I can't believe it, Kobie has turned 8 and got baptized. It doesn't seem like it was 8 yrs ago that that sweet little, okay big, baby came into our family. For his birthday we had Corey's brother Jason here, the Steeds came over along with our neighbors, Jarel and Malik. We had cake and ice cream. Kobie's cake was of Sonic the Hedgehog, yes that is the blue videogame caracter. I had a great time making his cake, that is one thing that I truly enjoy doing, making the boys cakes. We didn't have any games or anything big planned just to hang out and let the kids play. I will say though I was a little sad that I forgot to charge the camera battery so I didn't get pictures of him blowing out the candles or opening his presents. Oh well you live and learn right. I did make sure it was charge for his baptism.
Yesterday, July 18, 2009, Kobie got baptized. It doesn't seem like I am old enough to have a child old enough to be baptized. He and Corey did a great job. My mom and dad came on Wednesday and brought two of our nieces with them, Marissa and Charie. We all had a wonderful time playing around the Atlanta area the last couple of days. Wednesday night after their plane came in we went out to Stone Mountain for the Lazer Show, it was really neat, loud but neat. Thursday morning we went blueberry picking and then to the Braves game that night.
We had a great time at the game, Cole ate his cotton candy in about 3 mins. The kid would not slow down but he enjoyed it. Friday we drove up to Helen and intertubed down the river through the town. We hadn't done that before and it was fun. Cole got dumped off of his tube and it kind of freaked him out, so I hop out of my tube to put him back in and it was deeper than I had expected. We all had a great time and are looking forward to taking Corey up to do it too. The baptism was a great experience, we had a joint baptism with Olivia Sorenson she is one of the kids in Kob's church class. We had the service and then some 
refreshments afterward at the church. We missed the family that couldn't come and appreciate the family that was there, Mom and Dad, the girls and the Steeds. Thanks for all of your support on a wonderful day and an important one for Kobie. Here are some pics of our different activities from the last few weeks.
