I had to post this cute picture of Corban when he turned 8 and was baptized just to show how much he's grown. We talked about how his next big birthday after this would be when he turned 12.
The time went by way too fast!
Today was Corban's birthday and he turned 12! What a great birthday to have on a Sunday! He was sustained in Sacrament Meeting to receive the Aaronic Priesthood and to be ordained to the office of a Deacon. When Bishop Fultz called him up to the stand Corban had a huge smile on his face and couldn't keep from grinning the whole time he was standing there. He has been waiting for this day for a very long time. He kept smiling the remainder of the day too. He got his temple recommend signed and we will go do baptisms for the dead later this week. He will pass the sacrament and go do fast offerings next Sunday for the first time.
This was the year that Corban could have a friend party (we don't do them every year) and since we knew his birthday would be on a Sunday and right when school started again, we decided to have his party at the end of the school year instead. We celebrated it on June 1st (a few months early). It ended up being a celebration for the end of 5th grade as well as his birthday! He and his friends went to the Dartside for a Nerf battle. They had a lot of fun and got a lot of energy out. Afterwards they ate pizza and cookies. It was a fun birthday party!
Carter, Sam, Jaxton, Peter, Dallan, Corban, Kevin, Dillon, and Brock
(Poor Kevin broke his leg the day before and spent the night in the hospital, but he didn't want to miss the party. He came and watched the boys battle.)
