At the beginning of the month all of our family came into town for Jaxson's baptism. It was such a special day and it was nice to be able to share it with family and friends. Jaxson is such a great kid and had been looking forward to this day since his birthday. He was so happy to see all his family and friends that came to support him on his special day. Thanks to everyone for coming out and sharing this day with us.The baptism was a special day but the excitement did not stop there. On Sunday Carter woke up in the middle of the night saying his stomach hurt. He seemed fine when he woke up in the morning and ate and played so I thought the worst was over. He woke again the next night and then Monday morning at 11 he started with a stomach ache again. This time the pain did not go away and kept getting worse till I finally took him into the doctor. It ended up that he needed to get his appendix removed so we ended up having emergency surgery Monday evening. It actually worked out pretty well my mom was still in town to help with the kids so that was one less worry. Carter recovered very well and is now back to his energetic self.

Jaxson Turns 8

This post is a little late, but I figured better late then never. Jaxson turned 8 a couple of weeks ago. We had his party at the bowling alley and the kids had so much fun. Even some of the adults got in on the action and Logan loved it too. He started scouts and I could not resist putting the picture of him in his scout outfit he looks so big. He is the best kid he is always willing to help me. He loves to play with Payton and Logan and is very responsible. He does well in school and loves learning about Sharks and Reptiles. He loves to come home and tell us all about his day. Jaxson is such a fun kid and even though it is hard to watch him grow up it is so much fun to see the person he is becoming.

A Trip with Logan

Logan and I got to take a trip to California to go to my cousins wedding. It was so much fun to spend some time with just him. He also had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa. I think he enjoyed getting so much attention. He is such a great baby and it was so nice to be able to spend so much time with just him.

This week the kids all started school. Jaxson actually got to start school twice since he moved to a different school on Wednesday. They are all loving school even though both boys were a little nervous to go somewhere new. Payton is also enjoying preschool and really loves her new backpack. She takes her backpack every where and gets very upset when the boys get to go to school and she doesn't.

Carter's Birthday

Carter turned 6 on Thursday. He had his birthday party at Chuck E Cheese which he has begged us for every year since he was 4. On the morning of his birthday he got to open a few presents. When he got to my mom present he opened it up and said "yeah church humans". He loves playing with action figures and recently is very into all the stories in the Book of Mormon so this was a great present. Carter is a great kid he is very easy going he loves playing with friends, but can also entertain himself for hours. He is very imaginative and loves to make up stories about all his hunting excursions. He is very kind and always willing to help his brothers and sister. He loves telling jokes and making everyone laugh. He also refers to himself as Mr. Carter which makes us all laugh. He is such a fun kid and he makes me laugh almost everyday we are lucky to have him in our family.

A Visit from Cousins

Julie and the kids came for a visit and it was so great to see everyone. It had been such a long time it was amazing how much the kids had grown. The kids all loved swimming and playing together. We can't wait to see everyone again the kids are still talking about their cousins and can't wait to play with them.

California

The kids and I were at my parents house for a couple of weeks and they had so much fun. They love going to all the parks and even the zoo. The boys got to go to work with Grandma and ride the go kart and they were both so excited about that. It was so nice to be able to spend some time at my parents. The kids love playing with their cousins and they also love spending time with Grandma and Grandpa.
