A Very Marcus Birthday

Marcus celebrated his 7th birthday last Saturday. It was an Indiana Jones/High School Musical themed party. His favorite present was from Big Papa and Little Gramma - an Indiana Jones Lego set. Aunt Liz sent a High School Musical card with a Hannah Montana Wal-Mart gift card. It seems all of Marcus' birthday wishes came true. I think Tyson liked the Lego set as much as Marcus- see victory dance below. I love you, Marcus!

Small Town Football

I’ll admit- the thought of my 2nd grader playing tackle football was a little unsettling. However, his little helmet, tight white pants (and skinny, tan legs), full padding, and cleats won me over. I love being a football mom and I love watching Tyson play Center for his Morgan football team. He practices 4 nights a week for 2 hours, and plays 4 quarters every Saturday. Tyson takes the game very seriously just like his Dad, the defensive coach. I can't wait to double the fun next year when Marcus is playing. Go Trojans!

Tyson's Baptism

Tyson was baptized September 6th in Morgan, Utah. His sister, Kaylee, and cousin, Makenzie, were also baptized. During the baptism program, Little Gramma spoke about baptism and Grandma Mary talked about the Holy Ghost. Tyson was baptized and confirmed by his Dad. Afterwards, we had a big family luncheon at the church pavilion. Grandma Heiner prepared a baptism book for Tyson, Mom gave Tyson scriptures, and Dad gave Tyson his first pocketknife- his best present ever. So much responsibility in one day!

It was a very special day for the three kids and all the family and friends who attended.
