A GREAT WEEK!!!

We have enjoyed this past few days. Wednesday evening several of Logan's teachers and friends came over to share his ordination. The following evening Logan, Dad and I went with the youth to do baptisms. It was great to be there together. It was the 1st time for 3 of our youth. We had one young lady who is a friend of one of the girls who came and waited outside while we were in the temple. I had about 30 min to visit one on one with her and answer questions. The Y.W. had a slumber party afterwards at the Sparks. We watched the Trek DVD. from there trek this summer. What a great, hard, growing experience that was. All of the girls who participated said they would do it again in a heartbeat. It was a very nice evening!!!

IT WAS GREAT!!!

The Birthday /Slumber party was great!!!! The slumbering part was only about 4 hours of it, but it was still great. The four best friends Logan, Preston, Andrew and James had one last hoorah before school starts next week. They played Wii games and ate pizza and ice cream cake. There were pillow fights and Byakugan tournaments.
I loved watching these boys enjoy life, knowing that the childhood games and innocence wouldn't last much longer. I took a few minutes to talk with them, telling them that I appreciate the good friends that they are. They are bright and fun and come from families that want the best for them. I encouraged them to seek good thing in their lives and to avoid those things that would hurt them. I hope that I got my message across without sounding preachy. They are entering a whole new school situation this next year. They are going to have to be strong and support each other.
I love my family and want them to be happy. I know they are and that they can be by making good choices in their lives.

OK This is my second attempt at "Blogging"

Tonight we are gearing up for the "Big 12". We have a Big Bash planned with the usual "hoodlums", A long noisy night, lots of squealing and rough housing. Mom will be lots of fun to be around by about 1100 PM. (Logan states that I will not even be awake) LOL!!!!
I think that we are headed into the attitude years. I am getting more and more glimpses of the future terrible teenage years (sort of like the terrible twos but stinkier).
I hope the cards are in the mail. So we can open them at the party!!!! Nothing pink please!!!!

Happy 1 yr anniversary Cam and Kim. We love you!!!!

PARTY PARTY PARTY!!!!!
