A Birthday, A Baptism and More.....

Last week was another crazy week. Our final Birthday of the month. Ryan's birthday was last Monday. We went to dinner with some family and friends we had a great time.

Then on Tuesday we threw a shower for Mallorie, it turned out really good.

Last but definitely not least Sam got Baptised on Saturday. They did his baptism early so he could attend the Temple Dedication on Sunday. What an amazing day. I am so proud of his choice to get baptized. Thanks everyone who came and supported Sam on his big day. :0) Let me tell you it was the most eventful baptism I have ever been too. Tony and Missy were stuck in traffic so they were late plus some lady wouldn't let them in a door and made them go around. Jeremy and Jeanna barely made it in time to see the baptism because Dex had a football game earlier, Dex had the black make up lines under his eyes and was caring his belt in, Brianne was running in with her shoes in her hands because a few doors they tried were locked and they had to run around the building, Drew fell in the font; so so so funny, and during the confirmation there was some girl in the chapel just singing as loud as she could. Sam's baptism is for sure one we will never forget.

Lil' Will

Lil' Will got a haircut last week. Here are some cute pictures of the event.

Happy Birthday Sam!!!

Today is Sammy's Birthday, I can't believe he is 8. Sam is such a fun great kid. He is such a big help too. Hope you have a good day Sam.

Our Anniversary!

Last Friday, August 7th was our 11th wedding anniversary, so we decided a few days before that to make a quick trip to Cali and go to Disneyland. I love last minute trips. I have always wanted to go to Disneyland with out my kids so I can ride the rides I want. We had so much fun. Thanks Ry for taking me!!! :0)
The only reason Ryan went was to get a yummy turkey leg.

This is the first time we sat down all day, it was at 8, we were so exhausted

Happy Birthday Jack Jack!!!

Today is Jacks birthday. I can't believe he is 5. Jack is such a good kid, he is always cracking us up too. We are so grateful that he is part of our family. Today we had an exciting combined birthday party for him and Sam. (Sams birthday is next week)We had so much fun today. Man I can not believe my boys would hold those icky snakes.

Lake Powell I Love You!!!

Last week we were able to go to Lake Powell. Man I love that place I have been going since I was a little girl and can't get enough of it. We went with my parents, my brother Jeremy and his family, my brother Van and his family, and my cousin Garret and his family. We had such a great time and I really want to go back soon.
Sam had so much fun wake boarding.
One night we took the girls on the Ski Bob and they had so much fun they ended up naming him Ski Bob Johnny.
Jacks favorite thing at Lake Powell was cliff jumping. We got him jumping even higher than this. When we first got there we could barely get him to jump off the boat.
All of the girls jumping. Me, Brianne, Rylee, Jeanna, Macey, & Amber.
Every year the kids make up skits and perform them for us. We had a huge rock that they were able to use as their stage.
Our Cute little family, minus Lil' Will he stayed home with Grandma Tina and Aunt Missy. It was so nice not having to worry about him.
Ryan and Sam cliff jumping.
This is our camp we had shade until 11 in the morning then again around 5 it was so nice.
Hole-In-the-Rock. Every year we go to Hole-In-the-Rock, but this is the first time we climbed it. I am so glad that we decided to climb it, it was so awesome. Other than the gross rattle snake I saw that totally freaked me out.

This is about half way to the top, look how tiny the boats look. And look how tiny the water line looks.
This is at the very top looking down.
We left Jack back at camp with Grandma and Grandpa.
The kids had so much fun tubing, wakeboarding, cliff jumping and swimming.
Jeanna, Brianne, and I all wake boarded together, I had to use Sams wake board because mine was in another boat, it was so hard using that little thing.
Jeremy beat the crap out of us on that thing.

The kids doing a little bit of morning fishing.

The day we got there Jack had to use the bathroom before we could get the tent set up and had to go out in the open, he really did look so cute.
