As parents Lane and I have always strive to teach our children correct principals. But I must say Laney is too good. I always joke to people that Laney is too good for Lane and I. Laney amazes me with is understanding of the gospel. He catches on to things that I don't. Last thanksgiving Laney went on a no caffeine campaign. He asked Lane and I to stop drinking Diet Coke. He was so sincere. I can proudly say Lane and I have switched to caffeine free Diet Coke all thanks to Laney. Laney is always finding ways to choose the right. One Sunday Lane came home from church all upset. I asked him why he was sad. He said Mom a girl in my class made fun of my favorite President (Good o' honest Abe) She said he was dumb. I told Laney to tell her she was just jealous and she was dumb for thinking that. Then Laney looked at me with bewilderment in his eyes and said Mom if I said that to her wouldn't that be putting her down like she did to me. I felt like crap. I cant believe he said that. I was so touched. Last night we were doing out nightly family scripture study we read one chapter a night. We got through our chapter and Laney begged us to read one more. I had to pick myself off the ground! He said Dad don't stop. I'm really getting into this story. I was so proud. Laney I look up to you. Thank you for being so sweet. You are such a wonderful example to your Mom and Dad. Don't ever change!
