Can you believe it? My little boy is eight. Well he's not so little anymore. We had a very crazy and exciting weekend. It all started with 2 baseball games and few trips to the airport. Thursday night both Aaron and Landon had baseball games plus we were suppose to pick up Grandma Robin and Aunt Kristen at the airport. So after some shuffling and pawning off of kids we all got to the right places. Friday morning Grandma Nancy came in from Arizona (glad to be away from the 110 Heat). We all went to see Wall -E-, which was great. Nothing like starting a long weekend with soda, buttered popcorn and lots of sugar! Later that night Grandpa John arrived from Seattle and Papa Ryan arrived from Utah. Now we had our crazy and full house. Saturday Morning the Baptism was at 10:00am. We had 3 other kids in our ward getting baptised and a full chapel. We had lots of wonderful friends come for the event included were the Moore's, Strickenberger's, Hoffman's, Johnson's and the Porter's. They had forgotten to put the drain in so when the font was found empty an hour before people were to come they filled it with the only water left COLD WATER! Even the attempt to boil pans of water in the kitchen were fruitless. So when Brother Porter said they were going to get baptised in water like the river's he used on his mission he meant it. Poor Aaron's face let us know how cold the water was. But at least it was quick. It was such a neat and spiritual experience to have my wonderful husband baptise our first son and we will look forward to the next one in 2 years! The weekend continued with family game nights and lots of memories. After several trips to the airport our house was empty again on Tuesday night. Thanks everyone for making the long trip and come back soon!
