Nathan

Nate at 2 months old
My oldest son turned 12 this year.  I have been in a little bit of a shock.  My first-born is not supposed to get this old this quick.  He is wearing the same size shoes as I am, and I do not have small feet.  I think he grows another inch each time I look at him.  He is such a good boy and such a good big brother. I am thoroughly enjoying watching him grow up and seeing the young man that he is becoming.

On his birthday we had a small family party.
Nate got a new bike for his birthday.  He was pretty excited.

The next day we let him invite some boys from church over.  We had nine 12-year-old boys over to play night games in the park next door, eat pizza, and watch The Sorcerer's Apprentice on the projector.  He has such a good group of friends.  I am so grateful that we live in this amazing ward.  

 He received the priesthood and was ordained to be a Deacon on the 19th of December.  I am so proud of him for making this choice and for being such a wonderful example to his younger siblings.

Wow,

It looks like you are all busy and happy!
