Ethan's B-day and Baptism

Wow it has been quite the week around here, Ethan turned 8 last Tuesday, April 6th, and then he was baptized Sunday, April 11. I cannot believe that MY child was baptized on Sunday. I'm way too young to have an 8 year old... right? It was well worth feeling old to have such a beautiful day and special ordinance happen in Ethan's life. He had an interview with our Bishop, Bishop Crockett, a few weeks ago, and Bishop Crockett said that Ethan really understood what baptism meant. I love this age of 8! The buck teeth and everything. We were singing a song during scriptures today and Ethan's voice is so sweet and high, but it won't always be that way, he's growing up quick!!

Ethan opened one present when he woke up- it was a Bakugan and a Bakugan guide book.

Eli, Eth and mom. We are making a Bionicle cake for his friend party in a few weeks

Ethan's first scriptures! He was so excited, he took them to his first night of Scouts last Wed!

This one speaks for itself. Janie was having a rough day.

Grandpa LaClaire confirmed Ethan as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I had to convince Ethan to let Curtis baptize him... he wanted Grumpy to do that too!
