September 28, 2008 Vance's 12th Birthday!

Sunday we celebrated Vance's 12th Birthday.
He was excited to graduate from primary and
receive the Aaronic Priesthood.

Vance also got to attend his first Stake fireside.
He was excited to be able to go with Taylor and
be grown up.

I am so impressed by what a good young man
Vance has become. He is obedient and tries to
please everyone. He is a good example to his
family.

These are just some fun pictures from our
family birthday party!!!
