Oh to be Eight!

Last Saturday Jaden turned 8 years old! It does not seem like he is 8, nor does it seem like he was born 8 years ago. Sorry to say it again but how time flies.

When turning 8 in the LDS Faith comes the decision whether or not to be baptized. Jaden not only decided to be baptized but he was able to be baptized on the day of his birthday, October 3rd. We had a wonderful weekend with several family members coming to participate! Ben's parents came along with Ben's sister, Lisa, and her daughter, Ella. Natalie's parents came along with Natalie's sister, Lori, her son, Laran, and their friend Danielle. We had a relaxing BBQ and party at the park on Friday. On Saturday we went to the Farmer's Market before Jaden and Megan's soccer games. In the afternoon was the Baptism and that evening we had cake and ice cream and Jaden opened some presents. The weather was perfect.

On Sunday we all relaxed and watched General Conference. During and in between all of this we ate plenty of food which of course included lots of Fruits and Veggies from Lindon, Utah. Happy Birthday Jaden and Congratulations on your big day/weekend/decision!
