He is amazing! Happy Birthday Alden! Special wishes for your Baptism Day :)
How cute! I didnt realize that Laden was the same age as my Taran. He is also in 2nd grade, but not 8 yet.
I loved that he pays to 'feast on the scriptures' and wants to move where the saints are!
Gorgeous pictures. I love your Halloween decorating. Love it. Really you need to find me that book pumpkin link. I LOVE your picture of Lucy turning 5. Gorgeous.
Alden really is a great kid! Turning 8 is a big deal. It'll be so exciting to have him join Cubs!
Happy birthday to Alden! A few things I wouldn't have guessed about Alden...dance music? Sad we missed you guys when we were down. Enjoy his baptism day.
Yup, Alden is pretty awesome. A good heart through and through.
He's growing up so fast! I love that you made this list for him. He has such amazing eyes, Rhonda!
I'm with ya on the hockey thing.
I always enjoy these posts about your kids. As they get older, they will love reading what they were like at various ages.
Alden really is a sweet boy, Happy Birthday to him!
