What's In A Name?

"Strippling Warriors"...as they are called. (Not only in Basketball and Soccer, but in general!)

I look at these young men and count my blessing each day that they choose to support one another in doing what THEY know to be right.

These are young men who are true at all times in whatsoever thing they are entrusted. They are young men of truth, for they have been taught to keep the commandments of God and to walk uprightly before Him.

They are are future...future missionaries, husbands, fathers, leaders...but most importantly...son's a Heavenly Father. They honor and uphold their priesthood and strive to follow the iron rod.

I love having them in my home in my son's life...in my life, and I am loving watching them grow.

New Favorites

Some of our NEW FAVORITE colleges...

Thanks Granddad!!

Quick Catch Up...

Always a +PLUS+ to have O in the car when we need to "fill up". He is happy to pump AND enjoys taking a little whiff for himself!

Perhaps that "WHIFF" wasn't so smart after all...that night, Christmas Eve, he lost his first tooth!!We had a great night. Aunt Natalie made us all some "Santa Staches" to enjoy!!

Nothing quite brings in the New Year like nine 13 year old boys!! It was a night filled with Rock Band, pick up lines and lots of fireworks!
My life has been blessed this year. As my boys get older I find that I am enjoying them more and more. I love to see them grow and think things through (for the most part). They each have such wonderful friends that help them stay strong in the gospel and continue to choose the right. I feel blessed to live where we do and have the friends that we have. I am thankful to a Father in Heaven who loves me and finds me worthy to have 5 great men in my life. I now look forward to a year of more seminary, High School, Junior High, double digest, and, well let's be honest, the hopes that O makes it to 7!! :D

Happy New Year!

Love,
