jayden's new bike

jayden has been long over due for a new bike for a couple of years now. grandma and grandpa durrant stopped by the house to suprise jayden with a new bike. grandma however came up with a contract that jayden has to abide by in order to keep his new bike.
1. he has to teach bubba how to ride his old bike.
2. he has to read to grandma everyday (except sunday) for 20 minutes.
3. he has to quickly obey when he is asked to do something by an adult.
she had quite the list going. i can't remember the rest. jayden was excited because his bike looks just like logan's bike. jayden tried to give bubba a pump but bubba didn't want to try. give him some time and i think he will give in.

jayden's big day

i got to wondering if jayden was ever going to get baptized. we decided not to have it done while we were in texas for the summer because none of our family would have been able to be there. then we were going to have a combined one with his cousin logan on halloween but changed our minds because jay's parents were in new mexico and felt it was really important that they didn't miss it. then we were going to have him baptized with our stake in december but again changed our minds. we decided to make a trip to new mexico for thanksgiving because jay's parents weren't going to make it home. aunt kendra volunteered to arrange a baptism for us.

it was a perfect day and we had such a beautiful program. thanks so much kendra. those in attendance were grandpa and grandma durrant, aunt karen, the price family and cousin kristy.

The Mohawk

Jayden was overdue for a haircut so the guys decided it would be cool to shave Jayden's hair and give him a Mohawk. Jayden was so excited and kept bugging us for about a week before we shaved his hair. Shortly after beginning Jayden got a little nervous as he was afraid what he was going to look like. The mohawk only lasted for a week before Jayden wanted it shaved off.

Our Little Entrepreneur

Jay came up with a way for Jayden to make a little bit of money this summer. He told him he could make signs for the techs and then sell them for 10 cents. The techs loved this idea because making signs can be a hassle.
Jayden enlisted the help of his little brother. Jayden assigned Bubba to putting black tips on the poles and then Jayden would finish by screwing the sign to the pole.
