Catching Up: Finally
January was a busy month with lots going on. I have been meaning to blog, but life has just got in the way. I was sick in bed with pneumonia for 2 weeks, so I am finally updating this blog after nearly 2 months of craziness!

This year we did one party for both of the boys. They have the same friends, so why have 2 parties 1 week apart. I think these are the biggest cupcakes I have ever seen! Costco special.
Aunt Lisa gave us this fun birthday stuff for Christmas this year and everyone was so excited to finally be able to use it.

Is this a happy boy or what?

Braxton turned 8 this year so he had a lot of special things happen in January. The first thing was that he got to start scouts. This is a huge deal and he has been thrilled and got his bobcat patch in two weeks. I realized that I am going to be a scout expert by the time my four boys are grown. Yeah for scouts!!

The second and more exciting thing for Braxton was that he finally got to be baptized. He has been looking forward to this for months! I am so proud of him for choosing the right. He has a solid litle testimony and is a great example for his brothers and sister.


We had an awesome weekend! We were blessed to have my whole family, and almost all of Ricky's family come for this special day; we were only missing one family from Ricky's side. Braxton felt so much love and support from everyone. It was a wonderful and very special day for our family.

We took Braxton to the temple and made some goals with him. There is truly no greater thing than to know that my children walk in truth. As we were walking into the temple I felt like yelling to everyone, that this is my little boy and he just got baptized; of course I refrained as we were on the temple grounds. What a day!
