Jayden turned 8 in March! And he definitely thinks it's GREAT TO BE 8! He was baptized along with three of his friends! It was an amazing day! He has awesome friends! It was great to surronded by family for the day! We were excited to have Great Grandpa Jackson and Pappa stand as witnesses as Jay baptized Jayden. Great Grandpa Jackson is suffering from Alzheimers. He was having a great day and was proud to be a witness. We are glad to have this great memory with him. After the baptism we all went to Famous Dave's for a celebration lunch. Jayden wanted to go to Timpanaki but they were closed. What a special day for Jayden!

It's Great to be 8!

I must be CRAZY!

OK, I must be crazy! I definitely must be since I am now finally willing to admit it! I am a full time working mom, 2nd counselor in R/S, and decided this semester to go back to school. YIKES! How dumb can one (me) be! I hope I am only second guessing myself today because I have a test tonight and then a lab test and a lab paper due tomorrow! And, here I am blogging................! I really hope Jay doesn't read this blog! :)

Great Neighbors

I love our neighborhood! We just moved in at the beginning of the year and have been just waiting for good weather. Yes, it is June and we are still waiting.............. Even though still chilly, the kids decided that it was time to get out and have some fun with our neighbors! The created a fun little flyer that they took around to any house where they knew (or at least thought they knew) where kids lived and invited them all to come play night games! It was a blast! We had about 20 kids there and some parents too! We all learned how to play kick the can! Thanks to Kenyon! We can't wait to do it again!

We're Almost there!

Here's a little bit of what our crazy daze have been filled with! We are finally starting to wrap up for the season!

Jayden just loves soccer which just ended last week! He was on an awesome team and can't wait for the fall season to start. Jayden's team is undefeated and he gets to play with his best friends - which he has many! He loves to play forward as he likes to score (plus he gets paid for each goal) but often plays goalie as he doen't let anything past him! Jayden just wrapped up his baseball season too. The stats there were not nearly as impressive but he loves it! This was his first year in kid pitch and was so afraid of being hit. It took awhile for him to be confident in the batters box but when he gained his confidence, he was hitting like crazy! He would play 3rd base or left field. He really preferred 3rd as he saw more action! It's awesome watching him improve! At home he's always outside (weather permitting as it's still yucky and its June!), playing some sort of sport. His goal in life is to be the next David Beckham! He's definitely a cutie - we'll have to see how his soccer skills come along!

Kyrsten also is quite the littel soccer player. She is on an awesome team only losing one game. She is just as excited about the fall season starting! She love to play any position as well and is also an awesome goalie - although she would prefer to be scoring! Kyrsten just finished her final dacne recital for the season! She took a beginning Hip Hop and Jazz class this year! She did amazing! She has a lot of tumbling experience and was able to use it in dance! Next year she plans to be on a show team! Kyrsten loves to be in the spot light! SHe will perform for anyone anywhere! Her goal is to be the next Disney superstar!

Punk & Bug

How cute! Wouldn't it be nice if they were always this happy when together?!?!? I swear, one second they are all smily and have a great time and the next the are fighting like cats and dogs. Last night, we got home late from Punk's dance recital. I wasn't feeling well (I was hit hard with strep). They were being all cute and having fun together as we got ready for bed - lauging and giggling! Then, just as I fell asleep, Bug comes in crying to tell me that Kyrsten is being mean........... Next thing I know both of them are crawling into my room to sleep. Not what I needed feeling the way I did. Oh well, at least I got to sleep in. Besides, Jay takes them to their room when he get home!!
