Boys Baptism & Pumpkins

The boys were baptized in September 2011. I can't believe they will be 9 years old this year! It still seems like Amber & I just got married last month. Amazing how time flies. We are so proud of the decisions the boys are making. They really are special. They also get lots of attention at school and at home. So many kids want to play with them. Who wouldn't want to play with two kids that look the same?

Then in October, the boys carved pumpkins for the first time. Here is how they turned out:









Pretty good huh? Of course we used a tracing pattern, but they cut them out.

"Each family prayer, each episode of family scripture study, and each family home evening is a brushstroke on the canvas of our souls. No one event may appear to be very impressive or memorable. But just as the yellow and gold and brown strokes of paint complement each other and produce an impressive masterpiece, so our consistency in doing seemingly small things can lead to significant spiritual results."
