Summer Fun

Happy Birthday Lyrik!! The Big 8

We can't believe that we have a 8 year old. This has made our summer so special. Lyrik turned 8 on June 14, and was baptized on July 5. What an amazing day. The spirit was so strong on that special day. She looked beautiful!! She sang "I like to look for rainbows," with the other little girl in our ward that was also getting baptized. It was a very bonding experience for her and Justin and we were so proud of her and that decision that she has made. She still talkes about what a great day that was. What a perfect example she is to her younger brother and sister!!

Our "Little Slugger

I have been so horriable this summer keeping up on our blog. Here was our summer in a crash course.

Crew played baseball this summer and absolutely loved it. His team was the Colorado Rockies. He is so fun to watch because he is very agressive and takes the game very serious. He would be so excited even to get in his uniform every game day. He was so cute. This was very fun for all of us to watch him, but especially for his Dad!!!

Memorial Day

A tribute to my Mom on Memorial Day!! Here we are visiting her grave site. So good to be there with people I love and that miss her everyday also...

Cinder"BELLA"

Ari was so excited to have Cinderella come to her Birthday party. A special thanks to my cousin Brittany for being Cinderella. Ari never suspected that this was not the real Cinderella. She loved being in matching dresses...


Thank you so much Britt for making Ari's day so special.

Happy Birthday Ari..

We can't believe Ari is 3!! She is the sweetest little girl and is such a blessing in our lives!

We rode the Front Runner down to the Gateway ...
Went to build a bear workshop and she is bathing her new pink kitty.
She asked for "training wheels" for her birthday. She loves her new bike. We love you Ari!!!

Camping...

We went camping in Moab the first weekend in May with some friends. We had a great time.
It was fun to see the kids having a blast in the sand and loving sleeping in a tent.
Lyrik was in heaven catching lizards on the rocks by our campground. We ended up with 2 lizards as pets. Down to just 1 now and hoping to be able to hold on to this one a little longer.
