Sunday stories

I haven't posted on here in over a year. So many things have happened but there is no way to get caught up so I'll just start again (and hopefully be better at it - for the whole 2 -maybe- that read it).
At church, since my wife is the children's chorister, I get to have my youngest with me for all my meetings. Today during Sunday School, since he will not sit still anymore, we walked around the building - well I followed wherever he decided that he wanted to go. Right before Priesthood we went into the gym and I had a little ball in my pocket so I put it down and kicked it to him. He was so excited that he chased it down and then kicked it himself. He then proceeded to be a little soccer player and would kick and chase it for a few times then pick it up and throw it and chase it down again for another round of kicking.
Bedtime has gone through many ups and downs since our schedule has been quite crazy but tonight we said family prayer when son#2 went to bed and then we had a little bit of time before son#1 went down. After we brushed his teeth and were heading into bed, he climbed into bed and looked at me and said "Daddy, I wanna say prayer so snakes don't get me in my bed." So we kneeled down and I asked him to say it.
"Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you. Please bless me to be safe. Please bless me to be brave. In name Jesus Christ, Amen."
We have said prayers before to be brave and safe and to help him sleep but it is usually me coaching him. But every now and then he just comes off with these perfect prayers and has the faith that Heavenly Father and Jesus will keep him safe.
I love the faith of a child and now completely understand why we need to become as a child and have the faith, love, and complete trust. I am so grateful for the blessings of the gospel in my life. It brings such a comfort as a father to know what I need to teach my boys and that I'm not alone but can turn to God with anything that I need help on. Mormon.com is an amazing resource to answer questions and help anyone searching for the truth.

Monthly update...

I still don't have internet at home and its hard to be able to blog at work. I'm hoping to get internet soon but we'll see. I am really enjoying my new job. I get to go to Canada to train next week and I am stoked about that. My wife and my son are going to visit my family while I'm away. I'm really sad that my family lives so far away and we don't get to see them that often. More than me not being able to see them I feel bad that my son doesn't get to know his grandparents that much. I worried about that before we had kids. I'm closer to my mom's parents than I am to my dad's. I really want my kids to know and love to visit my parents too, so I'm glad that they get to go spend time with my family even though I won't be there. I'm still here, still alive, still kicking - for anyone that might be following this... don't know who but you never know.

I love it when you call me big PAPA!

I'm sorry I haven't posted this sooner but its been a crazy 2 weeks. This is him! This is my oldest son. This picture was taken a few days ago so he was about a week and a half old at this point. He was born Feb 13th at 7:45pm. Came via c-section cause he was 9 lbs 15 oz and didn't want to come the "normal" way. He is the most perfect, adorably baby ever. I'll try and post more pictures later.

The BIG announcement...

Update: ITS A BOY!!!!!! According to the ultrasound everything is going well and the baby looks great! It is a boy and we are very excited. Takeing votes and name suggestions. We are thinking about a few but are still open to suggestions. If we don't choose your name don't be offended, we just didn't like it that much. ;-)
Either that or we liked another one better.
