Oh my Heck!!!!

Can it be? My Damian is 12 today! Where has all the time gone? I still recall his contagious little laugh, his make believe car that he drove around the house to do any task, him ripping his sheets off his crib everytime (until his mommy became smarter than him and sewed a crib mattress pillow case- Now try that one smarty pants), and him lining up his Hot Wheel cars and crashing them for hours each day. We celebrated today by having the most fantastic Nerf war with some friends of his, eating Eegee's, and enjoying the day. Now we will see him passing the sacrament after he receives the Aaronic priesthood. We love you Damian and are so happy to have you in our family.
(Check back for some pictures soon after I load them.)

Thou shall not covet

Aubrey has been anxiously waiting for today to arrive. Last week she asked me for a box and some wrapping paper. She has been protecting this box (laying in bed with it too). She also had each family member write a little note to me. She happily presented it all to me this morning for my birthday. Remember "Thou shall not covet".
I could wear a new necklace, bracelet, or ring at least for a month without repeating any of them. Thank you Aubrey, you are very thoughtful.
