Another Lazy Post

I want to share how awesome and sweet my boy's are. Dylan celebrated his 8th birthday. It was a little bitter sweet for me because his friend birthday party was boycotted by all but one of the kids we invited because we are Mormon. Lame for me but Dylan was okay with it. He loved the present that Owen picked out (Owen is really good at picking out toys. Surprised? I bet not.) Then two weeks later, Dylan made his first covenant by being baptized and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. This was on of the lamest lame mommy moments that I've ever had because I neglected to invite anyone but family (who for various and reasonable reasons were largely unable to come) Again, I realized that the most important people were there (the witnesses, Owen and of course Dylan) so that was cool. The Spirit attended the whole thing very strongly. Dylan has taken his new accountability for himself quite seriously and last Sunday even woke early, got dressed in his church clothes and studied his new scriptures all on his own. Thank you for those new scriptures M&D Spencer. He loves them. It may take me two months to get the thank you cards out (because I'm awesome that way...yes, more sarcasm)so I want to take a moment to put the 'thank you' out there.

  1. Oh wow. I hate having that much pressure and I hate breaking down at work. I'm sorry your family is going through some hard times right now, but I have faith in you. I'll add you to my prayers.

  3. Kids can be lame, but parents can be even lamer! I'm glad the birthday party was fun for Dylan. You do such a great job with your blog, love the Halloween theme! p.s., I just nominated you for a blog award! Check out the details on my most recent post.

  4. (Shawn in Mawndy...) I felt bad that I couldn't be there for the baptism. I felt the spirit strongly just thinking about Dylan being baptized and I was reminded while Madeline was being baptized. I'm glad he takes it very seriously. I am very inspired by children doing what I felt to do as a child (but which we adults are so good at averaging out at in times and seasons). I am very encouraged, however. Maddie also did a lot of things that showed her sincere interest in doing just what she needs to. I felt that same sweet spirit coming from her and her baptism. She is a good example and was confused when I took the dollar out of the auto cash register after asking if the last person left it. I acted like I wasn't sure what to do either, but I am very encouraged that she even thought that was important to be careful about. She is like that.
