Mitchell has turned 8. Yes, I think I am to young to have a kid getting baptized. He is so excited to be baptized in a few weeks and really looking forward to that very special day.
Mitchell loved everything about his birthday. He woke up and asked for a pancake breakfast. Then he opened his package from his grandma & grandpa. New clothes, he whipped his old clothes off, put the new one's on and we were off to school. After school he wanted to go shopping with his dad for his birthday gift! He was all smiles when he got home and off shopping with dad. They had a great time, the only thing was Mitchell had too many decisions and couldn't make up his mind. After a couple hours of shopping (remind you, he is with his father, Scott is a in and out kind of shopper) Mitchell decided on an Ipod and some baseball bases. Then they met us at the Restaurant of Mitchell's choice! Chilli's, he was so excited to have the RIBS! He ate every last bite and still was a little hungry, I think the days of Kids meals our over for Mitchell! (dang it!) Last but not least we headed home for cake and Ice cream! Mitchell wanted a BYU cake, this is what I came up with. He loved it. He got calls, and cards from family and friends and his day was complete.
The cutest thing was when Scott and I put him to bed, he was a little sad and a few tears were there. I asked why he was crying, he said It's nothing mom, I talked to him and finally he admitted he had such a great day and he didn't want his birthday to end. I kissed him and told him if it didn't end he would never turn 9. That pretty much explained itself.
We love you Mitchell and we are so glad to have you in our family. We are proud of the decisions you are making in your life!

Hey nice cake Betty!!! That's the cutest thing not wanting his birthday to end!! How's things going?
wow, how can I not comment on the cake! Very cool! You are so creative! Thanks for your comment, my mom made a comment about a talk from her stake pres. He commented about the Olympics, and how 4 minute miles were just not enough anymore, the beam routines in gymnastics were far more advanced, we just have to step it up, our kids need us to step it up. Anyway, thanks for your support, I just hope I can stay grounded and not try to throw my kids in a bubble:) I too love Utah, but sometimes it can feel way too gray!
Happy Birthday, Mitchell. Awesome cake. How 'bout those Cougars this year? They're awesome. Do you get to see the games in Cali?
What an awesome cake!

Congratulations to Mitchell. It's great to be eight! And the cake was fantastic. I'll let you design mine. Remember February 14th. Ha! Ha!
You have a wonderful family.
