We're getting sealed!!!!

Jason and I found out about a week ago that we get to be sealed together for eternity! We are SOOOOOO excited! We also get to have Xander sealed to us, and all the kids get to come watch! Kate has asked me everyday, "Mommy, how many sleeps until we get to be sealed in the temple? I can't wait for Xander to be married to us!" It's fetching ADORABLE! I don't know how much she understands as a 4-yr old, but I am so happy that she's excited for it.

Here is what I get to have FOREVER:

Thanks to Jeff Mortensen for taking our pictures!!

Xander's birthday

I told you so. I'm terrible at keeping up with a blog. It's been almost 2 months since my tiny, wonderful boy turned 1, and I'm JUST getting around to blogging it. Be that as it may, I'm blogging it now, so I still feel okay about myself. :)

Xander's birthday was small and quiet. Just the way I like it! The children were extremely excited, and therefore, not quiet, but it was cute. 

Sadie was so excited to be in this video of Xander eating his cake, and it's really funny, so watch it if you want:

He got clothes from Angie, Tammy, Scott McCune, and books from Grandma and Grandpa Nyman. Thank you all! He needed those things! Here are some pictures from the smaller celebration we had at my mom's and then the bigger party we had here.

 Clothes from Aunt Tammy!

 His very first ice cream cone! He thinks everyone else eats it upside down...

 CUTE, happy boy in his new outfit!

 Loves to Uncle Scotto!

 Touch and feel book from Grandma and Grandpa!

 New jacket from Uncle Scott. I LOVE this picture! 

 New church clothes from Aunt Angie and Uncle Spence!

 Mama and Daddy got him a new toy so he might want to walk. It didn't work. :)

My favorite people in the whole world!  Love you!
