May 2

Danny was baptized yesterday. We're so proud of him. He's such a wonderful boy. My mom and dad and Dustin, Kristal and Casey came. and Linda and Trina. We left the younger kids at home for lunch so it was just a special time for Danny. He requested that we got to Red Lobster for his lunch-he loves seafood and wanted to try lobster. He loved it.

The baptism started at 4:00. Everything went great. He said he felt the spirit then and he was happy. He plans on teaching family home evening on Monday so I look forward to hearing what he has to say.

After the baptism we all went to Uswirl--the kid's favorite ice cream place. He got a few gifts--a CTR tie and a book for him to write his memories in and Rachel made him a new pillow case. Sandy and May from next door came. We were so glad they could make it. They seemed to enjoy it, although it was a little crowded and there was a lot of shuffling of rooms because it was a stake baptism and there were several kids being baptized this month. Danny and I plan to go over and talk to them about it later today.

Aaron has been having a bad week for tantrums. I don't know what sets him off. Everyday has been a real struggle. I tried to see if it was his diet because he is a picky eater and likes a lot of snacks. So I talked with him and he's been trying hard to limit his sugar and make healthier choices. He was pretty cooperative. But this weekend with everyone here, he just ate what he wanted. I'm interested to see when we get back to it this week if that has any affect on his tantrums. He had so many tantrums all weekend with everyone here too.

I've been feeling so much less sick and less tired this week. It just keeps getting better. This is much earlier to get better than with other pregnancies. I don't really have any memories of being sick with Rachel, though, so maybe it means this one is a girl.
