A PAYBACK MOMENT

I went with Jason to get his Senior pictures taken a couple of weeks ago and while the photographer was shooting them she asked Jason if there was anything else that he wanted like a special pose and prop or anything and he said, "I want a picture with my mom". I nearly started crying. How sweet is that?! I hadn't dressed for my picture to be taken but I was so touched how could I say no. I will forever cherish this picture because he wanted it done.

MY BABY IS GROWING UP!!

This is Jason just before he left for the Homecoming dance Saturday evening. He took Daniel's suit that Dan bought for a dance and had it fitted for him and got this awesome tie to match his date's dress. He looked so handsome and he told me how good he felt in the suit. (His first suit.)

When did he get so grown up? I nicknamed him baby when he was young and then when he got too old for me to call him that anymore I started calling him abies which is babies without the b at the beginning. I still can't stop calling him baby though.

Enjoy your little children because the time when they are no longer little goes by sooooo fast! It came way too soon for me.

THE NOT SO BEAUTIFUL SIDE OF HAWAII

This is the side of Hawaii that Daniel gets to see. He says he hasn't really seen the pretty parts yet, maybe a few. He has seen the ocean once since he has been there. I have to say the picture was not quite how I had envisioned Hawaii, but I guess there is the opposite side in every city.

I keep waiting for the day that I don't miss him so much. If anyone asks me how he is I can't help but get this big smile on my face or depending on the day I might break out into tears. He is doing so great though. We are so proud of him.

Don't you love the ties in the window in the picture below. I guess they are ties left from all the missionaries that have been there. I thought they were using them as blinds or something.
