It made me happy!So, so happy!!!
As a mother, I think a positive self esteem is one of THE most important things I want to instill in my children.
President James E. Faust, in a talk on the subject, said this:
"It (self esteem) is born of inner peace and strength.
Self-esteem goes to the very heart of our personal growth and accomplishment. It is the glue that holds together our self-reliance, our self-control, our self-approval or disapproval and keeps all self-defense mechanisms secure. It is a protection against excessive self-deception, self-distrust, self-reproach, and plain old-fashioned selfishness."
I love this boy.
He really and truly is an awesome kid!
He is kind. Generous. Helpful. Patient. Loving. Hard working. An Excellent student. A math wiz. A talented pianist. A great soccer player. He has a thirst for knowledge. He has a quick wit and a funny sense of humor. He has a soft heart and a strong desire to make good choices.
So in one word....
AWESOME!
Yes, "Awesome Zac" is very fitting.
This reminded me that I never did a post about Zac's 11th birthday!

In keeping with tradition, we celebrated Zac's birthday with an overnight stay at a fun resort.He chose the Arizona Grand and we did indeed have a GRAND time!
We enjoyed a yummy dinner at Rustler's Rooste.A fun, cowboy steakhouse with a slide entrance, beautiful views of the valley,
and a live band and dance floor.
They brought a pail of cotton candy to the birthday boy.

This picture makes me laugh...See Luke's mouth being covered so he doesn't blow out the candles?
Oh and Amber B. -- Zac requested Oreo Brownies for his birthday cake :)
The kids and I stayed all day long and played, and played, and played some more. I didn't get very many pictures though because Dave had to leave early that morning so I was flying solo.(He was invited to attend a special meeting for bishops and stake presidents with Elder Neal L. Anderson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He was pretty excited and thought it was really neat. Bummer about the timing though, because we missed him.)
I love youAWESOME Zac!!
