Priesthood Session

General Conference was this last weekend. Corbin is not quite 12 but he will be in 3 weeks so it was his turn to join the family tradition of the men gathering at temple square for priesthood session. In true Corbin fashion, he was worried about me being all alone :) He had such a good time and I think he was excited to be a big kid. As well as Ross and my boys, my dad has become a part of this tradition too.

I think the above picture is proof that one righteous man can make a huge difference in the life of his family, and mine. Thank you Dixon for being that man.

Ask and You Shall Receive

I admit that I am a over protective mother. I want to know where my kids are, who they are with and what they will be doing. It's really not because I want to control them, it's just that well, they are my kids. I don't know what I would do if something ever happened to one of them.

Never-the-less, I know that there comes a time in life when you kind of need to cut the apron strings and let them fly. I have prayed many times to Heavenly Father that I would know when that time comes and that I would have the ability to do it.

Last night, I was laying by Tyson before bed. We were just talking. He is a pretty private kid. He doesn't often share things that are close to his heart. Out of the blue he started sharing. I was so happy that I took the opportunity to listen. Closely. I won't tell you everything but the gist of it is that I knew it was time. The spirit whispered it to me. It's time for Ty to fly.

I know that he will always need me but it's ok for him to become the man he is supposed to be. I can let go as much as he needs me to. But I just want to say that, dangit, it's hard.
