Turning 8!

This month Jacob turned 8!  He went from this, to this!

The Friday before his birthday, the 18th, we had 10 of his friends over for a birthday party.  

Chase Anderson, Ryan Harkness, Reese Tillmann, Bridger Gee, Tirk Sollis, Andy Brown, Avery Roper, Jaxon Cathey,
Alex, Brown, Jacob

 We opened presents, had dinner of pizza and fruit, and then went to Airborne to jump!

 Afterward we came home and had cake and ice cream.  Grandma Wong was so nice and came to help us transport kids to and from jumping.


On Jacob's actual birthday, March 23rd, Joy was in town visiting Elizabeth and Christian.  She picked up Mom and Dad and brought them up for his birthday dinner.

Poor Elizabeth--tired new mom!

On Saturday, March 26th, Jacob was baptized by his Dad into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  

At the baptism Joy lead the opening song, "Teach Me to Walk", Reese Tillmann's Grandpa gave the opening prayer, Jacob, Abby, Emma, Mylee, Lilly, Grace, Samantha, Olivia, and Reese's cousins sang, "I Am a Child of God." A s Stake Primary President I then gave the talk and managed to not cry through the whole thing!

We went to baptism font and he was baptized.  Then we moved to the Relief Society room where he and Reese were confirmed member of the Church.  It was so nice!

Baptism Day - March 26, 2016

After the confirmation we went into the gym to have lunch.  We had hawaiian haystacks and everything was ready, but the rice didn't cook very well.

It all worked out, but we had to wait a while.  

I can't believe he is this old!!

Love these boys!!
