The Baptism

What a wonderful day. We were overwhelmed by all of the support and love we felt today.  I asked Talker at the end how he felt. He said, "I feel GREAT!" That's the best! Thank you to everyone who participated in any way!

I love his smile! He was SO excited!

Sweet. Dad gave him a kiss on the cheek after the confirmation and he wiped it off as he shook hands with the other brethren. *tee hee*

I love this. I can almost hear what he's saying. "Can I tell you something?" (It's his most used sentence.) He always has something or other to tell you.

He is so happy to be getting baptized. What a happy day.

He is SO adorable! I can't decide which to put on the front of his Baptism Program.

Hmmmm...... maybe a collage.

Talker's 8th Birthday

For my Talker's 8th Birthday he decided he wanted to go to Chuck-E-Cheese. We went... a bit reluctantly, but everyone had a surprisingly great time!

He hit the jackpot on one of the games. Whahoo!

Being that he didn't really want any of the cheesy prizes, he allowed his brothers to share all his tickets. What a great big brother!

Talk about cheesy! Look at that great grin! Gotta love it!

Guess who ran out of tokens first? Yep! His brothers were great about sharing with him until everyone ran out. Yea for good sharing brothers!

Taking on the machines Team Style! Yea boys!

Skee ball is his favorite. He's pretty dang good at it too.

EATING THE TOKENS!?! (With a photobomber, of course.)

I'm pretty sure we were the oldest people in the whole place. I don't FEEL that old.

We ended the day having dinner and FHE with the Elders, and of course, cake and ice-cream.

Making his wish. (He almost said it aloud, but everyone stopped him.)

He was very specific about his cake. "I need a rainbow cake, with a big M on it." I got the big M part.

And he loved the rainbow part too. :D

Happy Birthday Talker!
