Proud big Sister!

(for some reason this post was hiding at the bottom, I messed something up! I fixed the problem though)

Slade Moyle is officially a Utah Wrestling State champion! (the little brother) We are all so, so proud of him. We were so happy we were able to watch him this last week. He totally dominated. He is so talented. I love my little brother so much. If you knew anything about him, you would to.

He has overcome more then anybody I know......the day he was born he was life flighted to Primary children's Hospital. I don't remember how long he was there but I know my parents wrote letters. He was 1 years old when he fell out our back door, because my dad was building a knew porch, and had the old one torn out. (that explains the scar on the top of his forehead) When he was 2 or three he was attacked by a dog. (that explains the rest of the scars on his face) I remember my mom running him in to the house and sitting him on the table frantically, and that little stinker says "look mom" as he popped his tong out the side of his cheek. over 150 stitiches!

When he was a little older he was life flighted to Primary Children's hospital for the second time......this one was scary. He had fallen off the tramp and hit his head on the sidewalk. Nobody knew really what had happened. But by the time my parents took him to the hospital he didn't know who he was...His brain was internally bleeding, his neck was broken, and he had gone into a coma..Slade is our little miracle baby. Thanks to the power of the priesthood, he was the first child in the history of Primary Children's hospital to be released straight from the critical care unit!! They didn't even have papers for him.

My parents were told he would never be able to hold a job because of the damage in his brain.....Now years later there are no side effects, he has been on the honor role through out high school. Given over a dozen scholarships for being so darn outstanding, class president, an outstanding athlete, SOOO musically inclined, starting football quarterback for a few years now, and despite all his facial injury's, a very good lookin young man!! Slade was the only 10 year old I have known that would get up at five and go jogging, or go and practice for his sports??? I think the lord had/has big plans for him, as he does all of us. He has always been such a great kid to. I never have dared say inappropriate things around him. He is a great example. Only he could be the captain of a football team, in that type of environment, and still manage to help baptize 3 young men. One in which, Slade had the honor to baptize himself......

So, Good Work Little Brother you have earned all the great things you get!!

right after he won! I love this!

(olena taylor took these at Sate!)

All my brothers are wonderful! My other little brother, is serving a mission right now!! (the one in the center) He is doing one of the greatest sacrifices we can do here on earth. I thank him in every letter I write him! He is thriving out there. He is and always has been the biggest ray of sunshine you could ever meet..
I am so proud of these boys, and I hope my boys will follow in the examples of the great men in their lives!

The Baby Boy is Nine months old.....Bummer

Time with My little Knox Boo is going by so fast! I want to put him in a jar, and seal it, and make him never grow .....Can you tell I am having a little bit of a melt down.
He is a sweet heart. All the bad things I said about him in that previous post are not true (he was teething that post) He is getting SO FUNNY! He has got a huge personality! He is still so smart. He can walk about 6-10 steps at a time, but he will NOT try. He only does this when he is in a hurry and wants to get somewhere fast, and he thinks no one can see him. He is so so so very stubborn. He has tantrums like you would see a 13 year old girl have in the movies! It is HILARIOUS! Rye and I are so mean, we will try to provoke him just to see one!
He is so BIG... He is 18 month old clothes, and wears the same size of diaper has Holden. when ever Holden and I Say " Sho Sho" He flips out laughing hysterically. I have no idea why?? I dont think he does either. I love him.


Holden:
He is my best friend...He is such a good boy, and is so helpful. He takes such great care of his baby brother. He is such a great giving friend. He would give and share with anybody! He refuses to POTTY TRAIN! He is so high strung, and gets out of control when he is hyper, it drives me nuts. I think he really cant help it though, It is just his nature. He really tries to be good. He says his prayers all by himself. He loves his Heavenly Father already, it is so cute!
I've gotta update with his latest crazy remarks!

(this one is probably not to appropriate but I have gotta tell!)
He Brings me in a Tampon, and says " Hey mom, is this for my broken bum, is this for when my bum breaks?? or is it jus a wocket." (rocket)
HaHa! I had to call and tell Rye that one. I told him it was "jus a wocket" =)

He woke up in the middle of night when Rye was gone, and did my worst thing my kids do (sleep cry!) I couldn't calm him down and so I brought him in the bed with me. I couple minutes later he randomly says clear as day in his sleep. " hey you better just back off partner!" ......then about 10 seconds later........"dere's a Snake in my BOOT!" .....HAHA! He loves Woody from toy story! He is really convinced he is him.

Rye, and Portia-
We are doing great! We are actually moving again though, surprise surprise. We should hopefully be moving by the end of the month. I am exited to be closer to home.
I got called into the primary presidency....I was kinda nervous, but I think I will love it!
I have been training for a half Marathon, and have been so proud of myself for trying so haard. Rye is so great! I am so proud of him. He recently was asked by his work if he wanted to do his apprenticeship as an electrician at work! (How cool is that!) get paid to get a great skill. It is not what he has in mind as his career but we figure it would be a great thing for him to pick up while we are there.
I am sending the camera with him so I can do a post just about him. You would be AMAZED if you saw what he does. Anyway hope everyone is doing Good!
I have some cute pictures of Knoxy I will post later!

Sorry about the long/boring/way to long/post....for my own journaling.
