Happy 8th Birthday Brae!

It is so hard to believe that 8 years ago today you were born. Where did the time go? I remember going to the hospital & no one but dad being there when you arrived - since you came so fast! I don't think anyone expected you to arrive so quickly - litterally 2 pushes & you were here!

 You are an amazing kid - loving, kind, & the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met! You tower over everyone your age, yet you are a gentle giant - you stick up for others & are a great brother. We know it can't be easy being the middle boy, but you sure know how to hold your own!

Brae, we are so proud of the boy you have become - and in just a few short weeks you will be baptized. What a special choice you have made, I'm sure that Heavenly Father is very happy with your choice. You are an example to all. We love you!

Once the friends all went home, we headed to Connor's first game, then onto Carly's game - finally one we were able to go to! She played great! We headed to Red Robin & invited along the family members who had been at Carly's game....it was a fun time!

Is there anything better than hanging out with some of your favorite people?

It was fun to share in our tradition of going to Red Robin on our birthdays!

Ella was a bit of a stinker...good thing we had Aunt Mel right there!

She was fascinated with the balloons Brae gave her..but her first comment was, "I want a PINK one!"...such a girl!
