I just wanted to brag about Ryan. He has worked really hard over the past 3 yrs in scouts. And last Tuesday he earned his Webelos Rank Advancement, his Religious Square Knot and his Arrow of Light. We had an awesome pack meeting, where " Jungle Safari" was the theme. The leaders decorated the stage with all kinds of animals and they played cool "jungle music" in the background. There were four boys that got the Arrow of Light that night. They did this really awesome ceremony where they gave the boys an Indian Head dress with a few small feathers in it. Then they told a story (which I can't remember all of) but they gave each boy a different color feather for each thing like faith and courage etc. Then they had them walk across this yellow bridge to the 11 yr old scouts and their leaders who were waiting on the other side. It was so cool. I took some pictures, but as usual the quality is terrible. I really need to get a better camera. But you can still kinda see what it was like. My mom came so there's a picture of her and Ryan. We also invited our Home teacher, Brent Beckstrom and his wife Debbie. We are so proud of Ryan.
Dayna just turned 18. She is a beautiful young woman. She has her whole future ahead of her, but right now she is loving her last few months of high school and flirting with all the boys in her classes. I don't know if she ever pays attention to the teacher, but her grades seem to be pretty good so far. Dayna is so much fun to tease, everyone does it & just can't help themselves because she reacts to it and is so funny. I am so happy to have Dayna she is my only girl, I know she wishes she had a sister & I do to, but I told her that I'm always there if she need to talk, plus she has lots of girlfriends that are like sisters to her too. She seems ok with that. Plus she doesn't have to share her stuff. I am so grateful that she is a good girl and knows what she wants, I hope she continues to make good choices in her life. She is planning on getting a job this summer and going to Snow College in the fall.
Jason
15 years old
All about Jason
Jason is 15 and is just finishing up his Freshman year of High school. He's been having a great time . He so funny and has lots of friends. He just got his learners permit, I'm scared to death to take him driving though. He is still a little entreprenuer, him and his friend bought a bunch of bunnies, and are hoping they will make lots more bunnies so they can sell them for Easter. They also applied for a job this summer at the Scofield Scout and camp and they both got hired and will be working there for 9 weeks, this summer. I am so proud of Jason , he such a good kid and is always willing to help. I don't what I will do without him this summer. I am so grateful to have him as my son.
Ryan
13 years old
All about Ryan
Ryan is 12 yrs old and I can't believe it, he was my baby for a long time, but he's growing up.He looks so handsome in his suit as he passes the Sacrament each Sunday. He loves to hang out with Jason even I though I think Jason get's tired of him always following him around. Ryan loves to play any type of game, if he's not playing computer games he's outside with the neighbors playing war games with homemade weapons. Ryan is a quiet kid and shy around people he doesn't know, he has a harder time making friends than Jason, but now that he's the only one in elementary school he's starting to make his own friends. He is finishing up his last year of elementary school and is looking forward to Junior High next year. He is a great kid & really tries hard to what's is right. I am so lucky to have him as a son.
Adam
3 yrs old
All about Adam
Adam is our big surprise baby. He is almost 9 yrs younger than Ryan. I really thought I was done having kids. After Ryan was born, I still wanted one more, but I had two miscarriages, & then I couldn't get pregnant after that, so I assumed after 5+ yrs that there was a medical condition preventing me from getting pregnant & Tad & I resigned to the idea that our family was complete. Imagine our shock when we found out I was pregnant with Adam! But even though he wasn't planned, he has been such a great blessing in our lives. He's spoiled rotten, but he is a good baby & keeps me company during the day, I used to complain about how boring it was all day with no kids around. So I think Heavenly Father sent Adam down here to keep me company. I am so grateful he did. He is turning 4 this summer, I can't believe it. He is so cute, yesterday he said "mom your my friend, and my mom" I just love listening to him talk, and watching him learn new things everyday. I'm enjoying him as much as I can!
