Hair Cuts

I cut the boys' hair today. Thaddeus almost cried while I was buzzing Grant's hair. When it was his turn he was very reluctant until I showed him the scissors. Then while cutting his hair he kept saying, "Don't cut my nose, okay?" Then Grant informed him that he should be worrying about his ears so he started saying, "Don't cut my ears, okay?" The kid thought I was going to cut him all over I guess. I don't know where he learned to fear me and scissors together? Maybe his therapist in 20 years can figure it out :)

Grace's Primary Program

This is a post for the grandparents. Grace participated in her first Primary Program today. She was so excited and she did so well! She was one of the few children who said her part all by herself, and she didn't even get nervous. After she said her part I looked at Grant and said, "It is amazing how much joy you can get out of your 4 year old saying a part in a primary program!!" And it is. Just goes to show what people are missing whochoose to not have children. :) Have a great Sunday! And, just like she says, I know we are blessed when we follow the prophet, what a great thought.

Grant the amazing!

Grant ran a 1/2 marathon yesterday, 13.1 miles. He trained for this same race last fall but he got sent away for work the exact weekend of the race so he never competed. So, this year he trained AGAIN and competed! He finished in 1:37:26. He finished 16th overall, 2nd in his age group and 12th for the men. Not too bad for an amateur!! He works hard and has a lot of determination. He is awesome!!

I forgot my camera but luckily there were some friends from the ward there who recognized him and snapped these pictures for us. He was running so fast that the 2nd picture is blurry! His average pace for the race was 7:26 miles! The first place guy had an average of 5 1/2 minute miles!! He was flying! (I couldn't run 1 mile that fast let alone 13!!)
