A great Sunday

Wow, it's almost the end of November. I can't believe it!
Halloween was good this year. The kids had a lot of fun. We took them to some houses around here and then to Moroni to see cousins and Marian & Tracy. Wylie just went as a cowboy, Ryland was Wolverine, Kaylese was a pirate, Tyrik was very excited to be Captain America, Aynslee was Rapunzel or Tangled, and Baylor was a minion.
With Ryland playing football this year and then starting accelerated bball before it ended, it about did me in. He played every night one week and then Wylie played Saturday that week. It was too much!  I survived though. Wylie & Ryland's coaches on accelerated Basketball have not played them that much until this Saturday. Spencer talked to Wylie's coach & I talked to Ryland's. Thankfully they listened. Ryland played some and for the first time, Wylie got to play most of the game. He played very well. I was happy for him and proud of him. I have been very proud of Ryland's attitude since basketball started. He cheers his teammates on, is happy and positive even though he doesn't get played as much as others. That makes me happy and proud of him. I really enjoy watching both of them play.
So last Sunday was Wylie's birthday. Yes, I am sad to say I have a teenager :( I can't belive he has grown up so fast. He really is such a great kid. He has been more forgiving and patient with me than I could ask for. I have to say I have already started to see some changes in him. I wish he would just stay little. SIGH... He got to go ride motorbikes with his cousins for two days in a row, then we had a party for him Sunday. Then he went to Mom & Dad Slades for the night lastnight. He got two pair of boots (one for farm & one for riding) Then he got a hoodie and $$ and goggles and even a chest plate for riding his motorbike. He is very happy and grateful. The kids had their primary program on that day too. It was such a great program.
Today was probably the most I have felt the Spirit in one day for a long time. It was so great. The talks were on the atonement and on marriage. I felt like I gave a descent lesson, and then in Relief Society we talked about why we have a church and different women talked about why they come. It was great. I am so grateful for the Spirit.
I am very grateful for my sweet family. I love my Heavenly Father so much. Until next time. :)
