Jerrin Turns 8!

On June 16, 2009, Jerrin Andrew Hunter, turned 8 years old! I can hardly believe that my little boy is old enough to be baptized. Once his birthday came he could hardly wait. Actually, I think that the "he could hardly wait" started when he turned 7. After having to wait all the way until June 28, he had a very nice baptism that was full of family and friends, including his Great Grandma Conklin, who was visiting from California. We are so grateful that he loves the gospel and was so excited to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are so proud of you, Jerrin!



In addition to being baptized, and equally exciting, is the fact that 8-year-olds get to start Cub Scouts! Jerrin was so excited to start scouts that he earned his Bobcat in just one week, and has already completed one requirement out of 12 for his wolf and has earned his gold arrow-point. If there were one word to describe Jerrin it would be Enthusiasm. Just ask anyone that knows him! Dallin has also been working on Cub Scouts and was able to receive his Bear the same day that Jerrin received his Bobcat. Now we are working hard to finish his Conservation Badge and as many arrow points as we can before his birthday at the end of next month.

With Cub Scouts comes Cub Camp. Brandon has Mondays off and he spent it this week with the boys at Cub Camp. They had a great time. We are blessed with good boys in our ward, and fantastic Cub Leaders! They are continuing to enjoy camp and we girls are enjoying quiet days full of shopping and chick flicks!



This is the flag I made for their pack.

Good job, Jerrin! Now I know you are capable of folding things made of fabric. You should try folding your laundry sometime!

Howdy, Partner!





Time to practice the skit

What a cute kid!



It looks like the whole Posse is having a good time. Thank you, Sister Butler, for making this such a great experience for our boys!
