Today my friend says to me in RS, "Dylan's talk in primary today was so cute!!". My jaw dropped to the ground, gaping mouth and speechless, yet laughing to the point of tears... for you see, me being the fantastic mother that I am, forgot all about it! (Not surprised, I know...)

So, yes, my son didn't even miss a beat! He hopped right up to that mic and winged it!! Yep, that's right! Impromptu speech... (giggle, giggle, sigh... tear.)

New Display Name

Ok, so I googled my own name today just for kicks. I had no idea that every comment you post with anyone's blogs pulls up in the google search engine if your display name is used as your real name! That kind of freaked me out a little!!! Ok, a lot!!!! Now, maybe I am an idiot and all of you already knew this, but I am not the most tech savvy... So, I changed my display name to hopefully give me a little more privacy! Aaaaah!!

Dylan singing

So, at a church service on Oct. 12, our amazing friend Tim pulled Dylan up on stage with him and his family to sing. He was in front of about 3,000 people. I guess you would have to understand this family to appreciate the magnitude of this. Dylan loves these guys, and looks up to them so very much!! They are like family to us. He has been levitating ever since!! It was a dream come true for him. He has asked me nearly everyday for almost 2 years if he could sing with them. (Goadies, we love you!!) Please check out their website if you get a chance!! http://www.thegoads.com/
They are some of the most amazing people you could ever ask to associate with!!

Free Enterprise Day 2008!!

Travis and I feel very fortunate to be able to celebrate America and our Free Enterprise system for an entire weekend once a year with our friends!! This year, we had a few of the most amazing WW2 veterans there to tell their stories. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. I am amazed that men can carry such blind courage and do the things they did in such circumstances. I pray that we all realize that freedom isn't free and that many people paid, and many currently pay a huge price for us to enjoy what we have. I hope we may never forget that it is us as citizens that makes America great. We must learn not to rely on those we elect into office to take care of this country, but on ourselves. When we took our first steps to becoming independent, it was a group of 2% that signed our Declaration of Independence. We must never forget that an individual can make a difference. Let's not forget where we came from...

Hawaii 2008

Let's just say that when we were leaving, Dylan asked if we could pray every day to move to Hawaii. I agree. What's not to love?? 80 degrees year round, beautiful beaches, green everywhere, oh yeah... and did I mention 80 degrees year round?? We do love to travel, but I think that Hawaii will always be one of my very favorite places in the world! It was so great to be able to wake up with my family every day and not have to go to work!!! When I move there, I must be retired. How could you have a job when paradise calls your name everyday?
