Rewind

Happenings this month:
Wyatt is five months old today! So crazy that our little bundle of joy is so big already. He started rolling over today to mark the occasion. He loves to chew on fingers, suck/bite on his blanket, be thrown up in the air, and most of all, he loves to throw up on the person tossing him into the air. His older brothers absolutely adore him and he is always watching and smiling at them.

My parents left yesterday after visiting for a week. We went to Kirtland to visit the temple and visitor center. Besides that little trip, we pretty much vegged at home, took kids to their various sporting activities and I stressed out about Camden's baptism.

Speaking of...Camden was baptized on August 26th! I was pretty nervous about all of the organizational stuff but it turned out really well. Both grandma's were asked to speak, my father-in-law lead the music, Nate, of course, dunked the child, and all of our new friends were there witness it. I'm so proud of Camden for making this choice and being prepared. He was given his very own set of scriptures from my parents and my mom made him a blanket or "comforter" to go on his bed to represent the Holy Ghost. He loves them both.

Camden also started 2nd grade last wednesday. I'm grateful for the routine and the diversion that school brings. Aidan will start his last year of preschool in two weeks. My little boys are growing up so fast!

My big news is that I had LASIK eye surgery on August 13th. It was easy. Recovery was cake and now I can SEE!!! It's amazing. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm not wearing any contacts. Love, love, love, love being able to see.

Other than that, nothing very exciting has been happening. Just adjusting to being the Young Women prez in the ward and all the organization that requires but I love my counselors and I love my girls.

Young Women's Pres? That's awesome! Good luck! I'm the YW Sec. in our ward and it's so much fun! I'm glad I don't have all the responsibility that comes with being pres though.

Congrats, Camden on being baptized and heading into 2nd grade! Exciting times!

I will always say that Lasik is the best thing I ever did for myself. Glad you got to have to it done too! Love ya, Ems!

Enjoy being Young Women's President! I'm the Laurel Advisor and so sad to be leaving them as we're moving to North Carolina next month. Maybe we'll have to meet up in Kirtland sometime. :) I can't believe Camden is old enough to be baptized! Has it really been that long since we were at BYU together?? We miss you guys and I'm very jealous of the LASIK!

Yay for LASIK!! Best money I ever spent.
YW is the best calling ever. I'm the laurel advisor and I never want to leave. I've been in there for 3 1/2 years already but the Bishop says that he's gonna leave me in for a while still.
I remember when you were preggo with Camden. I can't believe he's 8 already! I guess BYU was a long time ago.
