Baylor's 8th Birthday and Baptism

Baylor is 8!!!

IT was DOWNPOURING when I took these pictures of him for his baptism. Fortunatly this tree in our backyard sheltered us from the rain and I was able to get a couple cute shots of him. I LOVE HIM!

A few things about Baylor at age 8:

Baylor is STILL obsessed with everything scary. Monsters, clowns, aliens etc. He LOVES them. In fact that's pretty much all he thinks about. When he was asked to create a picture of himself in class for the wall he drew a picture of a monster and drew a small picture of himself in the monster's stomach. That was his self portrait. 

Baylor LOVES to collect books. He loves Goosebumps but also loves other books about scary things. He loves the Joker so he has been loving the Joker Lego books. He also loves Eerie Elementary. 

Baylor loves making books and drawing.

Baylor was baptized on Saturday, June 11th. at 11:00. It was a special day!! When we woke up the power was out so it made the morning really hectic- but we still made it on time. Whew! Baylor was baptized with two other girls in our Stake, Evelyn Brinkley and Kayslee Cuff.  My favorite part was when it was his turn. He had the BIGGEST smile on his face! He was worried about the water temperature but he was relived that it WAS warm. Right after he was dipped Bentley started crying and said "Now it's my turn!!" When I told him he had to wait he was upset and stormed off he was so mad that he didn't get a turn.

After the Baptism we went to our house and had lunch with everyone and spent the day hanging out with family. It was a wonderful day!!!

Wesley is 6!

Wesley is 6! He kept having to remind me that is turning 6 and not 5!! We decided to do Wesley's birthday party on Sunday the 17th since the weather was going to be nice and warm. On Wesley's birthday we still did a little family birthday party with a confetti cake, ice cream and dinner at Red Robin. Wesley loved being the birthday boy. He called himself that all day.

A few things about Wesley:

-He LOVES to collect thing. Especially anything small. He has his "special box" that he carries around the house filled with rocks, marbles and random trinkets. He is always on the lookout for cool new things. He esecially loves anything shiny and sparkly!! He also collects keychains and recently started collecting Garbage Pail Kids he loves that too!

-He is our easiest child to get to bed. He still bonks his head on his pillow to put himself to sleep.

-He loves school and has lots of friends. His teacher is Mr. Wright.

-He still loves to be called "Wetzels Pretzels" If I go too long without calling him that he will remind me that he likes to be called that.

-Wesley is very sensitive. He loves to hear people around him speak nice. He always tells me that he loves the way I talk to Sadie (baby talk.) He is very kind and caring and even won an award for that at school! When he was in Preschool Ms. Carolyn would say he has a 'tender heart' that is a good way to put it!

-He makes a "CH" sound when a word starts with T. Logan and I love it! "Please don't CHOUCH my toys!"

-Wesley is our movie/TV show quoter. He is often making us laugh quoting different movies and TV shows. He has been doing this for a long time!

-He is a picky eater- has lots of things he won't eat. Oranges being one of them, the white stuff makes him gag!

-When he gets excited he does a very crazy happy dance! We've never seen dance moves like him!!

The other day he bought some PEZ refills with his Birthday money. The Hills were at our house. He quietly filled each of his Star Wars PEZ dispensers with the PEZ he bought. Then he handed them out for everyone to enjoy. He is such a sweetheart!

First Day of Spring

First day of Spring! The kids all looked so cute together. 

The sweetest girl!

A good day!

Today was a great day. Many days I feel so discouraged but today was great! Baylor came home with his homework finished... he did it on the bus! WHAT? Then Wesley came through the door with an award for being 'Caring and Compassionate' it had a purple ribbon and was signed by the principle. He was pretty excited about this and so were we! He loves school. Then Baylor, at 7:00 put himself to bed and fell asleep! Tonight when I was putting Bentley to bed he was being so sweet. He is always pretty sweet to me. He was saying 'You a sweetie Mommy!' and 'You my best mommy!' He was giving me tons of hugs and kisses and making me feel so loved. While I was reading a book to Wesley he had his arm around me and his cheek against mine. I could feel his cute little body in his footie pjs leaned up on me and it was just so cute. I wish I could just capture his sweetness and have it last forever. And then there is Sadie. So tiny and sweet. I feel so blessed!
