valentine's day cookies

My awesome mother made sugar cookies for Valentine's Day so I did not have to. I love that I did not have to have the mess at my house. Jack would sit all day and and decorate cookies if he could. The more sugar, the better. He painstakenly puts every sprinkle he can on his cookie - he must be related to me because I LOVE sprinkles!!!


Jack trying to sneak some frosting into his mouth and not on the cookie.

Jack has his father's concentration and OCD!! He takes cookie decorating very seriously. We were laughing our heads off.

Cameron's baptism

Okay, so I have been trying to post more stuff, but my computer is completely retarded. As you all know, if it is not completely easy, I am not going to be able to figure it out. So, hopefully this will work.

Anyway, Cameron was baptized on January 5, 2008, by Brandon (yes, he is worthy, ha ha). There was a bad storm (surprise, surprise this year) but thankfully most of our brave family made it. Cameron was the most enthusiastic, excited child to be baptized I have ever seen. But, then again, he is usually exited about almost everything. We had Grandpa Wally and Aunt Katie give talks and Cameron felt like the entire meeting was an open discussion and kept making funny comments to whoever was up speaking (especially during the bishiopbric members talk). It fit his personality perfect. We had all the cousins sing a musical number while Braden and I played a duet. For lunch we decided to cater to our picky sons eating habits and ordered a huge tray of chicken nuggets from Chick-Fil-A, apple slices, chips, and a few adult foods too. It turned out to be a great day and we are so proud of Cameron. He tells me a month later that he is pretty sure he is still perfect.
