Talmage turns 8

Talmage turned 8 this year.  I can't hardly believe it!  It feels like the last few years have passed in the blink of an eye!  Sometimes I think he is still 5!!  But I love my sweet Talmage!  He has weathered our "storm" amazingly and I am so grateful for his attitude and the cheerful spirit he brings to our home!

And of course with turning 8 comes the blessing of Baptism.  He started counting down the days (literally) before Christmas!  I told him that who baptized him was his choice, and he struggled with that choice for a while but then decided to have Grandpa Rulon baptize him, and Brian confirm him.

We didn't have a friend party for him this year so we had a big celebration after his baptism

Seriously, SO handsome!
