Happy 14th Birthday Jordan

Thanks everyone for making my birthday special.

LOOK WHAT WE DID ON SATURDAY!!!!!!

SCROLL DOWN.

We baptised our daughter. We have a list in our church called The Article's of Faith, that state the things that we believe in. Number 4 reads: We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the gospel are fist, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, repentance; third, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. On Saturday, our daughter took upon her the name of Jesus Christ and was baptised and received the Holy Ghost. It's such a big day. Because on Sunday in church, the Bishopric announces, "We have a new member of the church, Mallory Lo." A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH!!!! Sounds so grownup, or something, to me.

Christian and Jordan

Jordan. Greatest kid alive. Excellent long boarder, concert pianist, passed and got into the Early College Program at El Toro High starting in September, entering Seminar in September, Honor Roll student, Second baseman on the Tustin Titans travel ball team, outfielder on the Broncos' Pony League, and Deacon's Quorum President, and a major hunk!!

Christian. Coming into his own. Excellent swimmer, loves the Lakers and basketball and knows ALL the fouls, and gets upset when the referees don't call it right for the Laker games, pianist, working on passing all of his Articles of Faith and getting the covenant "BIG COOKIE", Left fielder and Second baseman for Lake Forest Little League AAA division Huskers, and future hunk of burning love.

Jett Lo. That's exactly what we call him!!!

Well, look who turns four next week. I don't know why or how it all started, but we don't call him Jett. We actually say, Jett Lo. "Have you seen Jett Lo? Tom, where is Jett Lo I need to give him a bath." I would like to say it went fast, but Jett has always been to hard to raise that I feel like saying, "Four!! Shouldn't he be ten by now!!??!" He has aged me. Sometimes I wonder if other mothers have children this difficult and just embrace it, or don't mind, but I find it hard and exhausting. But, I love this picture of him. He is lucky he is getting cuter. It's the only thing that saves him.

I don't know about you, but it seems like it sure is good to be a kid these days. Or at least our kids. I like to hand make their Easter baskets, and put in the things I know they would each like. Christians had a Lego set and this cool Pop Rocks that you put in a test tube and add some solution to it, and it boils up out of the tube, and then you can drink it. Mallory had Pixos in hers. She loves Pixos. And Jetts had a bubble tumbler and the ever popular pinwheel, which I think has been a favorite for decades with kids. Jordan said, "Your not getting me an Easter basket, RIGHT!! I'm too old for that, mom. I just want a chocolate bunny." But I mean, really, who is going to know. Your friends aren't here Easter morning. He has officially out grown the Easter Bunny. But I couldn't resist, so I got him a very small basket, with no cellophane, with a chocolate Easter bunny, some Warheads, and a gift card. I love doing all the Easter baskets. What will I do with all my energy when the last of our kids, Jett, says I'm too old for Easter baskets mom, just a chocolate bunny please.
