First, Jack turned 12! I can't believe how much he has grown up this past year! There is not a trace of little boy left and we are headed full-speed ahead toward the teenage years.
It was an exciting birthday for him. He was very glad to finally be able to advance from Primary to deacon's quorum. His grandparents were here for his birthday. They came down from Utah because he, Thomas, and Dallin were all being ordained to different offices in the Aaronic Priesthood, and they wanted to be here for that. It was a bonus that they got to be here for some of the birthday celebration!
Just over a week later, Thomas turned 14! He is taller than me now, by a couple of inches, and is sailing through Junior High like it is no trouble at all, which makes my life as a mom with a kid at the junior high much happier!
Lately I have been looking at my boys and I can't believe that they are so tall, and grown-up. I don't know quite how that happened so fast. I was thinking the other day about how so many moms complain about certain phases of life with their kids, but I can honestly say that I have thoroughly enjoyed every phase that my boys have gone through. I never wished any part of their growing up years away. I am so grateful for that! I only have about 10 years left before all of my boys are out of the house and it makes me just want to appreciate these years so much more. I know how fast 10 years goes!!
I am so grateful that I have been blessed to be the mom of such great boys! Happy Birthday Jack and Thomas!!
