Afton is super sweet & sensitive. He is almost always happy. And is a great big brother ! He is really good to play with Linkin & Rylynn & to play what they would want to play. He is getting to be a great reader. He reads a few verses from the Book of Mormon with us everynight, & gets most of the words! He is super at math , too. He is very loving & cuddly. I love when he signs "I love you too." or says " Peace out " as he is leaving. He has a great smile that always makes me so happy. I am so lucky to be his mom.

This is a bulletin board my Dad helped me make. Or really that he made for me. I love it. It fits perfectly in my kitchen & is great for helping me to remember all we have going on with 6 kids. April was super busy with Troy helping his Mom move out here from California, spring break, Becky & Jackie's visits with their kids , Easter, Afty's birthday, Addy's baptism & Matt , Dacia & their family coming for a visit also. But we had a great month! We had so much fun spending time with family & making fun memories.
