Twelve Jack

Today is the twelfth birthday of Jack.  Hard, very hard to believe that he is now 12 years of age. For his birthday Jack wanted to celebrate with a meal under the golden arches.  It was tough to venture in there after being gone for a lengthy time.  Anyhow, we managed to survive the playland and the dining experience.  We then made a trip up to the folks house for a little cake and ice cream and the opening of presents.  Jack was pretty disappointed in the clothes but then warmed up to them and everything else after he opened his new nintendo 2DS.  He is loving it and all Andy can talk about it getting one for himself and wanting to download certain games onto Jack's device.  Fun to see their excitement.  Well, I have been trying to focus and get math done for the last hour but I can't keep my eyes open and am getting no where.  I called it quits for the day because I am spinning my exhausted wheels and getting no where.  I'll be back on it tomorrow.  For tonight however, I am grateful for my children.  They are good people.  I am grateful for Jack.  The big one two.  Crazy how fast the time goes but I am excited to have him join me for priesthood meetings and the like.  Should be a lot of fun.  Must call it a night as I can no longer keep my eyes open.  Happy Birthday Big Jack.
