NO SCHOOL!!!

For the last 3 years every Presidents Day we have gone to Mt. Hood to play in the snow. Every year we leave when its raining and we we have gotten there it ends up being a beautiful sunny day. Well our luck ran out and it didn't work that way this year. We left and it was raining , we got there it was raining, we played and it was raining, and we came home and it was still raining. But in true Portland style we just acted like it wasn't there. You just can't let the rain stop you.

Kyson hasn't yet learned that rule and didn't like the rain in his face so Kyson and I spent most of the time hanging out in the car. Lucky I was able to watch the other boys from the car and it was also stocked with lots of snacks.

The boys had a blast sledding with daddy.

Look at those poor feeties. His shoes didn't want to stay on. 

Kyson also go to check out the snow for a few minutes before he wanted to get back inside the car. 

My little sunbeam

I always get mixed feelings when my kids hit different milestones. They grow up so so fast and I'm sad that   they are growing up and there is nothing I can do about it. On the other hand I get really excited for them and for the growth and progress they have achieved in their lives so far. I guess that is what life is all about and I shouldn't fight it right?

This year Bradley went into Primary and is now a sunbeam! It has been fun being in the primary presidency and be able to watch and learn the primary songs with both him and Wes in primary. Last week Brad got to give his first talk on Choosing the Right. Of course I couldn't get him to talk but he stood really proud up on the stand holding a CTR sign while I read the talk we wrote together.

I am so proud of Brad and his choice to attend primary so happily. I thought it would be a hard transition for him but he did awesome.
