Happy Birthday Jax!

 Jaxon has been very excited to turn 12 and has been counting down the days for quite a while.  In our family, we don't allow our children to get handheld electronics until they are 12.  They also have to pay for half of it.  He has had the money for a long time.  He had a hard time deciding weather to get a psp go or an ipod touch.  He researched the differences between both of them on the internet.  I think he decided on the ipod touch once Kierra got hers.  He was very excited to go get it and had a hard time waiting until after Jadon's football game. 

 Jaxon requested pizza and a chocolate fountain for dinner so that's what we did.  We haven't gotten the chocolate fountain out in a long time and the kids had a great time dipping strawberries in it.

 After dinner, we played the candy bar game.  Who doesn't love the candy bar game?  We had a great time and no one even cried.

 After that, Jaxon and Jadon went to the Utah game.  Doyle was able to get some tickets for them.  They were amazing seats.  It was fun to get them ready and they had a great time.  They even showed them on the jumbo tron!

 Jaxon was ordained as a deacon today by his Dad.  Dale gave him a wonderful blessing and it was neat to have our whole family, plus my parents, in there to hear it.  It makes me so happy to have two of my sons hold the priesthood.

It's hard to believe that Jaxon is already 12 years old.  My kids are growing up so fast.  He is one of a kind.  He's a very talented athlete and is good at anything he tries.  His favorite sport is whatever he's playing at the time.  He is a great student as well.  His competitive nature helps him in school because he doesn't like anyone to do better than him.  He is very affectionate and hugs me all the time.  He has a very strong personality and I hope he uses it to become a leader one day.  He is a huge pressence in our home and when he's not there, it feels weird.  I hope he had a great birthday.  I love you Jax!
