Happy Birthday Jack!

Twelve years ago I was waiting in a Salt Lake City Hospital for my first baby to make his way into the world. At 5:29 pm he was born. I really can't believe it has been twelve years. Life has away of speeding up as you age.

Jack is my wonderful twelve year old. He is an outstanding kid. I don't mean to brag, but seeing as how this is my blog, I shall take this opportunity to brag a little.

Jack is a bit of a quiet kid, some may say shy. I say he is a thinker. He is willing to reach out to others with a helping hand. He has weathered Primary oh these last long months by himself with out complaint. He sees when I am rattled and comes to my rescue by gathering the troops for a game or story. The past two years have been tough without a friend around. Jack is trying to do what he can with his brothers and I as playmates.

He is a builder, a reader, and a basket-ball player. He makes jokes, makes music, and makes delicious treats. He enjoys creating and designing new things with the computer. He teaches me as I teach him. He listens to the spirit and brings peace to our home.

He is a great big brother and a my outstanding son!
