A Different Kind of Hop

Good morning, friends (new & old)!

My blog is typically dedicated to my stamping passion, but today I am going to be sharing something a little bit different.  I hope you will join the fun and be encouraged!

A few months back I stumbled on a blog called MOB Society....MOB stands for Mothers of Boys.  Being a mother to three boys, this blog intrigued me, so I read on and I have been reading on ever since :).  This blog is full of encouragement for us MOBs, plus it's packed with plenty of fun stories, giggles and resources, too.  If you have a son or more than one son, I invite you to check it out.  You won't be sorry!

The MOB Society Blog is holding it's annual Boy Mom Blog Hop and it starts today!  I thought it would be fun to participate to not only help spread the word about this fabulous blog, but also to tell YOU a bit about MY amazing boys :).  The pictures are not all current (which you can tell by my varying hairstyles), but they are some of my favorites, so I wanted to share them with you....and maybe brag on them, just a little ;)...

I'll start with my oldest.....

This is Aston.  He's 14 and he is a leader.  He has a fabulous sense of humor and LOVES to make people laugh.  He is often found in the center of the action (which is often his youth group laughing their heads off or goofing around).  Aston has a knack for working with his hands and although he isn't a big fan of school or reading because he prefers doing something more active, he is VERY smart.  He has grown a great deal this past year, physically but also spiritually and I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store for him.  I am so proud to be his mother.

This is Aidan.  He's 12 and he is a tenderhearted encourager.  He loves learning and always strives to do his best.  He loves cooking and computers and, like his brother, has a great sense of humor.  When we are together I often find myself giggling at the funny things he says.  He's not the rowdy kind of boy, but he does enjoy swimming and wants to start playing soccer this fall at his small Christian school.  This past year his teacher nominated him for the Jr. National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. He also earned the citizenship award, which was another exciting achievement. I am so proud to be his mother.

This is Evan.  He's 9 and he is a fireball of energy!  He doesn't like to sit still for very long and he always keeps us on our toes.  He loves telling others about Jesus and wants to be a missionary when he grows up.  He also has a fabulous sense of humor and says some of the funniest things I have ever heard come out of a young child.  He loves making new friends and is very good at it.  He just learned how to swim, which he is quite excited about and he can't wait for school to start again so he can see his friends ;).  I am so proud to be his mother.

Well, there you have it---my boys, my joys.
