Catching up!

I just wanted to catch up on a few big events that we've had recently.


First of all, Ben turned 8! He got to have a bowling party and lunch with a couple of friends!
Ben started right into Cub Scouts and is all fired up. He earned his Bobcat at his first Den Meeting! It helps that his Dad is the Cub Master and they work on it together!


Ben got baptized on April 26, 2008. We arranged for him to be baptized in North Ogden so all of our family could be there (Danny graduated from BYU on the 24th so Grandma, Ally, Donnie, Todd and Erika, CJ and Lacey, and Danny and Lacey were all there!) It was a beautiful day and I was so proud of Ben. Zac gave him a beautiful blessing and we know our Heavenly Father was pleased with Ben.

A funny little side note is that when Ben was ready to be baptized, all the kids were lined up in the front ready to watch. All was quiet, Zac said the prayer, and proceeded to baptize Ben, while Lucas yells out "There He goes!" Everyone got a chuckle out of that!


Rachel was blessed the day after Ben's baptism on the 27th. Zac gave her a beautiful blessing and she was quiet the whole prayer. Those who helped bless her included her dad, Grandpa Steve, Uncles Todd, Danny, Donnie, CJ, Terry, and friends Travis and Brian. I have a feeling Grandpa Don was watching on as well, as I know that he knows her spirit well!
We had a great weekend with all the family here. It was hectic going from graduation, baptism and blessing, but we had a lot of great food, and a great time together. Thanks to both grandma's for helping us out!
