Eight is great!

I seriously cannot believe that my baby turned eight, where has the time gone?!?!  KC is such a wonderful kid,  I couldn't have asked for better.  I am so proud to call him my own.  He is a good example to his brothers and is ALWAYS helping out when I need him to.  I think because he is the oldest, we tend to ask him to step up to the plate more often than Xander.  I feel bad about that sometimes, but I also know that he is capable and it makes him responsible. 

He is a funny kid, and likes to make people laugh. At PT conferences, his teacher told us that KC is always making the class laugh, and that he is friendly and makes people feel good.  She even said that KC will compliment her on how she looks somedays.  Funny boy, such a little flirt like his daddy.  He is an artist and draws really well, he has  for quite some time now.  He spends a lot of extra time at school on art projects, which can get him in trouble for taking too much time.  He likes to make others happy and goes out of his way to do this.  KC is a good student.  He excels in math and actually got sent to the principal's office the other day for a reward because he is doing so well.  He is great with his baby brother, and makes him so happy.  He and Xander are great friends, and play really well together most of the time.

He was baptized on October 8th, the day after his birthday.  It was a great day, especially as a parent, such a great reward seeing your children make great decisions in their life.  I hope to have many more of those days in my lifetime.  We had both my family, and Thomas' family their with us, and some close friends of ours.  It was very nice to see the support that we have from all of them.  Even my favorite great Aunt Judy flew in from  Washington to come, it was so nice having her there with us.  That meant a lot to me.

Here are some pictures we took at the church.  KC was so excited!  He asked his two grandmas to give talks.  His Aunt Kelli led the music.  His biggest cousin Ethan (11)  said the opening prayer.  Xander said the closing prayer, with a little help from me. Both grandpas were the witnesses to his baptism. Daddy baptized and confirmed him.  And grandpas, uncles, and friends stood in the circle.
