The reason for our trip home in June was Aden's Baptism. I can't believe he is eight already. Jade and Jeff's boys are growing up so fast. They are all baptized now and soon the priesthood ordinations will begin. Wow. I am grateful for their family. Grateful that they are striving to go and do the things they need to in order to raise their kids with a desire to serve the Lord. That is no small task in any day and age, and especially not easy now. I love the men in white. Aden was so nervous and a little scared that everyone would be looking at him. (He is a little on the shy side) He did just fine and his Daddy was there to help him through it all.
The men that were in the circle to bless Aden with the Gift of the Holy Ghost. The priesthood is a powerful thing and I am further grateful we have such committed priesthood holders in our family. It is a comforting feeling to know they are there for us in our families. From the left is Jamie, Papa K. Grumpy, R.B., Papa H. Jeff, Heber (Jeff's Dad), and Nathan. In front are the brothers 3, Jaxon, Aden and Ryker. Handsome men, all of them.
Lunch at the Olive Garden (Aden's choice). He does love his Olive Garden. It was quite a group! We had two waitresses that did an amazing job taking care of this motley crew. Just keeping up with all the kids drinks was a job by itself! So glad so many could come and enjoy the day with the Jarvis'. These are the days we live for. (well, I do anyway) Below is Taylor and his crazy hair. He is such a great young man. Gotta love the crazy hair. (you should have seen the back to really appreciate it).
I hope Aden will remember this day always and know how much we love him. I am writing these things down so that someday if he reads this he will know what a special day it was for him. He truly has such a sweet spirit and I know he will grow into a fine young man.
We love you so much Aden.
