My Little Guy...

Isn't a little guy anymore! Troy turned 12 today. In six short years he will be an adult. WHAT?!?!?!

This is a warning to all you women out there "struggling" with toddlers. It's tough, I know it is. I've been there. {actually, I'm still there!} But really, before you know it, he's getting baptized at 8, then the priesthood at 12. The one thing I have done really well as a mother has been to "drink" of every little moment that I could treasure. And I'm here to tell you that it still speeds by too fast!!!
I am looking forward to these teenage years. I know it will have some rough times, but I am. I can't wait to guide him through becoming an adult. "Troy, be easy on your dad and I. o.k.?"


So in my birthday tradition, I will post my "12" favorite things about him.
12. Troy has a GREAT sense of humor. He really does!!!!
11. He's athletic.
10. My "man in training" is a good people person.
9. He enjoys surfing and will do it even with the fear of crocs in the water.
8. He is a true "business man"!
7. Troy is learning Spanish so quickly
6.  He "ISN"T" addicted to video games!
5. He has a great singing voice.
4. He has always been appreciative with all that he has.
3. He is a naturally good drummer. Really, he's good.
2. Troy has a strong spiritual sense.
1. He's not afraid to work and work hard. I love it!!!

Hey Shawna I don't know how much you've heard about the Prop 8 stuff but it's big here. If you guys can you might consider voting absentee.
