addison's on a roll.....
this week is "brag about addison" week.....
luck is on his side lately!
addison took the act in october and finally got his score.....
he came dancing into our room at 11 pm with laptop in hand....
put it up in our "asleep" faces and said, "LOOK!"
he got a 29 on his act test.....(last score was a 27)....
he went up in every subject except math....
way to go....we are so proud!
addison was made class president in seminary, recently.
that may not seem like that big of a deal, but it made him feel good.
addison made the varsity basketball team at jordan high!
this is his 4th year on the basketball team and of course his last being that he is a senior...
he is very excited and happy to be on the team!
go beetdiggers!
addison won the "principal's award" at jordan high
i am not sure what that means...i'm not even sure he gets any money with it, but he won it nonetheless.
he said that gave it to him in hopes that he would stop coming in and hounded them about scholarship applications and such....haha
most importantly, addison is growing in the gospel and in his testimony....
i asked him recently about where his testimony stood and he said....
"mom, i have a strong testimony. i believe in the church and the gospel. i am on a spiritual high and i know that i can always lean on the lord if i make mistakes and he will help me. i want to go on a mission and nothing (anxiety and/or girls) is going to hold me back."
now, that is music to my ears!
as a parent and a mother....that is payoff!
many blessings have come his way lately! i am grateful that heavenly father has blessed him and loves him and knows who he is. i am grateful for the many blessings that heavenly father has blessed me with....a loving family, a testimony, good health, talents, my calling in the young women's organization, loving friends, and much more. i am grateful!

birthdays......another one?
this past wednesday, november 10th, was my birthday!
yes, i know that you are shocked that i am getting older....
because, i certainly don't look it...hahaha!
i turned 45.....pretty much smack dab in the middle age of life...
it was a busy, crazy birthday....
phone call from ashley at 8:00 am, master's swimming, going to jordan high school for fun bus sign-ups, lunch with annie cheney, boundary committee meeting, young women's.....
the older you get, the more your birthday's turn into ordinary days.....
but, i do have a sweet family who make me feel loved!
when i was down at the high school, addison and a friend carried in 72 cookies from paradise bakery.....yum!
the "commons", where i was gathering sign-ups, was packed that day....
addison gathered his friends around him and everyone else joined in to sing me happy birthday!
it was very sweet!
i was told that there were 72 cookies - 1 for every year of my age.....thanks a lot, add!
we shared the cookies with kids at the school!
i thought that addison had bought the cookies with his own money....$50 worth.....
but, he and mark had planned together to do this during lunch - no wonder mark had asked what time i would be down at the school......
mark and addison are very sweet! mark is always doing something for me every year to make my birthday special....thank you!
face book is sometimes a good thing....
for example, you can go onto your wall on your birthday and see all the birthday wishes from lots of your friends.....
i never knew i had so many friends....:0)
it was a wonderful day even though it was a crazy, busy day!
onto another year.....hope it's a good one!
