Family Fun

We had lots of family visiting the past few weeks, which led to lots of fun times! Jared's parents and grandparents came out and spent a week with us. Can you say HOTEL CARDON....it was a little crazy with air mattresses everywhere, but we had fun. Jared took a day off from work and took them down south to see a plantation. The trees were awesome...my boys would be in heaven climbing them....too bad they weren't allowed too!
Jared's sister Melissa and her family came for a few days too. Josh LOVES his cousins, especially Wyatt, who is his age. They had SO much fun, as you can see. Josh also was a great mechanic and helped Grandpa Sid and Dad fix the car, even Great Grandpa Cardon got in on the action.
We took the kids to the park, and we all had fun, and came home VERY dirty!


We got to celebrate Easter with Wyatt and Justin. We had multiple egg hunts and LOTS of candy, actually it was candy overload!
Everyone helped us celebrate Joshua's birthday. Grandma Nancy made him a submarine cake (at his request), we did a pinata (at his request, which gave us MORE candy), and he got what he wanted, a new puppy (not the living one he wanted, but it will do!)

Joshua's Special Day

Joshua was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints last Sunday. He was baptized on his birthday, Easter Sunday, and General Conference Sunday. I don't think he will ever forget this day. He has been looking forward to this day for so long. We asked him if he wanted to wait until summer so we could do it in Utah with all the family, but he didn't want to...he was ready! It was so nice. We had both sets of grandparents, his great grandparents, and Jared's sister and her family here. It was such a special day, and he was ALL smiles!
