8 is great

Here are some pictures from Lincoln's big day. We are so proud that he made the choice to be baptized.

He has been waiting for so long for his own scriptures. It was almost painful for me to make him wait so long. He has been so patient taking his plain jane missionary Book of Mormon to church with him. Now he has his very own scriptures with his name on them.

At his request, the whole family headed over to Cici's after the baptism. I mean WHOLE family. Cousins and all. Even his good friend Rylan convinced his mom to take their family. Thanks Julie :) Then we headed over to our house for cake and swimming. It was a fun, fun day. Congratulations to my little man!

wow, i bet cici's was happy to have you all there! Jace could hardly wait for his scriptures too, i guess that's a good thing! I think i got jace the same suit for his baptism- looks like it anyway,had to search high and low for flat front pants that had a matching jacket!

Could he be ANY cuter! Seriously he is so sweet! Kenzi is dying for her bday too! I always feel bad holding out on the whole scripture set too but they get so excited for it that it is so worth it. Glad you all had fun! Tell him congrats!
