James Micheal's Baptism and eighth birthday!

James micheal was baptized September 14th, 2013 in the Spokane stake center. It was quite a special and emotional day for us. I'm grateful he chose to take such a defining step in his life. He looked so cute in his new suit and watching him get baptized by his dad is something I'll remember forever.  It's hard to believe he is already eight. Soon he'll be twelve, then off on his mission before I know it. 

James micheals celebration after his baptism was also kinda his birthday party. We had lots of family and loved ones come it was so great to see all the support for us. 

James micheal has been such a blessing and help to me these past eight years. He has helped me wrangle babies and clean the house. He has been a great source of love and comfort in our home and I thank Heavenly Father for sending him to me first. It's going to be so amazing to watch him grow into a great young man of God. He was blessed with the gift of the Holy Ghost and that he would be a help and example to his siblings, and that he would be an amazing missionary.  How exciting it will be to see him achieve those things. We love you James micheal. Thanks so much for choosing to be part of our family. You've taught us so much about selflessness, compassion, and love. We love you, mom,dad,makayla,Sadie,Evan,Emmy, and baby number six. I'm so happy to know we can have ya forever!
