Adam's Baptism

Adam’s baptism was amazing. I am so proud of Adam and his decision to get baptized. He did really well and didn’t get too embarrassed with all of my crying and sniffling. This was a very spiritual experience for me. I have such strong feeling for my kids and for God. Mix those two together and I am a hot mess.

I am so thankful for everyone that came. It means so much to us that so many people would sacrifice so much to be with Adam and us on this special occasion. We love you guys.

We also had tons-O-fun while everyone was here; swimming at the hotel, late night Jack in the Box with games, and just good times with family.

Adam also bore his testimony in church on Sunday. Adam we are so proud of you! We love you so much!

The Happy Family

Everyone!

Adam's 8th Birthday

Happy Birthday Adam!

(picture overload)

Adam had a GREAT birthday this year!!! It was made very special by his baptism and everyone that came to support him!

Perfect way to start your birthday!

Adam wanted to play dodgeball for his birthday. It was made very special by lotsa family.

Michael is our greatest fear! Look at the throwing arm! I pity the fool that is going to get hit by that ball!

Dad doesn't look quite as scary, but a hit is a hit! btw- love his shorts :)

I can't believe Emily got this shot! Tayson may have just thrown a ball, but I think he is going to get hit!

Ken is trying to protect his palm treat from the onslaught of balls!

We are so glad Kelly was able to come down! He is a great dodgeball player and very fun!

I had to come to the party straight from work, but I was definitely not going to miss the dodgeball game!

I think we are getting ready to play here. It was so much fun, but a couple funny moments were when Mark threw all our balls over the wall. We started with at least 15 balls and ended the game when we lost all of them. And when Mark jumped in the air doing the splits to avoid getting hit and poor innocent little Luke got nailed. :)

Opening presents! Thanks to everyone that came and gave so much to Adam! He has a very blessed life and is even luckier to have SO much family that loves and supports him.
