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!

Happy birthday, Jaden!
Oh man I am soooo sad we missed it!!! I thought for sure that would be the next time we'd come to California....now we have to think of another reason....:)
Thanks for the wonderful weekend! We miss you all ready. Ella reminds us of all the fun she had and the new songs she learned!!
Crazy to think Jaden is old enough to be baptized. Congrats to all of you! We miss you guys.
Happy Birthday Jaden! I am so glad that he had a fun weekend, and that is so wonderful that lots of your family got to share in the moment.
When did that happen! How could he be eight already!
Wow- I can't believe Jaden is 8 either. I know it is a little late but tell him happy birthday from Jordan and all of us - we sure miss all of you :)
