Where has December gone?~

I can't believe that it is December 19th! I knew that it would fly by that means that there is only five day left! YAH! I had my Santa shopping done early but then I decided to make things....What was I thinking? Two more patchwork skirts, four capes for my daycare kids, bean heaters, and a table runner that went terribly wrong. Ohh, and throw in a birthday party and a ward party. But I love this time of year. I love to give and I love to watch the kids. They are really into the magic of Santa and most important the birth of the Savior. I showed Dylan that the word Christ was in the word Christmas and He was the most important this time of year. He thought that was pretty cool. We had a fun ward party but it was a lot of work. I had to decorate all of the tables and we cooked all of the food for the ward. We had a breakfast and I really would be ok of I didn't crack another egg and flip another pancake for a long time.

Yesterday my baby boy turned 7 yes, that's right 7!


I am so grateful for this big boy!
I am a better person because I have him in my life. He is so rightous, sometimes I fell that I don't deserve to be his mom.
He is so sweet~
He will hug Jesse and I so tight that our face turns red from lack of oxygen.
He will get anything for me. Especially when I don't want to go down the stairs. He loves his sister so much. He wants to be by her always. He will get her MeMe before she even asks him to. He is such a good brother.

He is very rightous~
He always remembers family prayer. Not one night goes by without him wanting to say a prayer. His prayers and very thoughtful and he blesses everyone. He pays more tithing than he needs to. The last time we figured he needed to pay $0.50 and he said Mom can I pay $1.00 instead. He reminds me when it is fast Sunday. (while I am stuffing my mouth with Cherrios!) I feel that I need to feed his spirit much more that I am. Note to self for this new year feed Dylan spiritually.
He is very smart~
He can build anything. All he needs is tape and some cardboard. He has built a T.V. that has actually projected an image that he drew onto the wall, an overhead projector, a magnet board, calendars, books, photo books, copy machines, and I could go on and on. He also has three businesses that he operates. He is something special. My Dad has threaten me that he is going to introduce him to duck tape and I said No. I will have duck tape on everything!!
He is not a normal seven year old!
All he wanted for his birthday was a white board. He got so excited when he opened it that he screamed and ran around. All for a white board! He told Jesse and I that he loved us so much about 20 times. He also told Santa that he wanted a 9-bin organizer. Santa just looked at me and I smiled and he said, Ok? It was so funny!


I love him so much he is so special. I know that our Heavenly Father sent his sweet spirit to Jesse and I for a reason. To get us on track, he sent this sweet boy to teach us about being an Eternal family. What a priceless gift he is to us.
Love you pickle wickle! (Even though right now you are doing your fake cry because you are going to die at any minute if you don't have pancakes right NOW!!)
