<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We spent most of the month at Cornbelly's! Its right by our house so we decided to get "season" passes. It was totally worth it. We loved running over anytime we had a spare minute and got to go with several different people. (I have a million pictures but they are having a hard time loading correctly!)</span><br />

He is in the Ladybug class that goes Tuesdays and Thursdays. So far he loves it and is really proud of the fact that he is in preschool and is a "big boy" now! I asked him "before school" questions this year for the first time and his answers were so cute! His favorite color is blue, he wants to be a football player when he grows up (I think that is heavily influenced by his brother), and his favorite things are playing with his brother and his friends. His color/shape is the Brown Pentagon... So cute!</span></b><br />

It's been a little bit of an adjustment to all-day school, he's a trooper and has done just fine. He chose to be an "early bird" at school - meaning he goes from 7:55-2:15. I had serious doubts about it, but he has handled it like a champ - he gets up without complaining and is always on time. The early schedule allows Jeff to take him a good portion of the time, too, which is fun for both of them. I love asking the boys questions before the year starts to hear their answers. Landon said he wants to be a football player when he grows up, his favorite color is red (no surprise there), and that his favorite things are playing outside, his friends and playing Madden (football video game).</span></b><br />

Apparently we were having so much fun I forgot to blog about it! June brought the start of some major changes in our family. In early June I quit my job ... with a company I've been with for almost 9 years. I've taken something else - but for much less time each week and completely from home. I struggle with change, but I've been ready for a while, so I'm very excited. I'm officially done and settled into my new role and it's been a great change overall for our family. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My cousin got married this June in St. George. We went down for the celebration - it was so fun! I also love the boys seeing good examples of getting married in the temple. It was such a fun weekend spent with family, friends and dancing!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">June also brought Girl's Camp! I was asked to be the Camp Director this year. I haven't ever done it, and I HATE to camp so I was really, really concerned. The planning and organizing were super stressful, but once we got there it was so much fun! Jeff came up to be priesthood for us, and really enjoyed it also. It was such a beautiful place, and I'm so grateful for what I learned along the way. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The rest of our month was spent swimming, playing and just having fun! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In July we went to Turks & Caicos! What an amazing and beautiful place. The beach is exactly what I picture when I think of "paradise" - it's shallow, with hardly any waves and beautiful white sand beaches. The boys fell in love with snorkeling! It was SO cute to watch them - they were seriously little fish out there. While Jeff and the boys were busy snorkeling I enjoyed reading on the beach - it was heavenly! The boys also could have spent every waking hour in the beach house pool. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We also went to a local fish fry, walked around town and went to Iguana Island. The very best part of the trip (other than all the time together) was Parasailing! We took the boys us with us and it was AMAZING! Such a cool thing to do together, and a really amazing memory to share. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once we got back we tried to cram as much "summer" in as we possibly could - swimming, playing with friends and staying up late! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now school is back in session and football and soccer are in full swing! I'll blog about that soon, but for now here are some pictures of our amazing summer vacation!</span></b><br />

We're already more than a week into summer vacation and I'm looking back wondering where the time went. We LOVED kindergarten. What a cute, fun year! Landon thrived at the elementary school, and had the BEST teacher - Mrs. Rigby. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The last couple of weeks were full of fun days, like the 5K, Art Day, Science Day, etc. and our fave: the Teddy Bear Picnic. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then came Kindergarten Graduation! The first day of school was just yesterday, and here we are. We feel so lucky he had a great year, made good friends and had a great teacher. In his memory book he said he wants to grow up to be a construction worker because he has big muscles. He won the award for being the hardest worker. </span><br />

SIX! Every year I say the same thing ... I can't believe how old he's getting! Landon is such a great kid. He's smart (reading far above his grade, picks up things quickly, etc.), funny, dedicated and so stinking cute. We are so lucky to have him in our family. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Watching kids grow up is hard (why can't they stay little?!) but also so much fun. Most Fridays I volunteer in his class. I love watching what he does in class and seeing him interact with his friends. I have also been subbing in Primary lately and I love watching him from behind the piano. He tries so hard to be reverent and raises his hand for everything from giving answers to volunteering. He loves to be a helper and he's often doing his "big brother" role of picking up more than his share of the toys, taking charge, and being a great example to Liam (I love watching them together). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Landon is just a good kid at heart. And as he gets older we get to see glimpses of the man he will become. I love that we can already share jokes and find the same things funny. And I love how compassionate he is. And Jeff LOVES that he is </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">so into football right now! It's hilarious to see how dedicated he is - he can't wait to play, wears his jersey constantly, plays it on Madden any chance he's allowed, and is constantly challenging everyone to a game of football. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Turning six is a big deal - and we love birthdays! I took treats to his class along with grandma and James, then we went out to lunch. When Jeff got home we opened presents and had pizza. And watched Star Wars (one of his birthday presents). He was so excited ... and clapped at the end. So cute!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For his birthday party we decided we needed to have a football training camp. His favorite team is the Cardinals ... so we had a "Football Training Camp" party. It was so fun, and hilarious to watch the kiddos do "warm ups," play games and have pizza and root beer. Our "Mr. Social" had a pretty long guest list, but its great to see him have good friends and see them play together so well. </span><br />

So here are a few little anecdotes that have happened in the day-to-day lately.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our nephew Josh just got his mission call (to Australia!) a few days ago. Before he opened it I asked the boys where they thought he would go:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Landon: Washington, DC (this is where Landon was "called" on a mission at a Primary activity a couple of years ago, and he is still certain this is where he will serve! So sweet!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Liam: The North Pole (he gave this serious thought, and I love his innocence in believing wholeheartedly that this is an actual mission!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This week Landon is "Captain of the Ship" for his Kindergarten class. I love that his teacher (Mrs. Rigby) coordinated it with his birthday week. He could hardly contain his excitement! And filling out the answers, coloring the poster and choosing the pictures for it were an event. It was so fun to do together! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAaRSJoelZOx8gML2NeExD8JVW3hHsPPw-9gOqSb3zoBL9lLnAS7qip3XhHfFwEoEQxIgRdShfS_W9NTRImsZQEyppz1d_Fw-IrmaivMBoOZIoKgIDdUPEIjPcAnwbw5uv0VBh4dhgnTs/s1600/IMG_0868.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAaRSJoelZOx8gML2NeExD8JVW3hHsPPw-9gOqSb3zoBL9lLnAS7qip3XhHfFwEoEQxIgRdShfS_W9NTRImsZQEyppz1d_Fw-IrmaivMBoOZIoKgIDdUPEIjPcAnwbw5uv0VBh4dhgnTs/s320/IMG_0868.JPG" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then, just today I told the boys that uncle James just asked a girl to the Prom. They wanted to know what Prom is. I explained that it is a fun dance they take a date to, and get all dressed up and dance and hang out with their friends. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Landon (having heard the dress up and dance part) acted like this wasn't the coolest idea ever. I assured him that they would both attend their proms and that I am sure they will have a lot of fun with their friends. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then, Liam piped up from the back and said "I going to take my girlfriend Emery and I'm going to dress up like SPIDER-MAN! I will wear my mask, and then take it off to dance, then I'll put it back on!" </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Landon and I just burst out laughing! How could we not? So. Cute.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These two keep me on my toes, and provide the best comic relief!</span></div>

It's a month-long party around here. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Saturday we got to celebrate Jeff's birthday! I'll withhold his age to protect the innocent (but he was born in 1980 *cough, cough*). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We were able to attend a baptism of a dear friend's little girl first, and then we headed off to celebrate. We went to Boondocks and had Costa Vida for lunch. Then sent Jeff off to golf with friends. Then I whisked him away to dinner at Tsunami with different friends (who share the SAME birthday!) and home for cake and ice cream with the kiddos. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love celebrating the people I love! Jeff is an incredible husband, and father and we are so lucky to have him in our lives. He's the best partner in this crazy journey I could ask for ... he just gets me, he loves us unconditionally and gives so much of himself. Happy birthday babe!</span><br />

For those not familiar with it, basically it means I can't eat products with gluten in them - wheat, barley, whey ...etc. Which, doesn't sound like much until you realize everything they are in!<br />
<br />
To make a long story short, every doctor I ever met said that if I wasn't symptomatic then I didn't need to worry about it and I should just keep living my life like normal. I liked that answer so I went with it. Fast forward to 6 months or so ago. I was clearly becoming symptomatic. I was a bit in denial so I went the doctor and we still ran a LOT of tests to see if it could be anything else. No such luck. BUT we did discover that my gluten test came back so high it was <i>un-quantifiable</i>. Super exciting :)!<br />
<br />
In other words, Celiacs caught up with me. My GI doctor was upset that no other doctor thought to tell me the damage it was doing to my system ... and recommended a bone scan (and a lot of continual blood work ... good thing I don't mind needles!). It turns out when your body doesn't absorb nutrients you can end up with Osteopenia. Which, basically means my bones are less dense than they should be. Thankfully it isn't Osteoperosis (yet) but something I need to work on to keep away from that. Lots of vitamins and exercise (especially lifting weights!) in my future!<br />
<br />
I don't say all this to be negative, at all, actually the process has been a really good one, and I'm grateful to know where we need to go from here!<br />
<br />
Jeff, as always, has been incredibly supportive and jumped on board to help our family transition certain things to being gluten free for all of us (pasta, pancake mix), get my vitamins filled (lots of those!), and champion my eating changes. The kids have already started asking what is gluten free and are becoming more and more aware of what mommy can and can't eat. And I have so many family members and friends here to offer advice, buy me gluten free treats, one went GF with me for the first month, and in general be incredibly accommodating with restaurants we go out to with them, what they serve when we come over, etc.<br />
<br />
The change actually hasn't been as hard as I anticipated (in part because of the wonderful people in my life), and overall I feel so much better it's worth the extra expense and effort. Truthfully, there can be so many worse things that could be happening I'm really grateful. There can be more difficult "side effects" of Celiacs, but so far, I'm not dealing with those.<br />
<br />
And in general, life can be so, so much harder than just not eating gluten, taking vitamins and working out, so I have spent quite a bit of time reflecting on how much I have to be thankful for. Sometimes it takes looking at these things and realizing that blessings are all around us and this is no more than a blip on the radar of life!Jeff and Arihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11122023272196964327noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981508021628558622.post-40397213583618618812016-01-17T13:58:00.002-08:002016-01-18T19:39:43.285-08:00THREE!!<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Liam is officially three!

If you asked him a few days ago how old he was turning he promptly responded five. Because when you have a five year old brother you play with all the time, what else would you be doing other than turning the same age? They fight like brothers do, but this year have learned how much they love to play together and spend hours doing things just the two of them. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Liam is the funniest kid - he'll joke around with Jeff about the sports teams we like and tease that he likes a team we don't just to get a laugh (like the "stinky U's"), and he loves to play - everything is a game.

Liam is officially in his big kid bed. We might have drug our feet a little on this one since he has been asking since mid-summer when he can sleep in his "big kid bed." </span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My dad helped us hang wainscoting and the grey and orange decor we went with is perfect for Liam's personality. </span></b><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He's done a great job with the transition. He wandered just a bit at first - one night I found him climbing in to bed with Landon. I worried we might have a sleep walker on our hands, but when I asked him about it the next morning he said "yeah, you stopped me and carried me back to my bed!" Apparently he just wanted a snuggle! </span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>We went to Disney Land, California Adventure, the beach and Sea World. And while Jeff was at his conference the boys and I entertained ourselves at a local zoo, the park and the pool. It was so much fun! The family favorite was Disney Land and our favorite rides were the Buzz Lightyear Ride where we shot lasers at the bad guys, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Toon Town roller-coaster. At California Adventure we loved Cars Land and Bugs Land best of all (and mom and dad loved California Screamin'!).</b></span><br />

We decided we needed to celebrate in style and booked a 6 day trip to New York City. Six days. Away from our sweet boys, work ... and reality. Other than missing our boys, it was bliss! We did a little of everything - two Broadway shows (Wicked and Les Mes), a Yankee's game, biking and rowing in Central Park, the Highline park, walked along the Hudson, and took the Staten Island Ferry. We saw so much of the city - one day alone we clocked 15 miles! Pictures below (warning ... there are a LOT ... and mainly of us, it was an anniversary trip you know!)!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He LOVES his teacher, Mrs. Rigby, and is always coming home talking about his new friends and the adventures that elementary school seems to bring.

Up until recently I would have always described my tribe as just Jeff and the boys. And they are (oh how they are!). Jeff's gone on a business trip. A TEN DAY business trip. I understand that I'm wimpy when it comes to him being gone. Friends do this all the time, and I can't even describe my respect for our military and their families. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>But me? I'm a wimp. So having him gone is epic to me. </b></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And eye opening. We've never spent this long apart since being married (almost!) ten years ago. And frankly, I hope we don't again. But by the same merit I've learned a few things about my tribe: </b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>First off, Jeff does so much. There are days when I'm so busy counting up all the things I've done that I fail to see how much he takes care of. Quietly, with no fanfare. He hand washes the dishes that don't belong in the dishwasher (I mainly just hope they disappear), takes out the garbage, keeps the plants alive (because I can't), is an amazing sounding board for me, plays with the boys, does laundry, gets things going in the morning so I can go walking, and the list goes on and on. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>The nice thing is that with him away, I've had the opportunity to notice. And appreciate. I hope that I can do a better job of recognizing all the things he does to make our world go round.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I've also had some amazing time the little people in my tribe. As much as a part of me wanted to wish away these days and have Jeff home, I recognize that this is a unique opportunity to really have us bond. Just the three of us. Because someday, bonding with their mom might not be at the top of their priority list. We have dates planned (or done!), a movie night, we've gone on a bike ride, had friends over, and a few more things planned. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Tonight I just held them and rocked in our favorite chair after we read together. And it occurred to me I don't just hold them enough. It's been a busy summer, and past getting Landon's reading time in, I haven't just read <i>to </i>them. And rocked, and snuggled. We've done more of that these few days ... because I'm not rushing off for alone time with Jeff. Which, is also my favorite. But it's been nice to spend time with just them. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>And I've tried my hardest to let go of the little thing ... say yes more, relax, don't get so uptight, and laugh more than yell in order to make these days more pleasant. This is sometimes a challenge for me, and I'm a work in progress (tomorrow might be different!), but it's something I hope I can keep up. Because why wouldn't I want to? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>And lastly ... my tribe of friends who have surrounded me and buoyed me up. They have had us over for dinner, planned fun activities, picked kids up when I couldn't be in two places at once, called and texted to see how we are and if we need anything, and invited the kids over to play so I have have a little "me" time. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>And it's occurred to me. My tribe is an exclusive group, but man, are they amazing, strong, fierce women. They are my heroes. And it feels so good to know they are there to lift me up, catch me when I fall, call me out on my crap, and make me laugh. I hope I can give back to them just a little bit of what they have so generously given to me - and not just the last few days, but the last few years. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>While I am eager to have Jeff home - to complete our home again, I am grateful for this time to figure out who my tribe really is! (Now, come home babe!)</b></span><br />

We have to hold on to every moment we can and savor the times spent with those we love. It reminded me that I haven't blogged in ages (despite my commitment to myself to do more of it). I want to cherish the moments ... and not just the huge events, but the little things that as parents might fade into the background as our kids get older and move on to bigger things.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>A few weeks ago I moved from full time work, back to part time. It might seem like a crazy move for the career driven. And a part of me has to fight against that side of me all the time - I like to work. But I just knew, in the deepest part of my heart, that I needed and wanted to be home more. And home more I am! </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>It's been wonderful, and I'm trying to cram five days of adventures (mid-week) into three, which is a bit crazy sometimes, but it's been super fun. And I love them, so it's worth every moment. And Jeff has been wonderfully supportive and has also noticed a distinct difference in both the boys and myself with our new arrangement. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>On to the updates!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Landon:</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He is turning into quite the little reader! A family friend gave us all the books from her old classroom and he spends so much time reading them - I love it!</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He's such a good example to me. When he heard that our neighborhood friend was living in heaven now, he lit up and said how happy he was that someone would be living with Heavenly Father again. Such an eternal perspective!</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He loves his bike and playing with his friends - I love watching them interact. Sometimes there are issues (as there are with children), but I'm so proud when they can work it out by themselves (most of the time).</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">His favorite shorts are his cammo ones ... if he could wear them every day he would! He puts together some really interesting outfit combos :)</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">His favorite things to do: swim, play with friends, play the xbox, go to Boondocks, and watch Power Rangers and Spy Kids.</span></b></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>He played t-ball (and Jeff coached!) and liked it ok. He was a good little hitter, but overall found it to be a little boring. The verdict is out on playing again.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He decided a little over a month ago that he was done with diapers and ready to wear big kid unders! I so wasn't ready (potty trained kids are awesome ... but newly potty trained kids are a lot of work!), but he was and he has ROCKED it! </span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He was supposed to get his tonsils out (snoring/apnea issues) but I had the worst feeling about it.

I'm so grateful for the Spirit and the ability to receive inspiration for our children</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He is talking in full paragraphs now - the things that come out of his little person are just hilarious!</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">His prayers are the sweetest - he blesses everyone (and everything!) he knows, including Jesus and Heavenly Father. I've never thought to pray for Them, but he does and it's the cutest.</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He's really good at bugging his brother (an expert if you will) but he's also a pro at apologizing :)</span></b></li>

<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>You make friends easily and we always have a bunch of kids at our house. Almost all of your friends are a couple of years older and it's so fun to watch you interact. But what we love the most is watching you interact with Liam. Sometimes you fight and push each other's buttons, but lately you want to help him, and be his example and the way he looks up to you is so sweet. Thank you for being such a great person for him to look up to (and please don't ever stop!). </b></b><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Here is a good example: Just the other day you didn't have to take a nap. When Liam woke up you said: Liam, I didn't even have to take a nap. His reaction: "Wooooow Lanon!" (said with a reverence that is only reserved for big brothers) Liam often refers to you as "my Lanon!"</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>You are always up for anything. You love your play set and have mastered your two wheel bike with no training wheels. The other day you went 3 miles with us and could have gone longer! </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>You LOVE playing soccer. You've gotten really good at stealing the ball away, and it's fun to watch you improve. But what we love most is that you are the heart and soul of a team - you cheer for them, you encourage them, and no matter how long you've played and how tired you look you are always the first to volunteer to go back out on the field. This spring you're going to try T-ball for the first time and we can't wait to watch you!! </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>School is one of your favorite things - you are a sponge and love to learn. You are thrilled about kindergarten because you finally get to go to the big school where your friends are, but you keep trying to convince us that you might just need to go right to first grade so you can be with your friends :)! You are reading really well, and we love seeing the pride in your eyes when you master new skills. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>And you are so valiant ... you love learning about the gospel and sharing it. You are an example to all of us. Sometimes you'll bust out what you learned from a scripture story and we didn't even know you had heard it!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>And the latest? I think we have an official "first crush!" There is a very cute girl next door who you've informed me a few times you are going to marry. Until last week, she wasn't aware of the plan. The two of you were coloring when she mentioned that a family member was going to be going to Washington, DC. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>You: "That's where I'm going to go on a mission!" (this is from a ward Primary Activity from last summer) "And get married in the temple! To YOU!"</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>You: "Uhhhh, nevermind"</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I almost died laughing, and wanted to cry at the same time. </b></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Really, you are just growing up too fast. And as I hold you on my lap, I wish you weren't growing so fast. But at the same time it is so fun to watch you grow and change. I guess, as a mom, I wish I could just hold you forever. </b><br />
