Hyrum

Hyrum is getting so much older and really growing into his own person.  It is exciting and heartwarming. Today we were playing at one of the boys' favorite parks and Hyrum was swinging on the swings.  He looked very contemplative for a moment and said, "My brain is telling me to slow down, but my heart is telling me to go higher"  after another few swings he decided: "I guess I should go really fast for a little bit and then go really slow."  His mind is always working and he says the cutest things.  

He really loves his bus driver that drives the Kindergartners home in the afternoon.  He is the nicest Grandpa that loves his retirement 'job'.  He knows all of the kids and they all just love him.  Today right before bedtime Hyrum told us that he needed to draw a picture for Richard (the driver) because he promised him he would.  He drew this picture of Richard and Hyrum holding hands in front of the bus. He said the bigger guy is Richard because he has a bigger belly:).  He put it in his backpack and then laid it down next to his shoes so that he wouldn't forget anything for school tomorrow.  I snuck it out so I could post it tonight.  It just made me smile.

This was another picture that amazed me for his creativity.  It is a haunted house he made for Halloween.  He said that each door on the house had different monsters and scary things behind them.  Ghosts came out of all the windows.  He is so creative and such a blessing in our family.
