Sunday

Another Elder

 I can't believe my baby is old enough to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood but that's exactly what happened today.  I sure do love this kid.  I have learned and grown a lot from being his mom...I am blessed.  All of our kids came to support Jared today.  I love my family for always being there for each other.  It was sure a happy time for this mommy.  My heart was full and proud.  It won't be long and this young man will be serving His Father in Heaven and paying back a little for all he has been given.  I need to start practicing positive thinking concerning this time because right now every time I think of him leaving I cry.  I feel like I did when Justin left.  I'm a mess and so it's time to change my thoughts and focus on all the good concerning missionaries.

It was awesome to have all my guys up in the ordination circle.  Larry, Justin, Kevin, Braxton and Jaydan.  Gramps was also up there along with our High councilman- Randy Garside, our Bishop-Bishop Gurney, and our friend Clint McFarland.  When TJ receives this Priesthood, all our guys will be able to stand in for him.  Julie stayed home with the kids and Ivy and Zaden were with their dads, but everyone else was with us including Bobbi McFarland and her boys. It was wonderful!
These ducks were at church all day just chillin in the parking lots.  By the time Jared was ordained there was a hurt one.  He was sitting in the snow and blood was around him.  Braxton felt bad for it and so he helped him to the other side a little faster.  It seemed mean but having it freeze to death seemed meaner.
