Karston's 8th Birthday
Our little boy is growing up fast. He is so handsome, smart, loving, caring, . . . well, Josh & I have a hard time finding any faults with our most perfect little boy. :) We enjoyed celebrating his birthday this week.
On Friday night, Karston invited a few friends to come over to celebrate his birthday. They ate pizza, then headed to the go-cart track, and then came back to eat brownie waffles. :) It was a little cold at the go-cart track, but they all seemed to have a lot of fun.
They topped their brownie waffles with fresh strawberries, chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, whip cream, and ice cream. :) But they were only allowed to have one. :)

He got some pretty cool presents too. :) Mommy & Daddy gave him a DSi, & a new watch. Of course he got Lego's, and other cool presents.
My Mom & Dad came in late Friday night to spend Karston's birthday week with us. Memaw, Camee, & I walked Saturday morning.
Sunday, Karston's actual birthday, was a very special day. Karston was able to make special covenants with his Heavenly Father, and be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Memaw & Papa spoke at Karston's baptism.
Cameron played the violin at Karston's baptism, and then we sang the song she played. It is one of my favorite primary songs: 
Josh performed the baptism. Karston was really happy he got to be baptized twice, just like his Mom & Dad. In our church, you have to be fully immersed in the water, so if a toe pokes up or a dress flies up, you have to do it again. Karston's toe made an appearance during the first try. :)
We had a lot of fun with Memaw & Papa. We went out to eat, watched movies, & Papa & Kayden got close when Papa shared his cupcake with our little Kayden. :) She did offer to share her cookie with him later that night. :) Thank you Memaw & Papa for coming all this way to visit us. We love ya'll!

And ponder on the beauty of the earth made clean again.
I want my life to be as clean as Earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away.
And I can be forgiven, and improve myself each day.
I want my life to be as clean as Earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
