Family Pictures 2008

Cute picture even with Clovers special look...why can't she just look at the camera.

Shaylee 12 years...looking really cute. This is a GREAT picture of her.

Braden 10 years old...another great picture...very handsome with hint of shyness.

Zoie 9 years old. Very cute picture ESPECIALLY knowing that she was in a full fledged asthma attack early that day and vomited five times. She worked the camera and pulled off a nice picture.

Dalton 7 years old. Mr. No Problem Posiong for a Picture Guy. Handsome and confident.

Clover 2 1/2 years old...she LOVES this picture. Every day she shows me the picture and we have to reenact the shot...standing with hands on hips and little smile.

Sunny 8 months. Cute, chubby, and so sweet. Clover loves this picture too AND we have to act it out as well...subtle smile and hand in that position.

Halloween Party 2008

So we decided to have a kids Halloween Party this year and to say the least it turned out good and was a lot of fun.

We invited the kids from the neighborhood and from church and ended up with over twenty-five party kids here. We had a costume contest which Cinderella won, had a few relays, and played Zombie Tag (something like Marco-Polo). Once upon a time being "it" was not the thing you wanted and tried very hard avoiding getting caught so as not to be it. I guess as a child hits the ages of 8-11 you want to be it. I would put the blind fold on the kid...they would moan like a zombie the other children would moan like a zombie in return and pretty much jump into the zombies arms to get caught. This happened like six time in a row and was SO annoying, it pretty much kept ruining the came because the game would start and then end within fifteen seconds. When I encouraged them NOT to get caught that pushed the transition to thirty seconds.

The most popular event of the night was the strobe light dancing. All of the kid got SO sweaty and LOVED it!

After years and years of waiting, the time for a 1973 Bronco has arrived.

We are very happy to have this Bronco in our family.

Congrats Stevey!

Idaho Falls

The name Idaho Falls isn't just a coincidence. Look at how beautiful the falls are here right in the middle of historic down town. Here are a bunch of pictures in no particular order of the falls and the temple

Braden's Baptism

One night about three weeks ago Braden was saying his personal prayers before bed and just after the missionaries had left our home. Braden had not been interested in the gospel message that much little-lone baptism. He was taking the discussions to find out more about the church and that was about all.

After his prayer this night it looked like a light switch had been turned on in Braden and he was filled with energy and excitement. He ended his prayer and immediately turned to me and said that he wanted to be baptized to be forgiven of all his sins and to get the Holy Ghost as his constant companion....a part of the gospel message had suddenly "clicked" for him and he was ready to go.

Fast forward three weeks and here we are. Braden was baptized today September 13, 2008....HOORAY!





His Dad Wade and oldest brother Kyler came up from Utah to be a part of this wonderful day.


Looking good in WHITE!


Braden asked Grandpa Dalton to baptize him. Since Grandpa baptized his older sister Shaylee he thought it would be cool to have Grandpa do him too, and he was CORRECT!


CONFIRMATION TOMORROW!!!
