Turning 8... entering the gate.

I love being a mother and I love watching my children grow. I especially love my Adam. He is a noble spirit in a little man's body but as the days pass his tabernacle is catching up with man that lies within him. His desires for righteousness lie near the surface and span to his inner core. He has the gift of a strong mind. His love for reading has already proved to be a tremendous blessing in his life. He recalls random facts and I am finding he knows more on certain subject than I do. He is a natural nurturer and the desire to love each of his brothers is evident every day. He favors none, but loves everyone equally and shows his love often. This is a soul that was saved for this day. I love him and I look up to him. I want to be able to love as freely and as purely as he does some day. It is a gift to have a child that I aspire to be like. It has often been said that our children are our greatest teachers. That they are.

Adam was baptized on March 24th, 2012 by his father Jonathan E. Jenson. It was a beautiful baptism. We were thankful to have had Grandma and Grandpa Jenson and Aunt Wendy make the efforts to join us for his baptism. Jonathan and Grandpa Jenson spoke and Adam picked his two favorite songs, "Scripture Power" and "Praise to the Man" to be sung at his baptism. We were thankful for a beautiful day and for our Savior Jesus Christ that lived a life of perfection and showed us a way to follow.
