Eight is Great!!!

Our cute Ben has just turned 8! What an exciting time! He can't wait to be baptized (especially since big brother Cammon is going to baptize him). Here's Mr. GQ posing for baptism pictures. He thought this was a riot. He likes to look "dashing" as he says.

For Ben's birthday all he really wanted was to play in his soccer game, so even though he was still in his boot with his broken toe, we went over to the game but he wasn't allowed to play. So he was kind-of bummed! Okay, well, REALLY bummed. But, Dad took him to Speed Street and let him do an awesome race. So he had a great day after all!!

Okay, update on the toe. Ben is out of his boot now! And the toe is almost all better! And he played soccer last Saturday. Yay!

Another big day for the new 8-year-old: First day of scouts! Super fun!

Oh, Spencer!!

So, we were "skyping" with Grammie & Papa T. on Sunday night when suddenly Spencer appears out of thin air with his hair looking rather choppy.

He had been asking me for a buzz for a couple of weeks, and I kept saying "we'll do another buzz next summer." But apparently he was done waiting. He found the preschool scissors and chopped it off right to the scalp!

Well guess what! Spencer got his buzz after all! Good thing he's a boy. (Man, is this going to ruin school pictures or what?!?)
