Brenan's baptism & birthday party

Brenan was Baptized last Saturday March 21st. Bryce was able to get a weeks leave and come home and baptize him before leaving for Iraq. It turned out to be such a wonderful day. I was stressing. We usually do baptisms on a stake basis, but since we were doing it on an off Saturday, (not a normal Saturday before fast Sunday) I had to make all the arrangements and plan the whole day myself. That morning Bryce and I had to be at the Stake Center at 8:30 to fill the font ourselves. It took three hours to fill!:( I ended up going home and getting the kids ready and meeting Bryce up there with all of his stuff to get ready. It kind of made for a long day. Thanks everyone who helped on the program. We appreciate your support.


Brenan's birthday was actually on the 5th of March, but he refused to have his party until his dad was here to celebrate with him. We had a scavenger hunt where we found the pinata at the end of the hunt. The kids had a great time with that. We planned the pinata before we knew it was supposed to snow, so we had to improvise and hang the pinata from the kitchen railing and a stick that Bryce held. Each kid went home with an arm full of loot. He had a great day and received some fun gifts from his friends.

It's still weird to think that your baby is 8! The baptism was really great. Brenan's so funny!
