13 years ago...

...I answered an add in the newspaper for a position as a nanny. This cute lady, Wendy, answered the door. Her and her husband, Dart, entrusted me with their two sweet boys, Kody age 6, and Logan age 14 months. (that is the current age of MY baby!) It was definitely one of the best things that ever happened too me. They took my in as one of their family. I quickly got the nickname Nanny Manny. So moving on with the story...

...this cute little six year old......has turned into this nineteen year old young man and is leaving tomorrow on his mission to Capetown, South Africa. This is truly a great story. This awesome family have always been members of the LDS church, but haven't been active. Kody decided during his senior year to start going to church and then decided he wanted to go on a mission. He turned down two full ride baseball scholarships to go. I am so proud of the man he has become.

I did not realize that you were a nanny. That is so cool that you were able to meet up with the family and see Kody before he leaves for his mission.

How exciting that you got to see him before he left! Does it trip you out that he's all grown up?
