Ethan turned 8 on 3/9 and will be baptized this Saturday. Wow, I can't believe we're old enough for this-- I can definitely believe he's old enough-- I've felt like we've been raising a teen-ager for the past 4 years. :) I've had plenty of time to be nervous for the day that he would actually be accountable for his choices-- don't get me wrong, he's a great kid, but if you know him, I think you'll agree that "precocious" is probably a good description of him. He has so much passion and drive and determination, I can't help but feel the weight of my responsibility to help him steer his energy in the right direction. But I actually feel like he is (and I am) ready for this.
As headstrong as he is and as exasperating as he can be, I look into those brown eyes and see that little smirky smile (which I must say he got from his daddy) and he still melts my heart.

oh Britt- he is such a stud!... a brilliant one at that- like his parents:). Post your california pictures too:)... I can't wait to see your family pictures from your super adventurous Sunday out there:)
Any trips to Phoenix soon???????? (my fingers are crossed)
He has always seemed older then he really is, but I still can't believe he is turning eight! I agree, he is a stud. I am just waiting for the day we can reintroduce Lillian to those boys of yours. ;)
I can't believe we will be going through the same thing with Kaden in January.
Congratulations on your baptism tomorrow Ethan!
I can't believe he's 8 already! He is such a handsome little guy. I wish I could be there with you.
He's still on the short list for future Ellie suitors, so we still like him. She may give him a run for his money - which might be a good thing.
Tell him congratulations for us. He is such a handsome boy.
Wow, time really flies, doesn't it? Your first baptism... imagine when he goes on a mission! Happy birthday, Ethan.
