baptism and a birthday

i don't even want to begin blogging for november.  it was another busy month and i have a lot i want to document.  but, this is the most important thing that happened.  cohen turned 8 and got baptized!!  i can't say enough about this kid.  he is the most kind hearted kid i know.  he has always been so kind to everyone and truly wants to please.  i just had his parent teacher conference and the teachers could not stop talking about how much they love him.  they said how he is always focused, determined to follow every step, works easily with everyone and they can always depend on him.  my heart wanted to burst and i almost started crying from everything they were saying.  he is a friend to everyone and constantly wants to play!  he is my sporty kid.  loves throwing the football and especially loves tennis.  he really enjoys playing tennis with his dad.  i recently asked his coach if it is worth keeping him in (cause tennis is not a cheap sport, he does private lessons twice a week and match play on saturdays).  his coach said he is speedy, athletic and listens.  he also said he will definitely play for BYU (cohen's goal is to be on the BYU tennis team).  we just love this kid to pieces.  the day of his baptism he was just beaming!  he got a set of scriptures for his grandpa and grandma anderson and loves to read them.  i love finding him reading all by his self.

for his party this year he wanted to go to gravady with all his friends.  he had a fun time playing with them all.
