8 whole years old and going to be baptized!? I can't believe that our baby is getting so big! He is the best, silliest, sourest boy there is and we love him so much! 

*He told me he knows the tooth fairy isn't real because someone told him at school 

*He has a crush on a girl named Milyn

*He got lice from school and gave it to mom. Luckily we caught it quickly and it didn't spread since he plays really hands-on with his friends and siblings

*He lost his left upper incisor (01-17-23)

*He says "empiker" instead of emperor

*I showed him Friday by Rebecca Black as a fun, Friday song and reminds me each Friday that we need to listen to it as we drive to school

*He started to put his shirts on backwards again. He is always trying to do things really fast

*We went to Minnesota over Spring Break to visit Grandpa and Grandma White on their mission. We went to the Mall of America, the Spam Museum, and ate some really good food

*He got his first library card (03-15-23)

*He and Ava fight all the time, but then are the best of friends

*His favorite church songs are Did You Think to Pray? and America, the Beautiful. He likes to listen to church music when he can't fall asleep and likes to start with the patriotic songs

*He told me that his friend Benson Bess and him talk to their non-member friend Corbin about church and coming to church and their baptisms all the time. They offered to bring him a Book of Mormon, but his mom said no

*He stills says "mackenroni" for macaroni

*He likes to pick things, especially the dried milk from the rim of the gallon of milk

*He loves sleeping in a sleeping bag and sleep so well

*He loves naan bread and will eat so much of it

*When we were hiking in Bryce, he and Ava were hanging back, complaining. He told Ava that they were finally getting along because they were both experiencing something they both hate

*He got his baptism photos done on 06-02-23 by Karly Kleiner. She did great, but it was sad that Grandma White couldn't do them for us

*He told me he wants to work in the temple like me 

*He did karate at the St George Rec Center for a month and liked it, but we couldn't continue because of scheduling conflicts 

*He says "aspposed to" instead of supposed to

*He is constantly doing The Griddy

*He is feeling more confident with his swimming and likes to go off the diving board and down waterslides

*He caught 2 fish while fishing with dad at Sand Hollow

*He started biting our toes randomly for a little while

*He had a late night watching Harry Potter with Maci and Jessie McGee's family and he kept falling asleep. He was super ornery the next day. He doesn't do late nights well and needs his sleep
