with family and friends
