Twelve years old

I can't believe that I have a 12 year old. Kamryn had a birthday a couple of weeks ago and is now 12. It all seems so crazy to me. It seems like just yesterday that I became a mother. Now I am the mother of a young man who holds the priesthood. It was really neat as he received the priesthood and then to watch him pass the sacrament for the first time on Easter Sunday.  It may make me feel a little old, but I couldn't be more proud of Kamryn. He is a great son and I am glad to be his mom. 

We had a birthday party at our house for all our family. It was complete with one of Melanie's amazing cakes. Here Kamryn poses with his ipod touch cake. He loved it! It amazingly had many of the same aps that Kamryn has. 

 Here is a  close-up of the detail on the aps. 

 And here is even more of a close-up of the Angry Birds ap. Melanie is just amazing.

 Here is a picture of Kamryn modeling his new helmet and riding pants.

 And here he is with no arms! How is he going to ride his motorcycle now?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAMRYN!

March

Here it is the end of April and I didn't even blog about anything that happened in March. I didn't take many pictures, and I don't write everything on my calendar, so I'm sure that I will miss something. I started the month of March off with a girls weekend with my mom and sisters. It is always a good time when I get together with my mom and sisters.  We stayed at mom's house and went through old pictures. It was a lot of fun to reminisce about our younger years. I also did some reminiscing about my grandma last month as I prepared a talk for our Relief Society activity. I was asked to talk about what I had learned from my mother and grandmother. It was fun to think back as I prepared my talk. Not so fun to give the talk, but fun to prepare it. 

In March we also went on a field trip to the dinosaur museum with Sadie's preschool class. These are about the only pictures that I took this month.  Do you see how she is quite outnumbered. For most of the year in preschool she was the only girl with 5 boys. One of the boys dropped out so we did add another girl for the last couple of months, but she missed the museum field trip. Good thing Sadie likes the boys. She has done just fine with all those boys. They've needed her to keep them in line. It's been a really fun preschool. Sadie loves it and wants to go everyday. 

Wyatt was able to go to the OMD concert in March. He went with two of his high school buddies, Chase and Aaron. Wyatt said that as he stood in line waiting to get into the concert, he looked around and wondered where all the young people were. How come everyone was older? Then he had the realization that he was just as old as most of the other people there. I think it is funny how this happens. We watch the people around us age, but we don't really realize that we are aging too. Well, there was March in a nutshell. April has been much busier, I guess I better get busy blogging about it.
