Happy Birthday to Ryan Alexander Wilcox!!! I remember that day you charged into this world very clear. I was listening to William Joseph and every time the song crescendo/decrescendo-ed, my contractions would follow suit and your Grandma Howard and dad thought it was hilarious.....I wasn't so amused. I love you Ryan! Thank you for being in my life:)
Now I have a 6yr old and a 5yr old. New challenges and new things we will learn......

Bad news....
Yesterday, my mom received a phone call from my Aunt saying my cousin's son, Jacob, had been killed in an automobile accident. Massive head trauma and they had to cut the driver's side door to get him out. He was T-boned and pretty much killed instantly. He is sorely missed. What a talent! He was 20yrs old and played the drums for the University of Utah, had amazing skill in the yo-yo, and he could etch almost anything in an etch a sketch pad. He had a brilliant mind :) The best thing about Jacob was that he always tried to stay positive even in a negative situation. We love you and miss you Jake!! At least he had a good welcoming party with my dad and brother greeting him on the other side:)

Happy times, Fun times, and Learning times
Starting a week ago, Andrew got tested to see if he could skip K and go to 1st grade. He did so well that there was no question in the school's mind why he wouldn't be aloud to skip. So good thing number one, Andrew gets to start 1st grade on Monday!!! AAAHHHH! That is crazy to think........
Good thing number two happened that night. After work I spent time with my children and then got them to bed. There was an Institute dance that night that a few from the single's ward were going to meet up there. One other was there til about the last hour of the dance. During the dance I kept thinking about Spencer and how nice it would be to get to dance with him and teach him how to dance too( he can't dance:) ) . I messaged him since I knew he was working that day/ night, and told him that he should come after he got off. He didn't reply for awhile and so I didn't think much of it until he asked where it was. Then about 30mins later he showed up!! SURPRISE! We spent the rest of the night together, ping pong mostly, and I taught him how to dance the box step waltz. It was so cute:) After the dance was over we played more ping pong till they kicked us out and then he walked me to my car. I noticed his motorcycle and took a look at it. Nice bike he has! He asked if I had gone on a ride before on one and I told him only about three times. He then proceeded to ask if I would like to go for a ride. "I would love to!"( calm yet excited voice). It had rained a little bit so right before I sat down he said oh, just a second like he likes to say before being a gentleman and sat down on the seat so to take the main wetness and dry the seat off. So sweet and thoughtful! Then handed me the helmet and said this is for you, with a smile on his face :) So cute!! After the ride, he almost forgot to give me my car keys. I guess he didn't want me to leave:) Will keep you posted on what happens with him and my dating life, which isn't much but at least it's starting.
And good thing number three was that I took my boys up and over to Park City at our timeshare for most of this week. Andrew and Ryan both have improved on their swimming skills and next summer I am going to enroll them in a swimming class. I have discovered that the things I thought Ryan wouldn't be scared of doing, he is and the things that I thought Andrew would be scared, he isn't. He has started to plug his nose and hold his breathe under water for a few seconds. Fun times. And who could forget the drama's that came every morning for no reason. It didn't matter what was said or going on, Ryan could be triggered in seconds. (Hopefully we were able to find a way to cut that down this morning) We did get to go to the Olympic park, Tanger outlet for shopping and playing at the playgrounds they have in the middle, and swam twice. They love swimming. We were miraculously able to get home with an hour to spare before I needed to go to work yesterday. Well, off to bed so I can get up for work in the morning. :) Will post pictures another time.
