Celebrating the light

Jayben was baptized on Saturday March 2, 2013 by his dad.

Witnesses were his grandpa's

In the confirmation circle:

Ben, Jay R, Jay W, Jona, Josh, Jake, Taylor, Nick, David, Marc, Jacob, Arturo and Nate Coombs (2nd counselor in Bishopric)

Jayben was really excited to get baptized.

It was such a great day! It came way too fast (as do most things in parenting). We had a large after party at our house. Lots of friends and family supported Jayben. Couldn't have been more proud of him!

Jayben had a family party for his birthday too. Brit gave him her old Pokemon cards. The one gift that didn't cost a thing ended up being his favorite. Kind of funny. But I will repay Brittany for that wonderful gift some day!!!

2/17/11 Jayben was put on the naughty chair. And while serving his time he was humming the theme to Jeopardy. It was hilarious. But he still had to finish his time.

10/3/10 While watching General Conference on Sunday Jayben asked "What do you have to do to become the phrophet?" I explained to him that he needed to be really good and listen.

8/9/09 Jayben asked "Mom, what's wrong with your belly button?"
7/9/09 while making jam and trying to figure out how many cups are in a pint, Ben touches each of my bum cheeks and tells me I have a pint on each of them.
7/6/09 I had been discussing swimming lessons with Jayben and later he was telling Ben about them. "Dad, Jane teaches kids to swim without life jackets, floaties and swimsuits!"
6/14/09 Ben gave Jayben a drink and told him what flavor it was. Jayben said, "I knew it was Hawaiian punch, my taste BUGS told me!"
6/12/09 Jayben asked us to turn up the radio so he could hear the song and then said, "this song is pumping me up!"
6/1/09 Jayben was on the naughty chair and Ben was telling him that it was too late and he still had to sit on it. Jayben without hesitation starts singing 'It's too late to apologize, it's too late!"
5/30/09 after hitting his friend I asked Jayben why he did it and he said "Because, I told her to enjoy the movie, and she did not enjoy it."
As we are leaving the soccer game Ben asks Jayben "what's daddy got?" He yells "DIArrhea!" Not quite the answer we were looking for but close.
