Eight is Great!

Well our oldest child turned eight this last month and with that age come a lot of neat things in life for an eight year old.

Caleb had a Star Wars party, and we had the kids eat doughnuts off of a string, do an obstacle course, fight with light sabers. It was a lot of fun and Caleb had a good time.

Calel also gets to be a Cub Scout, which he is super excited about, and very handsome in his uniform too!

A few other perks is Caleb gets to stay up a half an hour later than the rest of the kids, which he holds over their heads often! He also got to graduate out of his booster seat and gets to sit in a seat like an adult.

Probably the biggest marker for turning eight was being baptized. Caleb claimed this day was better even than his birthday. It was a special day for our whole family, and we enjoyed having our extended family here to celebrate with us. We sure are proud of our not so little son!

The End of the Year

Well quite a lot has happened in our little neck of the woods. The kids have finished a successful year of school with Morgan even having a little graduation ceremony. She was asked to perform a song with two other girls out of the whole kindergarten, and we were sure proud of her. I am happy to have less to do in a day, but not as excited to deal with four rambunctious children all summer. Luckily we know lots of friends and have some stuff to do this summer!
