Graham turns 12!

Ah, my baby turned 12!  For his big day he got a face mask for when he has airsoft wars.  He wanted a BYU shirt which is amazing since he has worn red and black for as long as I can remember.  His birthday was on Conference Saturday so after early morning soccer games we drove to Brigham City during the morning session and listened in the car and then had his birthday lunch at Maddox.  Then we drove back home listening to the afternoon session.

Since Graham is now 12 he went to the Priesthood session with Jason and Richard.  They skipped Arctic Circle after and came home instead for birthday ice cream cake.  While they were at the Priesthood session Beck "accidentally" locked Lucy in the bathroom.  It would have been no big deal if we had one of those little straight key things to open the door, but we didn't.  I didn't start to panic until I realized she had a lego in there with her-CHOKING HAZARD!  After trying and trying to get her out I finally called reinforcements.  Pam.  She came with a purse full of gadgets, none of which opened the door.  By now Lucy is crying and I'm shoving treats under the door to her.  Pam had left her bathroom key at home so she ran back to get it as I listened to Lucy cry.  I tried a few more things while Pam was gone and when I couldn't take the crying any longer I called a locksmith.  Luckily when Pam got back her bathroom key worked so I was able to cancel the locksmith.  Whew.  Since then Beck has apologized numerous times for locking the door.

Graham was ordained a Deacon on Oct. 13th.  He did fast offerings after church in the pouring rain and came home soaking wet with a huge smile on his face.  Oct. 20th he passed the sacrament for the first time.  Oh man, they grow so fast!
