So I know it is WAY overdue- but Kat turned 6 in December. Her birthday is the 19
th so it kind of gets swooped into everything. Plus this year was her turn to have a little
party. So we just had her friend Anna over for pizza and then went roller skating. I didn't get any good pictured of Kat cause she was like a baby horse on the rink. Thank goodness we only stayed 30 minutes! I did have a few middle school flashbacks and had to race around the rink getting lost in the disco lights and Abba songs. Below is Jason pushing Alex along the only way he was able. Tuck and Roll!
The biggest event of course was Adam's baptism! It was such a big day for our family since he is the first grandson on both sides. There is something to be said about 3 generations of
Livingstons being
baptised and still committed to the Gospel. Jason baptised him and gave him the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Kat sang a solo I am a child of God and My parents and I sang with the guitar I need the every hour. I love to sing with them. Both of the grandpas spoke and cried! I think they were so touched that their legacy continues in our children. It was a very proud day all around. We were lucky to have some of Adam's school friends be there too. We had an open house after at home and it was monumental to have the
Livingstons and
Keatings sit down together. I didn't realized how much they have in common! The whole day was a blessing.
The newest pose for Church media. Aren't they inspirational??
I was so revved up to start 2009! December was so crazy with two birthdays Christmas and a
baptism! One thing that was super-cool is that we found a
creperie! It was so fun to go to a "french" place on a Saturday. They might as well been
charging euros it's was so pricey but I think it was worth it. The kids were super happy. I guess you can take the kids out of Europe but not the Europe out of the kids!
Next we had Kat's investiture ceremony. She recited the Girl Scout pledge and law and got her vest and patches. I made these fabulous cookies
courtesy of a cookie decorating class I took. (
Hollah! Jana!!) I had to stand two steps down from the girls because I am so gigantic. But it was still a nice evening.
Our most recent news is that Adam had his Pinewood Derby this weekend. And he won! The whole thing!! It was unbelievable! We had been prepping him all day to loose (because the regatta was such a failure) but
BAM his car came out of no where!!
Jason was very involved and did a lot of research this week to perfect the car. It's hard to see but it has a space theme and was named "infinite wormhole" . We were so proud we had to get
icecream after.
So January flew by. Today I taught at the Stake
Enrichment. I had been planning it for almost 2 months and again I am glad it is over, but I loved it. I love teaching and I am so blessed to have a lot of
opportunities here in Texas. I am now getting ready for two more projects coming down the pipeline! So got to run but I thought of you
Internet- until next time!
