Birthday #9

I can not believe I was so busy that I some how didn't post about RTC's birthday that was in DECEMBER?!?!?

He had the traditional birthday pancakes! Scott really enjoys

this part of the birthday…these happen regardless of the day

of the week the actual birthday falls on. 

Then we had a few friends come to Bart Conner's Gym for some jumping, sliding, & all out fun!!!









I apologize to our son - maybe next year when I'm not taking as many hours online I will post sooner!!!

Baptism

That old adage of "time sure flies when you're having fun" is truer than I would like.  When I was handed a tiny baby back in 2004 whose skin appeared to be clinging to his tiny frame 8 years seemed like a lifetime away.

Here are a few pictures of the day RTC chose to be baptized.

 

 

In our church we don't baptize babies; a child must be 8 years old. We are thrilled he made the decision on his own. We were so fortunate to be able to share the experience with his friend who is 6 days younger than him. These boys are so amazing in my book & I'm so grateful they have each other to help each other on their way to becoming honorable young men.

 

We were also grateful that family & friends traveled from near and far to make it an extra special day for both of them! Each one had a grandmother give a talk & we sang songs that were favorites of the boys. We couldn't have asked for a better way to start the holidays!
