ALL ABOUT JAVIN

Javin also did soccer camp with Caellum this year. He is a really fast runner and he was playing with kids a lot older than him because he turned 8 the week of soccer camp and he was playing in the 8-10 year old bracket. I think it's good for him to be with older kids that know how to concentrate and it pushes him to try a little harder. He's getting to be a really good player and here he is with coach Lucy. She was great with him!
This was the end of camp ceremonies. He had been assigned to team Spain and so he's carrying his flag. Javin was working the robot while the music was blaring. He was about the only one who danced everyone else just ran through. Those of you who know Javin well will not be surprised by this. He just can't contain himself and must dance at every chance he can get.

JAVIN GOT BAPTIZED!!

With dad away Javin got the rare opportunity to choose amongst his many worthy uncles and grandpas to step in and baptize him. He ended up choosing Grandpa Dennis to baptize him and Papa "Grandpa Thompson" to confirm him. We were so lucky to be close to family and all of Javin's family, including great grandparents were able to attend. I should have thought and documented the event better but I was a little preoccupied with the Skype call that didn't end up working to Ryan and my little crazy 1 year old. I have been so grateful to be surrounded by so many worthy priesthood holders to be such great examples to my boys while there dad is gone. I really do appreciate all of the grandpas and uncles who love my boys and beat them up while there dad is away. I'm also grateful for wonderful grandmas and aunts and cousins.

I'm lucky to be a mom to such great kids!!
