Update? 'bout time...

The past couple of weeks have been SUPER busy. We have had a move, a baptism, a birthday, cleaning and the stomach flu... so it's about time I update!

First up is Titus's baptism. It was such a special (and memorable day). We got to the church a half hour early and got a good, but typical, picture of Titus and Dad. The talks were wonderful and the spirit was felt. Titus's, and our, good friend Jake was able to be baptized on the same day. They were excited and comforted to know someone there that day. Jake's mom gave one of the talks and did a wonderful job! (In case you read this Natalie, my whole family commented that you did such a good job talking at the kids level so they could understand that special day)
We did have a couple of things that made the day a little MORE memorable...1st, mom forgot the towel and clean underwear...oops. Sorry boys, for the soggy bottoms for the last 20 min. But luckily it didn't detract too much for the wonderful reason we were there! Mom and Dad are so proud of you Titus for your choice to get baptized.

The whole fam together for the good day. Thanks everyone for coming!

Cute Titus and Dad!

2nd thing that made that day a little different...we moved. Yup we did it. We moved that same day. It was crazy busy and a little chaotic, not to mention very emotional for mom. But things went very smoothly. We had a lot of help thanks to family and friends. Both from the ward and not. We are busy getting settled and the kids are making new friends in the new neighborhood. We appreciate SO much that my mom and Grandpa made a little room for us so we can get that house in 6 months!

The next day, Sunday, was our cute Tobyn's birthday! The cute kid turned 4. With all that was going on I forgot to take pictures. But we kept it simple. A little family party at Grandma C's and we ate no-bake cookies for his "cake". Like I said it was simple, but I think he had fun...until that night when he got sick :-( poor kid. Next year we'll make it up some how!

So there's the update. Sorry it was so long thanks for stickin' with it.

Congrats to Titus on his baptism. I love the picture you got of him and his dad.

And I can't believe you did all that, moved, and STILL showed up early to the baptism! Great job, Connie!
