Our Weekend
Saturday was a big day for Madilyn.....She was baptized
She was so nervous.....
but she was so brave, in fact she was the very first baptism of the night. When all was said and done she wanted to do it again. She said it was "fun" (I can't quite figue out what she is doing with her toes.It looks like she is missing one)
A couple of days ago she asked me if she could wear goggles when she was baptized. She went on to ask if it would be okay to wear goggles if they were white and had angels on them. She makes me laugh. Since she has been acting like she is 16 lately and being a little sassy, her question reminded me how innocent she truly is. We are so proud of Madilyn and her decision to be baptized. What a good example she is for her younger sister and brothers. She was beaming the rest of the night.
Oh, the cake. We couldn't get enough of the cake. SO good.
The famous ugly, big (did I mention ugly) BROWN couch that is the back drop for all the pictures. Here are the kids with their cousin Harlyn. I'm pretty sure Harlyn (10 months) and Preston are the same size.
Just a random picture of Madilyn holding a butterball, I mean Preston. When he is fussy and I'm trying to finish the dishes or something she can help out for about 30 seconds before her arm about falls off because Preston is so heavy.
Cody asked me the other day if we could keep Preston or if we had to give him back. How sad that he had been thinking that we had to give him back. I told Cody he was ours forever and that he was a part of our family. Ever since that little conversation Cody cannot get enough of his "baby budder" He smothers him with sticky kisses and is always super gentle and sweet to him. As "tough" as Cody is he amazes me at how tender he is with Preston. It is so cute.
Madi on her daisy diva cruiser. I know some of these are random but that's ok right?? We had such a nice weekend. It went by so fast. Thanks to all the family who spent it with us. Sorry I didn't slow down and take more pictures of grandparents and Aunts and Uncles.

It's Great to Be 8
I cannot believe our little 5lb 3oz bundle of joy is now 8 years old!!
She HAD to have a stuffed golden retriever. Like she doesn't have a bazillion stuffed animals already.
She opened lots of fun stuff. She has a new bike on the way. UPS is behind schedule I guess. She insisted on a bike with a basket so she could put her puppy in it.
Happy Birthday Madilyn Dear.....
Make a wish!!!

Kissable
Preston is growing at record speed. I swear everyday he looks different to me. Check out those cheeks. So squishy and kissable. I just can't get enough of him. As you can see he has lost half of his hair on top of his head. I noticed that when after I got him out of the bath the other day. It wasn't like that before I put him in. I think I scrubbed it off :)
Sleepy boy....with droopy eyes
So sweet
The famous Oakeson kid pose. My kids never liked to be swaddled to much. They like to
