Happy Birthday, Brayden!

Brayden turned 12!

 On each of the kids birthdays we let them choose their birthday dinner. Brayden chose Red Robin. The waiters & waitresses sang to him and he got an ice cream sundae.

 Turning 12 for Brayden was a big milestone in the church.
 He received the Aaronic Priesthood. He is excited to get to pass the sacrament and attend the temple to do baptisms for the dead. He had lots of family support attend his ordination. Both sets of grandparents, all of Josh's family with their kids, & Mike & Teresa Strom came. We are all so proud of the choices he has been making to be worthy for this day. After the ordination we came back to the house, served dinner and celebrated his birthday with everyone.
Another accomplishment he has been working on is his Faith in God. He finished it right before his birthday and was awarded his medal at church with his certificate of graduation from Primary.

 We are blessed to have him in our family. He is always happy and has a good attitude about life. He makes others around him smile and laugh. He has a genuine love for others. He constantly thinks about others before himself. He loves to read, biking, being outdoors, scouts, and meeting new people. I am excited to see the changes coming for him and how he chooses to live his life.

We love you Brayden and only want the very best for you. You have so many people around you that support and love you. We are here for anything you need and We love you!

Update: Josh, Brayden and I went to the Rexburg temple for Brayden's first time a few weeks ago.
