Jaxon- 12 Years Old!

Jaxon August 20, 1998
Jaxon August 20, 2010. WOW! Jaxon could hardly wait for his birthday. As you may know Jaxon's life is baseball. So he was anxious to see his gifts. He was up before 7:00 so he could open them before Carson and Mason left for school and Jim left for work. The smile grew with each gift. A Don Mattingly: Batting is Simple book.He was excited with the Strausburg Jersey from the Nationals ( Jaxon will where No shirt that is not baseball related or related to the Red Sox or Mets, because they are sissy's)
But check out this smile below. The Glove! He goes straight for this glove in every sporting goods store and we struggle to get him to put it down. It is now his and I don't think he has put it down since.

Jaxon has a little birthday tradition. We go to the Gateway (a mall in downtown Salt Lake) Have lunch at The Skybox and he gets a new hat which he was excited to spend his birthday money on.
Here he is in all his new baseball stuff!

Sunday was an extra special day, 12 Years old is a big year in The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. Jaxon recieved the Priesthood and Jim was able to Ordain him a Deacon, he goes to a different Sunday class and now will have a weekly "Young Mens" activity which mainly focuses on his scouting merit badges. He will also have some Sunday responsibilities, primarily passing the sacrament in our Sunday services. We are so proud of you Jaxon.
WE LOVE YOU!
