Alex's Big Day

Yep that is Correct, Alex turned 8.  And that is great!
For his bday breakfast he asked for banana muffins (with the traditional money inside) with maple frosting, eggs, sausage, and cereal.  Hearty breakfast! That's my boy ;)
Alex is a sweetheart who is full of giving.  I love this boy.
Not only was it his birthday but he got to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on the same day! That's a rare one, but it made him feel pretty special :)
Grandma Elli gave him his first new suit.  He looks so handsome! Thank you Gail!
My 2 handsome men
It was a double baptism that day, so Alex and Sunday School friend, Tianna Munn, were baptized.
Jeremy and Alex all ready to go :)
After the baptism we had a luncheon for our extended family.  It was so fun to see all the cousins together... man it can get crazy with 14 kids in a gym ;)
Jess enjoying the grub
It was so wonderful of Josh, Jeremy's brother, and his wife Amie come from Boise and be there for Alex's baptism. What a treat!
It was fun to have so many there.  And thank you Aunt Kori for talking on Alex's request :)
Tyler, Crystal, and scowling Ella, lol... she's a hoot.
Grandma and Grandpa Christian gave Alex his very first set of scriptures with his name engraved one it.  Alex has already dived into the chapters and loves carrying his own to church.
Sure LOVE this boy of mine!
Craig... well I seriously do not know what was wrong with him that day.  He must of woken on the wrong side of the bed, because he was mister grump all the way until his #2 nap.  And Jeremy had to deal with him most, because Craig has nothing to do with me if Jer's around. Lol, little stinker!
He was such a happy boy on his special day, and I'm glad... because he is special!!
Before bed, he put on his new Seahawk jersey.  This kid loves football ;).  Can't say it enough, 
WE LOVE YOU ALEX!!!
Thank You to all who made his day so special!
