you've got to be kidding!

I wonder if anyone even bothers to look at my blog anymore. I am so bad at this. Well, truth is that I have started another blog but it's incognito. I am writing my story and I am just not ready to share it with anyone who knows Mike and I. anyway, this blog suffers. I love reading everyone else's blogs though.
today i have a fun surprise when I went to primary and my friend asked me if I would take her class. OHHHHHHHHNOOOOO! I am such a wimp. But they were cute and it went fine except for my one little guy who was off the walls with this new audience. At one point I nicely took his arm and said "you are bouncing." He looked at me like "DUUUUHHH." He loves me though. two weeks ago we had a lesson on saying thank you. I had them each make a thank you card to give to someone. he kept asking me what color I like and which stickers were my favorite. One little boy gave his to the Bishop (who was being released the next week), one gave his to his mom and the little girl gave hers to her dad. Ethan asked me if I could please come by his house later that day. When I went his mom answered and asked me to have a seat as he wasn't quite ready. When he was ready he came into the room and handed me a wrapped package. I unwrapped it and there was the card with his favorite pencil taped to it.
The wrap:






the pencil!!! Skeletons and skulls!!!




The envelope










The card



(That's me teaching the 4 kids in my class the lesson on saying thank you.)
He threw his arms around me and asked his mom to take a picture!
How can you not be touched by that???
