Kyson's second surgery (the Glenn) was one year ago yesterday. That means today we can celebrate being surgery free for one whole year! Kyson has come so far this year...we all have actually! I feel so very blessed.
Thursday I had the priviledge of attending the funeral service of Ethan Skidmore. I have to say that I was so impressed by his parents. His mother gave his life story and his father spoke also. I just don't know if I would have the ability to do that at my own son's funeral. They did a very good job and the Spirit was very strong in that room.
I was so grateful for this opportunity because it gave me a renewed apprecition for my children. I am deeply grateful for them but sometimes I just forget. I get busy with life and forget to appreciate and love my children like I should. We have been blessed beyond measure this past year to have Kyson doing so well and to be able to do many things together as a family.
Last night we had the adult session of stake conference in our stake. One of the speakers gave some wonderful advice that I would like to make a goal for myself. For every one thing you see you children doing wrong, find at least ten good things they are doing right and praise them for those things! I know I am guilty of only pointing out the things my children are doing wrong rather then focusing on the things they are doing right.
Here are a couple pictures of my sweet boys:

Happy Glenn-i-versary to Kyson! I can't believe a year \has already flown by, what a special gift Kyson is and I am so grateful to have him in our family. Love you guys!
Wow, isn't it crazy how fast the year goes by!! I was so sad to miss the services for Ethan... Owen was entirely too sick to leave. I heard they were perfect.
I love the message from stake conference.. it's so true. I try to praise Kamryn over and over and over again, but I know I get on her for silly things, like dilly-dallying when we're trying to get to school on time. When you look at the BIG picture, it's so silly really.
I love the pictures of the boys.. adorable!! Kyson looks so great!!!
Your boys are adorable!! I stumbled across your blog and it caught my eye with the 'hrhs' I don't know many babies that have that. Our baby girl is having the Glen in 13 days, she now has a small right ventricle, ebsteins anamoly and a vsd. They are watching how the right side grows but they may end up getting rid of its use, making her hrhs in a sense i guess. I'm still learning! I notice you are from AZ. We have become great friends with Angel Jake and Angel Jerseys families, do you know them? I would love to talk more if you want to contact me at mindidixon@msn.com or libbisblog.blogspot.com. :)
