Drake's 8th b-day and baptism

Drake turned the big 8! I can't say enough good things about this boy! I just really have a very special place for him in my heart. I just want the very best for him. He is such a good boy. He always tries to be good, he is kind to everyone, he is serious, sweet, smart, tender, athletic, fair and loyal! I have had many people tell me how nice he is. He is a rule follower and doesn't like when people don't play fair. He definitely didn't get my cheating gene while playing games:) He doesn't easily see differences or care if other kids are "cool" or not. There have been times I have had to remind him that his sister Laynie is a bit different than him and may not understand things the way he does. He doesn't see her as different at all, which I love! I can't believe he is 8! 

He was a super spoiled boy and got an Xbox! 

He had such a fun birthday party and we rented out the movie theater and they watched The Secret Life of Pets!!!

Our boy also got baptized! It's so crazy to believe he is old enough!

It was a beautiful day! And the day went perfectly! 

His dad baptized and confirmed him and did a great job!

We love our families!

Drake with Grandpa and Grandma Petersen

Drake with Bishop Stockstead and his wife and also his primary teacher sister Stockstead.

I love these three buddies so much. They have been friends since they were babies! 

And I love these boy's moms! They are my bestest friends and I love them lots!

Thanks everyone for loving and supporting Drake! It sure is GREAT TO BE 8!!!!

Flag Football

Flag football was a blast! Drake and Trevor have so much fun! The Warriors were undefeated and were awesome to watch!!!! Drake made many touch downs and was a flag pulling machine. 

Trevor loves to coach and he is so good at it! He has a love of the sport which he has definitely passed down to Drake!

Cutie

We sure love this little cutie! She is so sweet, sassy, and full of spunk!
