We-e-e-ell, I certainly cannot be called an active "blogger" now can I? What happened to February? What happened to most of March? Frankly, lots of stuff has been happening, I just couldn't bring myself to hook my camera up to the computer and load the pictures. But since I am heading out tomorrow for the great American West, I figured I better get it done.
February was all about the Trumanator.
He turned EIGHT this year!
Which is an important birthday for us "Mormons". He was baptized and we are so proud of him. And as usual I went crazy & we had some fabulous birthday fun!
Any-who, here we go...
The Birthday!
This year Trum's birthday fell on a Tuesday, which just happens to be our craziest day of the week.
We started off with a stack of mini pancakes and a candle.

| We of course needed some legos with our birthday breakfast. |

That evening we went to Nitty Gritty's for dinner. They have great burgers and fun stuff for birthdays, including a glass mug that you get to keep. It was really for that mug that we moved back to Madison. Now we have three and we can each have a root beer float in one!
 |
| Then it was off to our regularly scheduled Tuesday night activities, Judo and Cub Scouts. Except that it was Trum's first official night as a scout with his new uniform and everything. |
The Party!
Of course we had a party! We went to a local restaurant called Rocky Rococo's. It is kind of like Chuck'E'Cheese only the pizza actually tastes good.
The Cousins!
We have the best family! Jack's mom, my parents and my brother and his family, all came to town to be with Truman for his baptism. It was so great! The night before, the kids all went swimming at the hotel pool.

The Baptism
It was a great day! It couldn't have been any better. Truman was so excited and he was so sweet. He was really trying to be reverent and I think he understood the importance of what he was doing as well as enjoying the fun of cousins, friends and refreshments! I hope that he will have good memories of the day.

Side note:
Take a look at my natural hair color. I haven't seen it since the seventh grade. I wanted to see what it looked like and to see if I had any white hair. Looks pretty good and so far only one white hair.
