It has been toooo long since my last post. I got sucked into facebook which it totally addicting, but so much fun! Anyways, we've had 2 birthdays and a baptism to report on!
Scott's 8th birthday was February 6th. I can't believe he's 8. It doesn't seem so long ago when he was just a baby saying, "appy, appy, appy" (that's how he said happy...he'd say it over and over and over....it was the cutest thing ever!) I'm coming to the realization that whether or not I like it, he's growing up and I need to relinquish some control and allow him to make his own decisions and feel the weight of those consequences whether they are good or bad. Anyways...back to him........He had a good birthday. I brought him Chick-Fil-A for lunch at school and then he passed out cupcakes to his classmates. After dinner we sang happy birthday, had Cold Stone Cupcakes, and he opened his birthday presents. We kept it low key as to keep the emphasis on his decision to be be baptized.
Scott was baptized February 8th at 2:30pm by his daddy. It was the sweetest experience. His Uncle Randall gave a talk on baptism and his grandpa Tingen spoke on the Holy Ghost. Todd confirmed Scott a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and Scott was given the gift of the Holy Ghost. The words that were spoken during the confirmation blessing were beautiful and the spirit filled the room. As it ended, Scott had a couple of tears in his eyes as he shook the hand of those in the circle. Grandpa Wade gave a heartfelt closing prayer and after that, Scott was weeping. His arms were clutched around my neck holding me as tight as he could. "Scott, are you upset about something?" I asked. He just shook his head no still weeping. "Are you just happy?" I asked. A nod in affirmation. "Are you feeling the spirit?" I asked. He responded with "Yes!" There is no doubt that he was in fact feeling the spirit and was touched by it. Later on that night when I tucked him into bed he said, "Mom, it is so cool to have the spirit!" Yes it is!!!
Haley Monster!
January 5th Haley turned 2. She is our fire ball of personality. She enjoyed celebrating her birthday with her grandparents. She is so funny! She's talking so well and cracks us up with the things he says and does. The other day she threw the dog's rope and said "Maxy run!!" She loves her dog!!! The other day Katelynn came home from school with these lips that sound like a kazoo when you blow into them. Haley got a hold of them and I thought I'd die laughing! She would try to blow so hard and yet the lips would make just the slightest sound. Here are some pictures that I took.
I walked into the playroom the other day to find her playing "nite nite" in her doll's crib.
She makes my days interesting!
