Weston's 8th Birthday and Baptism!

(L-R) Drew, Weston, Reise, Conner, Hagen and Ray in front.
Weston had his friend party on Friday the 1st, right after school. We had a pirate party! We learned some pirate words like AVAST means STOP, and also had a treasure hunt, complete with the treasure chest buried in the snow. I even drew pirate tatoos on thier arms with markers. In the end all the boys werre made into true scallywags with swords and pirate eye patches.

Sat. Feb. 2nd, we had cinnamon french toast, ham and O.J. for birthday breakfast.

After breakfast Weston got to open 1 present, birthday clothes, a pirate ship puzzle, and new church clothes for his baptism.

Weston's baptism was at 5 p.m. that evening, because of President Hinckley's funeral, so it was an emotional day for many reasons. We are so proud of Weston and his decision to be baptized!

Lyn(Dad) was able to baptize Weston, and he was the only one in our ward, so it was Weston's special day. Everyone helped with the talks and music, Ellie even played the piano while we were waiting for the guys to get dressed. She did a great job!

This is Weston and Dad and Mom right after his baptism.
It was such an awesome day!

After the baptism it was time for Weston's family party!

This is the pirate ship cake that I made for his birthday, it turned out really cool!

Weston thought it was the best cake ever!

This is the cousins picture!

Weston's favorite present, a fun marble game for Uncle Chris and Tiesha!

It was a great day and then the next day, Sunday, Feb. 3rd, It snowed like crazy and a lot of our family weren't able to come to Weston's confirmation, because of the snow.

Yet we still had an awesome day and Lyn(Dad) was able to confirm Weston and give him the gift of the Holy Ghost. We are so proud of Weston! The newest member of the Heber 9th ward.

Congratulations Weston! You've made a great decision to be baptized.

Heather, your birthday cakes are looking quite amazing lately. Too bad I won't be there for my birthday or you could make a 3 dimensional baskeball cake!
