Bronsen has been waiting a long time to be eight. From what I could tell, he had the best birthday ever! He seriously celebrated from sun up to well past sun down. His morning started with an 8 - shaped pancake and dollar under his breakfast plate. Then we made cupcake ice cream cones for his class.

Then immediate after school some friends went on a hike with him. It kind of turned from a hike, to a game of hide and seek, to a game of lets beat all the limbs off this dead tree. We followed this up with ice cream at Patio.

Then for the second best reason to be 8! In our house that means you are old enough for a BB gun.

It comes with lots of safety advice!


As if he wasn't already spoiled enough, he got golf clubs from his grandparents! All of the cousins ended up coming over to wish him happy birthday about the time we were ready to cut the cake, so they all joined in. It was seriously an all day party for him. Happy Birthday Bronsen!!

On Friday night Bronsen was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The #1 reason it's so great to be eight! (This made me feel so old.) I can't believe how grown up he is. Bronsen really thought a lot about this decision. I'm so glad he has his own little testimony.
Here's a little video we put together of Bronsen and showed at the baptism.
