8 is great!

I can't believe Dylan is 8! Crazy, I tell ya. What a good kid he is. A good brother, student, friend, helper, and son. He sure took us for a ride in his first few years of life, but seriously, he grew into such a great kid. Love him!!!




And a handsome little boy at that. We are so happy he chose to be baptized.

And he was lucky enough to be baptized on his birthday. That doesn't happen to too many people. And lucky for me, we didn't have to do a friend party because so many cousins came to town for his baptism.

Dylan really wanted to eat at the Pizza Pie Cafe for his birthday. So...... me being the lazy person that I am, decided to have everyone go out to eat after the baptism. That meant no cooking a huge baptism dinner and no huge mess at my house. Except that it didn't. Because my family was all still in town and we still partied hard at our house. But I didn't have to cook a big meal for a million people. Just a few. That was a big thing. Especially with a 9 day old in the house.

And to make things even easier, Dylan didn't want a cake. He only wanted donuts. Sweet. I even had to talk him into having ice cream with it. This kid is very easy to please.
