Awesomeness

No, not me, although I did do an awesome Hoedown Throwdown at recital! No, I'm thinking about how awesome my children are sometimes and I never expect it. I took Chase to football practice on Saturday, and right when we got in the parking lot, he told me he had to go to the bathroom really bad. (his stomach was upset) So I turned the car around and was going to take him, but at the end of the parking lot, he said kinda thoughtfully, "I'll be okay." So I took him back and didn't think too much about it. It started snowing about halfway through, so he came and sat in the car to get warm. I asked him if he was okay, and he said, "Yeah, I said a prayer when I went out there." I just about started crying. Even I didn't think to tell him that, he did it all on his own. I am so happy my kids know they can count on their Heavenly Father! Lately Hannah has been having some friend trouble. I know from experience it is hard to stand up to your friends when they behave in ways that make you feel bad about yourself. But Hannah has been so amazing. She actually tells her friends that until they quit acting the way they do, she would rather not hang out with them. Now that takes courage! I can't take any of the credit, but I sure am proud.
