He's clever, charming, witty to a fault, and agile as they come! I've been in love with Liam since before he was born. He is that baby that was happy and fun. He was the pre schooler that craved any kind of puzzle or brain teaser. He was the elementary kid with THE most energy and spunk. And now he's a star middle schooler that is well known for all the good and bad reasons. He loves life. He loves making people laugh. He loves pushing my buttons. He's a joy above all and making goals for the future man he wants to be. Happy birthday to my lacrosse star, my gamer, friend maker, and the most electric person I know!!!!</span><br />

<br />
Thursday you turned the big 1-3! I drove down to where your dad lives to surprise you with gifts, balloons, and a breakfast of powdered donuts at 7am. Things have been rough between us the past few months, so when you came bounding down the stairs and the smile of surprise showed up on your face, I beamed. You hugged me so tight and grinned so cute when I informed you about your nutritious meal I had for you. You opened your gifts and gave me more hugs. I then left to face a commute and another work day.<br />
<br />
3pm rolled around and you wouldn't believe it... but you called me! You called me using your phone that you only use on your friends lately and told me you had a really fun day! I was so happy to hear your happy voice and hear about your day full of friends making you feel special throughout the school day. You've become so popular with the whole middle school in only a couple months! That big smart brain and super quick wit has gotten you in a lot of trouble this school year, but golly has it bought you a lot of fans. It's something to behold.<br />
<br />
Dad sent me a photo of the gift we all pitched in to buy you. A dirt bike - your own motorcycle essentially and you were so amazed! The photo shows the pride in your eyes that you get to fix that bike up with your dad and have that time with him. Plus just plain delight that you get to drive a machine like that at your age! So awesome for you! You guys are going to have so much fun! You are one lucky kid to have a dad that does really manly cool things with you like this, boating, golfing, camping, and all the tough chores and fixing upping around the house. It's fortunate he involves you so much and loves you so much more!<br />
<br />
My mom called me to say she got to talk to you on your birthday too and she loved every second of the conversation. Thanks for loving her and letting her chat a bit even though that's not your thing.<br />
<br />
Last night we did our own celebrating together! I picked you and your friends up to go out to the Tepanyaki Grill to watch our food catch fire in front of us. Your girlfriend, Sam, screamed when the fire would go and you were so amused at her reactions throughout the night. After dinner, we went to Provo Beach to play on the Flow Rider. Your new buddy, Travis, was cute as he watched you enjoy your evening on the water. You taught both him and Sam how to get on and surf, but they let you take over most of the time because they saw you are a natural and loved watching you balance and play. You all were cute together. I loved when Sam would lose her balance and you guys just ran to her to help in any way you could and ensure she wasn't hurt. Such gentlemen.<br />
<br />
On the way back, the back seat laughs were darling. I am so glad you have good friends that really care about you and you care about them in return. You all are so grown up!<br />
<br />
Today we have just been hanging out, you and me. I love watching our shows on TV and laughing our heads off together. We rewind things a lot so we can laugh again! We did our daily trampoline jumping tonight and laughed a lot then too. You make life funny and interesting and never ever dull. I am glad you are here. I miss you when you are gone. I love you with all I have, kid. It's been a rough year, but I think the next year will be a more bonding one for us. We still have a ton more to learn... about everything... but more importantly about communicating together.<br />
<br />
Thanks for being you.<br />
<br />
All my love,<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

We moved into the ward in January and have really liked being in the ward with so many nice people, and we really like being close to the canyon. A little about us: We like to go on hikes, we play with friends, and also we read together each night before going to sleep. We have been reading scriptures, but afterward we enjoy reading books about boys my age and their pet dogs. We just finished reading Old Yeller and laughed so much during the adventures in that story.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

I like thinking about my baptism and how close I felt to the Spirit that day. My dad baptized me and gave me the gift of the Holy Ghost. I have been taking the sacrament my whole life, but after my baptism it definitely meant more to me each Sunday. </span></div>

While He was there, He taught the people how to prepare and partake of the sacrament.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jesus broke the bread, blessed it, and commanded that the disciples who were with Him partake of it. He said, “And this shall ye always observe to do, even as I have done, even as I have broken bread and blessed it and given it unto you.</span></div>

And it shall be a testimony unto the Father that ye do always remember me. And if ye do always remember me ye shall have my Spirit to be with you.”</span></div>

When they drank it, Jesus said, “And this shall ye always do to those who repent and are baptized in my name; and ye shall do it in remembrance of my blood, which I have shed for you, that ye may witness unto the Father that ye do always remember me. And if ye do always remember me ye shall have my Spirit to be with you.”</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Here at church this morning we partook the sacrament ordinance that Jesus taught about back then. It is important for us to remember that each Sunday we have the privilege to renew our promises and to think about Jesus Christ while the sacrament is being blessed and passed. Because we are given this special opportunity, we should show Heavenly Father our gratitude by being reverent.</span></div>

I have a testimony that it represents Jesus Christ’s body and blood. I pray with my mom every morning and every night that I can remember Him and make good choices at school or wherever I am. I challenge each of you to pray for this too. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.</span></div>

That alone brightened my day. He then went on to tell me 3 awesome things among other sweet details! 1. He's in a play at school and invited me to come see it in a couple weeks! 2. He told me how much he likes his mainstream class and how comfortable he is now. He fits in, is making a lot of new friends, and feels happy with himself! 3. He told me he's been staying out of trouble on the bus this week because he's reading the book I gave him Monday morning. He's excited for the second book and wants ME to read the first one to get on the same page with him! He is a dreamy little dude. I needed that conversation today!</span><br />

He teaches me in ways I never thought were possible and with big stuff I never thought I needed. He and I refine ourselves bit by bit and grow closer together as time goes on. As a mother, I'm reminded regularly how spiritually immature I am... which is humbling and essential so I aim higher. May the Lord bless all you parents as you strive to raise your babies with love and understanding (with them and yourselves). They are ours to impress upon for only a short time.</span><br />

And I said, "Really? What was fun?" He said, "Yesterday." "Are you telling me you had fun scooping leaves and pine needles?" "Yeah, I guess I am!" (Today was our yard waste pick up day and we didn't get to that task Saturday... Liam and I kicked butt at dusk trying to get everything we could to the curb. Was so proud of him for helping me so much - and proclaiming his love for me all weekend too. He melts me.)</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">--I posted the above to Facebook this morning. The entire weekend was pretty dreamy. The kids were great Thursday night when Liam got back to us and then Friday we all went to see Cinderella at the Megaplex (in our haste to make/eat dinner prior, I managed to slice the tip of my finger off - which was an adventure to say the least, but I got some sympathy from the kids so that was nice). After the movie we got Coldstone ice cream! Saturday was a lazy morning watching Indiana Jones then I took the boys to a Lego event and Tadge took Jenna on a date to Red Lobster and Justice for Girls. We all got back to the house around the same time and hung out the rest of the day. Got a lot done on our list of things to do before Tadge left town Sunday morning. Sunday morning we rushed to get Tadge to the airport then I rushed to get the kids to church. Church was a success and everyone came home with a great attitude and Ben especially seemed gratified with his attendance which isn't the usual since the last hour of church is not his favorite. I took Ben and Jenna to their mom's and all three were so cute and nice in the back seat... which isn't the norm. I complimented them all. It's so great to see them jive and not compete with each other. I told Liam on the way home that I was needing a nap badly and he asked nicely if we could build a fire and roast marshmallows. I said yes, but I'd be taking a nap afterward. He was excited! We managed to build a fire in the rain and roast a few mallows. It was fun to be with him and work together. He even went and got me a drink of water while I roasted a mallow for him so it was perfectly brown and melty in the middle! We cleaned up our mess and went upstairs together. He said it was time for my nap now! So cute. I laid there for awhile and yelled to him (in his bedroom) that I couldn't fall asleep. He came in and adjusted my window blinds to darken the room and suggested a melatonin. I laughed. He was so sweet and thoughtful! When I woke up we made popcorn and watched some TV as he built a fort out of couch cushions. Then I got the gumption to finally go do some yard work since the city clean up day was this morning and all material that goes to the dump needed to be put out to the curb... and we had no time for that work on Saturday. We worked together to rake, scoop, and sweep up leaves and pine needles around the property. Even got some debris out of the playhouse that has needed attention for years it would seem. We met the neighbors and talked to them for a bit too. It was a nice evening of hard work. When it was time for bed we snuggled and talked for awhile. He started reciting an older YouTube video that we both loved and made me laugh (Dear Kitten). He told me he loved me and I'm the best mom... I melted many times the past 5 days in his company. I love my Liam so very much! He really is a good little man through and through.--</span></em>Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07950880083795695746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23372529.post-18567266350420230272015-03-14T20:59:00.000-06:002015-03-15T21:23:10.569-06:00Terrarium ClassI signed Liam and myself up for a terrarium class this morning! I was totally excited to finally learn this art I've seen on Pinterest for so long and Liam got on board once we arrived and he realized what it was! Totally fun and we'll be making a bigger version next time... maybe a bonsai garden!<br />

When
it came time for the baby to smash his cake, Liam got curious about his
own reaction on his first birthday. We ended up ge<span class="text_exposed_show">tting
into the photo/video archives and smiling together as I held him on my
lap like when he was little. Love my almost 8 year old boy!<br /> <br /> <a href="http://workingmomofliam.blogspot.com/2006/10/happy-12-month-birthday-liam.html" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://workingmomofliam.blogspot.com/2006/10/happy-12-month-birthday-liam.html</a></span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">Saturday I really wanted to spend the whole day with Liam. I had some church stuff to do in the morning, but everything else that I/we were invited to do that day was declined. When I got back from the items I had to do that morning, we got ready to cruise up the mountain and check out Oktoberfest at Snowbird Ski Resort.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">We had a lovely lovely drive up the canyon. The fall colors were glorious! I took a risk and took photos with my phone out the windshield... Liam took a few out his window too. Thank you, Liam.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">I asked him to keep his eye out for the color red because there isn't much that had changed color that far yet. I remember there was a tree in our complex that was completely red already and asked if he knew what I was talking about. He replied, "Yes! I pointed it out to my friend JJ (13) and said 'isn't that beautiful' and he gave me a weird look, but said it was." My heart leaped a bit that Liam isn't afraid to verbally notice beauty in front of his friends. Oh so sweet. </span></span><br />

At the entrance of the Oktoberfest, Liam got friendly with a gingerbread guy. Okay, I made him smile with the pastry. <br />

After a game of bean bag toss, we browsed at some vendor booths, then we headed into a big tent where there was German entertainment going on the large stage. We stood in line for the authentic food - well I did. Liam stayed close to the tent and played in what little snow was outside! <br />
<br />
As we were eating our yummy German food,they announced it was time for a game of musical chairs! According to Liam I made him play. He did really well on each round as he made eye contact with me each time he found a seat... "I'm still here mom... and I'm doing good" is what those sweet eyes kept saying. He ended up in the top two with a gal named Leah and she was also a Tae Kwon Do kid! Funny! Leah took the victory as Liam was on the wrong side of the chair when the music stopped. He got a bouncy ball consolation prize!<br />

<br />
We packed up and started walking out of the tent to go on to the next thing when Liam checked his wallet to ensure his $5 and the birthday voucher for $3 from Toys R Us were still there. He discovered the gift card was gone. He was heartbroken. He went back and looked all over the floor and also asked the guys above if they saw it. No dice.<br />
<br />
As we stood in line for the tickets for the ropes course and the tram ride, Liam continually got worked up over that $3 now gone. I said, "Let's not let that ruin your whole day. We'll go to the store and see if they'll understand you lost it and maybe they'll help us." He cleared his tears and we marched on to the highly anticipated ropes course.<br />
<br />
He was rigged up to start the course and given directions on how to guide his rope along. He seemed confident that he didn't need any help up there. <br />

He was doing so well. I was cheering for him and clicking away with my camera. Then I went to the other side of him and discovered something I didn't expect.<br />

Sad face! Oh no! "What's going on? Are you okay?" Nope. He was scared of the height and was frustrated with the other kids going around him and making things tougher than he had imagined. I rushed over to the workers and one gal volunteered to go up and do the course with him. BLESS HER! <br />

I was really impressed with the time he spent up there to try a few different ways to cross the ropes.<br />
<br />
Next, the tram ride! We had to wait in line for about 15 minutes before we tightly loaded up! That little sweatshirt Liam wore strummed up conversations left and right. We stood next to a lady that has a son that goes to the same studio for Tae Kwon Do. A year after quitting the sport, we are still meeting people because of it!<br />

It was a fun ride to the top. Gorgeous views! It took a ton of convincing for Liam to put on his coat and hat and mittens... but shortly thereafter he was grateful for all three! He got right to work when we arrived at the top of the mountain!<br />

After he played in the snow for awhile, he spotted some icecicles forming under the tram platform. So he start throwing rocks towards them to knock them to the ground. He was successful many times and collected a few good size ones.<br />
<br />
Then he started making snow angels!<br />

<br />
Whoa... too close! <br />

I then asked a stranger to take one last photo of us before we loaded the tram. Liam doesn't like it when I talk to strangers.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCVDhXGBNOqwPaDnDPo5oDDCKNAh3pAI18LPyz4hfqJvEIuUE1AizQiGluppfjKL-Nh_svJ8CB5Zvkv8ULlS6y1o3imqADppBVKnF5G1n2V1nnEY14IEQ30SK3vQgRHwk7MEx9ug/s1600/_MG_2835.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCVDhXGBNOqwPaDnDPo5oDDCKNAh3pAI18LPyz4hfqJvEIuUE1AizQiGluppfjKL-Nh_svJ8CB5Zvkv8ULlS6y1o3imqADppBVKnF5G1n2V1nnEY14IEQ30SK3vQgRHwk7MEx9ug/s640/_MG_2835.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

Tram ride down - photo out the window and between lots of folks.<br />

<br />
Liam got a huge pretzel with cheese and then we stopped to watch Dale the yo-yo guy show us the evolution of tricks!<br />

I stopped the car on our way down the mountain to capture the beauty!<br />

<br />
Liam was determined to stop by Toys R Us and see if they would give him another $3 towards his purchase that day. Amazingly we got a very helpful worker that agreed to his plea. Loved that Liam initiated the sob story with, "My mom made me play musical chairs..."<br />
<br />
He picked out a Pokemon sorting binder and we checked out. As Liam laid his cash out and waited for his discount, the worker asked if he wanted his birthday balloon and crown. He looked at me in amazement of the offer. So I answered yes for him. I sized the crown and placed it on his head after handing him the giraffe balloon. Right there in the store he said, "THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!" I cracked up. And then my heart sank because my phone had died and I couldn't take a photo of this grateful little guy!<br />
<br />
When we got home we carved Liam's huge pumpkin together! He had been asking to do this all week long. So glad he did more than half the work this year! He even sorted all the seeds so I could roast them. <br />

<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">It took a bit of encouragement to get Liam to finally do his bedtime routine. I ended up kinda grumpy by the time I tucked him in after reading and prayers. I went to lay in my own bed and yelled out to him, "I love you, good night!" He replied the same thing back to me. I then shouted back, "Sorry I am grumpy!" And he replied, "You aren't grumpy, you are awesome!" - my heart melted. I love how resilient and unconditionally loving he is towards me.</span></span>Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07950880083795695746noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23372529.post-8571018319593336872013-09-26T09:56:00.002-06:002013-10-18T22:46:38.996-06:00Call of the Wild<br />

Mom (Dixie) had some of the food catered and also did all the decorations. I especially love the pineapple palm tree she put together with a little help from Ian's welding skills as he made a stainless steel stand that is under all that fruit. Alicia made each family member a lava lava skirt and gave us each a lai of some sort. I really liked Drew's seed necklaces!<br />
<br />
All the kids on both sides of the family got along so well as they ran around, jumped on the trampoline, and also enjoyed a Samoan dancer show us his skills.<br />
<br />
The whole evening was so great!<br />
