Eight is Great

I can not believe the I am the mother of an eight year old. Ethan has been so excited to turn eight and be baptized. He asked me if he could just turn eight get baptized and then never grow up after that. If it only worked like that. Ethan has really been preparing to be baptized and I know that it was something that he wanted to do. A few months ago he walked by a picture of the prophet in our house and said Mom whenever I walk by that picture I feel the spirit. This is Ethan with his cute friends Thai and Sawyer. Ethan got to go to their baptisms in November.
Ethan was very excited to follow the Savior's example and get baptized.

Doesn't he look handsome in is suit.

Ethan is now an official Cub Scout. He is so cute in his uniform and he wears it with pride.
Ethan had a pajama birthday party. Everyone wore their pj's and stayed over really late (9pm) that is late for a second grader. I don't have pictures but the best part of the party was the glow in the dark dance party. We gave everyone finger flashlights and glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces. We turned the lights out and the kids danced and danced and danced.




Ethan got sweet new rollerblades for his birthday. He is actually quite good on them. Following in his father's footsteps.

Brody got to help make the cupcakes for Ethan's party. He was a fantastic helper as you can see.
