Breathe

In 9 short days my oldest will be 12. It makes me literally struggle for breath when I think about it. My eyes well up too.

12

It is all happening too fast.

I am growing up right there with him and have so much growing left to do. He will probably get there before I do.

If it makes you feel any younger, my baby will be 12 next week.

Hold on tight! The ride goes faster and has lots more ups and downs, but man is it fun!

I love my Brayden!!!!! You are so handsome Brayden and I am so thankful you are my grandson. I wish we lived closer so i could go to all of your special events in life. Thank you for being such a great example to the rest of us. Happy upcoming birthday young man.

I can't believe he's so old! He's a good boy though so having a kid in Young Men's will be fun.

WOW, how time flies. Seems like just yesterday when I was at your house in Sand Point, Idaho and he was a pre-schooler.
Great milestones, though. The priesthood and a baptism in the same summer. Wonderful.

Oh he looks so grown up:( It makes me so sad that I barely see him. You should be very proud Taft and Shanna... he is a great boy:)

Shanna,
A few days ago our local news told about a woman who heard that her baby's picture was on the internet on an adoption website. She looked at the site, and it was a picture she had posted of him on her blog. She emailed the site and asked about the baby. She was told that it would cost her $3,000.00 for information. Because I post pictures of my grandkids, I want to protect them and have gone private with my blog. I don't have a current e-mail address for you, so if you will send me an e-mail at atopham@sisna.com I will send you an invitation to view the blog.
