See this kid? I think he is totally awesome! I love the young man that he is turning in to. He just spent a week camping with the boys from church. We missed him but he had an awesome time. He learned a lot about himself and he rose to many challenges that faced him on the trip. When people ask us what the best part of living in Colorado Springs is I can honestly say the changes in this boy! He's always been a good kid but I love seeing him do new things and make new friends. The friend part is the biggest. I'm sure one day I'll wonder why he's always gone hanging out with friends but for now I love it. I love that last night at a friends house, where he was until after midnight, they had to stop their activities and all of the kids in the house - family, friend, whatever had to go in the living room for family scripture reading and prayer because the younger kids were going to bed! Seriously - I might have to drop him off there every night at 8. Hahaha. I love that those are the friends he is choosing. That he is finding his place and figuring out who he is. I look forward to seeing what kind of man he turns in to. Stay tuned....I think it will be good!

I cannot believe how old he is now. He is such a handsome young man and a good egg. I still think of him in the Johnny jump up! Still a cutie. I fear you are going to have to worry more about girls than Jackson.
That is awesome Sandy! So glad it has been a good move for him. Thinking of you today. Worried about you guys!
Awesome! I am hoping the same thing for my boys.
