I have so much blogging to catch-up on, but I had to say Happy Birthday to 3 of my favorite people. Ben, Jesse, and Nana all were born on the same day! How crazy is that?
First Jesse--He is so sweet and he oozes with goodness. This boy just wants to do what is right, which makes his momma's life really easy. Right now he loves to read, roam the neighborhood with friends, work on his break dancing, ride his bike, play soccer, swim, cuddle his baby sister, and he's quite the gymnast. He's smart, thoughtful and strong. This last week he had to give the scripture in primary and memorized the whole thing and said it perfectly. And just an example of his sweetness--today is my birthday and he woke-up came and cuddled me and told me happy birthday. Then Wyatt got up a few minutes later and he whispered in my ear, "I can hear Wyatt mom, I'll go play with him downstairs so you can keep sleeping." How sweet is that? Really the best present I could ask for right now. And he thought of it all on his own.
Ben: Is honestly more than I could ever dream of! In know it's nauseating when people blog about how great their husbands are, but it's his birthday! He too is kind, patient, thoughtful, and strong! He is running a marathon next weekend and two weeks ago he raced the Park City Point to Point ( a blog post to come soon) but it's a big deal! Requires endurance beyond what most consider human. Definitely not a sissy, run-of-mill race. It's been quite the training summer to say the least. He is also a great husband and dad, so helpful with everything that fits the description of a mother. He pitches in with everything and I want him to know that I really appreciate it. I couldn't do it without him and he makes it all not just bearable, but enjoyable. Not only that, but we have a lot of fun together--biking, riding motorcycles, going to football games, walks, watching movies, eating. It's great living life with him. Love you babe!
And last, but not least the Nana! She's out in the middle of the Mediterranean somewhere right now which makes me kind of hate her--no not really. She's lived a life as a valiant mother and daughter of God and she deserves all the enjoyment that this life has to offer! And to her that would be seeing the world. She's wise, classy, down to earth, a fabulous tickler and has been a model of greatness for me. One of her greatest qualities is what a great advocate she is for her kids. She truly sees each of us as our Heavenly Father does. No matter how awful we all were she only saw the best in us. I hope that I can someday become a smidgen of what she is.
