Donald's Turning 10!


I can't believe he is growing up so fast.  On November 30th Donald will be turning ten.  It is strange how fast ten years flies by and before you know it you are paying for braces, helping him put in his contacts, and worrying about middle school.  Instead of toys he wants phones and IPODs.  He has been taking an air tricks class to learn how to do flips on is wakeboard.  He also has been going to a golf clinic on Saturdays. He got on the honor roll and his teacher says that he loves his sense of humor.  It is incredible that something that started out so small can turn into something so amazing and smart.  Did this really start as two microscopic cells?  It just makes me realize how much my Heavenly Father loves me to let me be a part of something as powerful as creating a life.  I think sometimes we don't realize what a gift life is and how truly amazing it is that everything works the way that it does.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Donald is always telling me that Thanksgiving does not get its fair share of hype.  We go straight from Halloween commercials to Christmas sales.  So this year I want to say "yeah to Thanksgiving".
Five things I am thankful for (not necessarily in order):
My family
Knowing that my father in heaven is always there for me
Our temple marriage making us an eternal family
Being able to learn new things
Our Home

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Friends and Family!
