EIGHT IS GREAT!!!!!!!

LOOK WHO WAS BAPTIZED...

Jaxon turned 8 and chose to be a member of the church. He had Jaden baptize him and Ty confirm him. It was AWESOME!!!


However... I will say... there is nothing to prepare a mom for her oldest and youngest dressed in white baptism clothes and smiling from ear to ear. Then just when the mom thinks she has it together, they get in the font (still smiling) and proceed with the baptism. After which, the youngest proceeds to give the oldest a HUGE hug... just go ahead and break out the next box of tissues!!!!

Thanks to all of our family and friends (all 90 of you!!) who came to support Jaxon.
WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Jaxon!!

Jaxon had his birthday last week... here was the look on his face when he got his BIG present.
A LACROSSE GOAL NET!!

He is almost as tall as the box!!

Jaxon LOVES Funyons. Probably more than anything in this world... so he asked for 3 bag for his birthday.


It's a tradition in our house that when you turn 8 and become a cub scout, you get a pocket knife...


and of course... BREAKFAST IN BED!!!!!!!

HaPpY bIrThDaY jAxMaN!!!!!!!
