Jimmy's Baptism

I can't believe that 8 years ago I gave birth to this child and now he is baptized! My boys are growing up way too fast. The baptism turned out really nice. Jim baptized and confirmed him and Jimmy was beaming from ear to ear. I don't know if he was more excited for the baptism or for his grandparents and Amber to come all the way to California just for him. He was pretty excited and happy.

I was going to order a cake from Costco for afterward but Jimmy was adamant about me not doing that. He insisted on making a special cake with his grandma. I thought it was kind of cute and sweet of him to want to do that so I didn't fight too hard. A Costco cake would have been easier but I don't think Jimmy would have remembered it.

I think Jimmy was kind of sick of taking pictures at this point.

After the baptism we went to Jim's all time favorite restaurant, Gloria's Cafe. They have the best El Salvadorean food ever. Yes, this gigantic plate is what Jimmy ordered. He is a total carnivore so he got the carne asada and ate most of it. He just needed a little help from Grandpa to cut the meat. He didn't need much help eating it though.;)

Congratulations Jimmy!

Amber: Thanks for letting me be a part of your special family day.

I agree that Jimmy is a great little boy -- growing up way to fast. However, you are not getting any older.

It's been really quiet around my house and I miss you guys.; August 15, 2011 at 11:10 PM
Cameron, Shannon Voge: What a special day! Congratulations Jimmy, I can't believe how big you've gotten since you left Ohio! Hallie liked looking at you dressed in white :); August 17, 2011 at 1:29 PM

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
