Rhett turned twelve on the 12th. You know what that means....Golden Birthday. He was more excited than you could know. He even thought he might have trouble sleeping the night before. On Friday morning, we were all wishing him a happy birthday when Stephen mentioned that he was now old enough to go on the Deacon's campout they were having that night. We called the leaders and asked if that would be OK. What a great way to spend your birthday. All he wanted for his birthday was an airsoft gun so he could play with Stephen and Nick. That's what he got. So far, his birthday was a hit!
We had already decided to have his party on Monday since there was no school. He really just wanted to see Percy Jackson, the Lightening Thief. He invited a few friends and that's what we did. They all came over first thing in the morning, we had cinnamon rolls and sang to Rhett, then headed out for the movie. Some of them liked it and some were disappointed it didn't follow the book that well. I took most my other kids as well. After the movie, two of the boys went home and two that live close by came and hung out for the rest of the day.
On Sunday, he was ordained to be a Deacon and is now officially a priesthood holder. We are so proud of him and all he has become. Good things lie ahead for Rhett. Happy Birthday!
Ben, Rhett, Wyatt, Spencer and Jake
