No more car seats

On August 2nd, 1997, we put a newborn car seat into our car.  From there we have had infant car seats, forward-facing car seats, and booster seats in our car.  Last week we took out the last booster.  That's it.  For the 1st time in over 17 years, there isn't a car seat in our car.  Our baby turned 8.  We had quite the party for our Easton.  It started when his Aunt Elizabeth came to town, and ended when his Aunt Suzanne and cousin Emily left town 6 days later.  For his birthday, he got to have orange rolls for breakfast, a Lunchable for lunch at school, then we tried out a new place, the Pizza Studio, for dinner.  He even had jalapenos on his pizza.  That evening  he was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by his brother, Logan.  A lot of family and friends came to support Easton.  That night we enjoyed Ewok cake (thanks to Elizabeth) and some game-playing.  For his birthday he got a set of scriptures, and he has been very diligent in reading them.  He even bore his testimony in church today, about how he loves the scriptures and feels the spirit when he reads them.  The 8-year old Easton is funny, missing a front tooth, tall, smart, and loving.
