Clifton is 8!!!!

Updates on Clifton -
He turned 8!!!  Getting him to smile for pictures isn't easy.  He loves anything and everything sports related.  Wakes up and turns on ESPN.  Reads a lot of sports books and could talk your ear off about sport facts.  Is as competitive as they come and loves to play any sport he can try.  And he is HANDSOME!  Love our boy.

Updates on McKay -
Doing a journal with McKay has really helped my self esteem.  She loves to leave me notes of affirmation and I love it too.

Updates on Stanley -
We are in the transition stage of no naps but most days end up with a unexpected nap any who.  Not my favorite transition, but it leads to cute sleeping pictures.

Monday was the most beautiful day this year.  The sun was shining and the temperature was in the 60's.  Oh it was a nice reminder of what is to come soon.

 We took advantage of the lovely weather and had a picnic by our pond while we listened to the frogs.

 Enjoyed s'mores.

And ended the night with a FHE treasure hunt.

This week we got to see baby.

We got a thumbs up letting us know he or she is doing great.  We took all the kids with us which was fun, until the boy got bored ;)  We had a new tech so it took a little longer than average but they all did like seeing the baby.  Stanley keeps asking if we can go back and see the baby again.

This week we got out and enjoyed the weather as much as possible.

Life is so much better when the sun is shining!

Saturday was Saint Patrick's Day.

 We painted our toast green and I made green eggs to celebrate.

This year I was also given cute pots and clover seeds to grow in them.  It was a fun addition to St. Patrick's Day.

That afternoon Clifton got together with a few friends and played flag football.  The weather worked in our favor and the boys had a blast.

Boys are fun!

Sunday was Clifton's actual birthday and a big day for him.  He got baptized!

He was looking mighty handsome and ready to go.

So proud of the decision he has made to be baptized. And so thankful for the many friends and family that came to be apart of his big day.  The spirit filled the room and it was a wonderful evening!

Clifton asked McKay and I to sing at his baptism and McKay is a natural.  She loves the lime light and has so much confidence.  I love it!

What a special moment with my sweet girl.
