Aaron turned 12 on March 4th. Unfortunately, Andy and I flew to Orlando, FL, the same day, so Aaron had to wait a week before we could celebrate his birthday with his grandparents and before being ordained a Deacon and receiving the Aaronic priesthood. What a wonderful day it was!!! Aaron had his Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Kathy, Grandpa Mark and Grandma Linda, and Great-Grandpa and Grandma Lynn all there. Standing in the circle for his ordination were of course his dad who ordained him (also 2nd counselor in the Bishopric), Bishop Bennion, Syd Thompson (1st Counselor in the Bishopric), Grandpa Mark, Grandpa Jeff, and Great-Grandpa Bill Lynn. What a wonderful heritage Aaron has with so many worthy priesthood holders to teach him and show him how to be a worthy priesthood holder - to honor it and use it to serve others. Aaron such a wonderful young man and a great older brother to his siblings. He is kind and compassionate and always knows when I need a helping hand. He can sense when I need an extra set of hands to help out with Ashlee especially. I depend on him a lot especially for being a babysitter. I love that I can run the kids to their various activities and not have to drag everyone along. It is so weird when both he and Aidan have an activity. Sometimes I get in the car and realize that I have both my babysitters with me and can't leave the girls. Aaron and Aidan are best friends. I love that Aaron loves to be with Aidan and play with him. I hope they remain best friends for the rest of their lives! I can't believe that my baby boy is now 12 and can pass the sacrament. I am so blessed to be given the chance to be Aaron's mother! I love you, Bud!
