HILARIOUS!!! :O)

One day, I was alone in the living room, when suddenly Jaren came down from upstairs with a note WRITTEN on his white undershirt by Oliver...

Translation: "Hey Mom, I've got a poopy diaper."

I don't know when I've ever laughed sooooooooooooooo hard!!!

13 JULY - BBQ with Friends and Former Missionaries

We were able to get together with some former Elders who served here in Waterloo over 4 years ago! Ed was the Ward Mission Leader and I was a Ward Missionary at church at the time so we really got to know these guys! We got a BBQ set up and invited some other families from the ward to come and visit with them! It was a blast! Too bad they couldn't stay here in town longer, but they had many other towns and families to visit! We hope they had a fun time visiting good ol' Waterloo again!!!

11 JULY - Oliver's Birthday and Baptism!!!

OLIVER'S BAPTISM - Well, we've waited 8 years for this day and it finally arrived! I remember when Ollie was younger he was so nervous to be dunked under the water! Ed practiced with him at the pool one night and he seemed to do fine with it!

He designed his own program cover with a picture of Ed baptising him. I'll have to scan it and include it on here! It started at 11 am, the morning of his actual birthday! We were very excited that he could be baptised on his birthday! It will definitely be easier to remember when his baptism day was!

Opening Song: "Come, Follow Me"
Opening Prayer: Janine Palmer, Grandmother
Talk on Baptism: Bishop Andy Jolley
Ordinance of Baptism performed by: Edward Palmer, Father
Talk on the Holy Ghost: David Palmer, Grandfather
Confirmation of the Gift of the Holy Ghost by: Edward Palmer, Father (David Palmer, Bishop Jolley, Garran Gillespie, Elder Thomas & Elder Gillespie)
Closing Song: "Teach Me to Walk in the Light"

OLIVER'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION -

After Oliver's baptism we went back to Ed's parent's house for lunch and further birthday celebrations! Ollie opened some presents after lunch, blew out his candles and made his birthday wish. We then went to see the movie "UP" in the theater! After that, we headed to our local DQ for some tasty frozen goodness!!! It was a fun day for everyone, especially my little man, Ollie!

Ollie got lots of new books to read for his birthday!

"Go, web, GO!!!"
