02-01-17 TO 02-28-17: February 2017!


February was a busy month for our family!
Our sweet Luke was BAPTIZED a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!
The last 2 months have been so spiritual for us as we have had many lessons from Home Teachers and Family Home Evenings about baptism! 
So here's our month in review :)


Feb 3rd
Luke's grade performed a song about INTEGRITY in front of the whole school!
He did a great job!
I think he looks just a little bit nervous ;)

February 4th
Today was the baptism!
Luke was so excited and nervous.
We all were!
There were 4 stake baptisms that day.
We had so many friends and family there to support us.
I had the privilege to speak about Baptism.
Adam was so cute and sat next to Luke and held his hand.
Joshua baptized Luke, and Papa and Uncle Brad were the witnesses.


What a special day it was for Luke and his Family. We are so proud of Luke for his desire to be baptized. Luke brings so much fun and joy to his family and we are grateful for his spirit.




Everyone got a new outfit, the 3 boys had matching ties, and then this is the only photo I got of out family darn it!

This is the table I put together with just fun things about our Luke.
he loves legos, pokemon, all things military.  He's an excellent student and loves his family.
I love him so much!!
When the bishop introduced Luke and talked a little about him this is a few things he said:
His favorite place to go was the Cabin,
his favorite game was Trouble
He favorite food was a pizza meat thing
(we still don't know what that is)
He likes to help his brother and Mommy and Daddy
His favorite color is blue and he likes Pokemon!

Great Grandpa Nelson said the closing prayer.

The Summers came up with their friend Sidney.
ALL of the cousins on both sides of the family
sang "I AM A CHILD OF GOD" during the program.

Aunt Steffy gave a talk about the Holy Ghost after which Luke was
confirmed a member of the Church and rec'd the Holy Ghost by his Daddy.

Other family and friends that came:
Christopher Nelson Family
The Call Family
Michael Nelson Family
The Collard Family
The Ostorga Family
The Davis Family
The Wilhelmsen Family

February 10th
We were desperate to go outside today!

So we went on a little walk about in the neighborhood in the rain
with our umbrellas!

Feb 10th continued...
Sometimes I am a fun mom!
Not only did we take a walk in the rain, but we also made valentine boxes!
Luke made a robot for his valentine box.
He worked really hard on it (and I helped a bit)
I think it turned out awesome!

I made Adam a train for his Valentines box.
He decorated it with star stickers and colorings.

Feb 14th
Happy Valentines Day!!

At Adam's Valentines activity at his preschool/daycare.
Technically he has the day off today, but we came to exchange valentines
with his friends :)

These were the gorgeous flowers from my Valentine :)

February 22nd
Today was Luke's very first cubscout pack meeting!
(We missed the last one due to Adam breaking his head open....)
Luke went up to be a part of the Pledge of Allegiance.
He was terrified. LOL
Only because we didn't prepare him for what to expect and he had no idea
what he was supposed to do up there.
But it was really no biggie :)

February 28th
The boys got haircuts at Nana's
and then she spoiled them by letting them bathe in her jacuzzi.
They LOVED it.  There was so many bubbles!
The laughs and the giggles were nonstop
and when it was time to get out, sad faces. lol

And here's my handsome fellas sporting their new haircuts!
They are SO handsome!!!!
