Moving on Up

This past Sunday Myles was ordained to the office of a Teacher within the Aaronic Priesthood. Now Myles gets to help set up and prepare the sacrament. He is stoked, but can't wait till he is a Priest and can actually bless the sacrament. But that isn't until he turns 16, so he has a while to wait still. Brad even got to do the blessing, so that made it extra special!

We went out and bought Myles all new church clothes this weekend. That boy seems to grow out of things before he even breaks them in. He is now in a size 9 shoe and 30x30 slacks. He isn't a little boy anymore by an stretch of the imagination.

Tonight Shakierra was a good sport and helped me with a project. We made 3 dice for a game for this coming weekends Youth Conference. You know when you envision how this grand idea will turn out ... and then once you are done it is nothing near as cute as you had planned. That is how the dice turned out. At this point I am just hoping they survive the game.

Tonight when Myles got home from riding his bike he mentioned he wanted a haircut. So I grabbed the car keys and drove off with him before he could change his mind. It was 830pm, so I knew we didn't have much time to get in before everyone closed up for the night. We hit 4 barbers before getting in. But the Great Clips by Albertsons did the best job on his hair that I have seen in a long while. So I am happy that I have my clean cut boy back.

Poor Brad is working non-stop these days. He is still at work as I am typing this. He has been there for 13 hours already. So my hats off to all those truck drivers out there delivering all the goodies so that I can keep shopping:)
