Zoey, Cake, Beach & more

A huge smile to start off her birthday.

Aside from her many gifts, this one out did them all.

Meet the newest member of the family.....Zoey. She's a chi/ter mix and is absolutely adorable.

Zoey is mainly for Elijah, we just happened to get her on Sariah's b'day.

How about some cake to start off a picnic at the beach.

Sand Angle?

Elijah catching some waves with his Uncle Aaron.

Sariah and Dad

Uncle Aaron, I hope he rubbed sun block on his head.

Noah was a little sick so he enjoyed being held all day.

What's a picnic without some watermelon?

Birthday Wishes

So what do you want to do for your birthday Elijah?

I wanna go to the beach.

Can I have McDonald's for lunch?

Sure, whatever you want, it's your day.

I wanna make cookies.

What's the best part of making cookies? Eating cookie dough.

We need some more chocolate.

Happy Birthday to you......

You can pick whatever you want at the new Lego Store.

Ok, This is what I want.

Dinner at Ruby Tuesdays.

Baptism

Today, August 1st, Elijah entered into the Holy Waters of baptism and made a covenant with his Heavenly Father. I am so blessed to have him as a son. He is such a good example to us and I am pleased with the choices he's made. He has such a sweet spirit. Elijah thinks the coolest part is joining cub scouts, but he's also looking forward to serving a mission someday.

Happy 8th Birthday Elijah!!



I had to split up the slide shows and they are posted backwards.
I don't know about you, but Noah looks like Elijah's twin, just born years apart.

My Hot Dog Has A First Name, It's O.S.C.A.R.......

This is our new Family Car

We were nice enough to let the neighborhood folks check it out,

we even got a sponsor,

you'll never guess who.

We spent so much on the new car that the kids offered to sacrifice new clothes for a while.

(I hope they don' t get any stains on them)

It's weird..........I mean I see them blowing the whistles but I don't hear anything
(Maybe I just need to turn up the volume)

Ward Camp '09

I am happy to say that we are no longer Ward Camp virgins. We finally made it out to our first ward camp and we had so much fun. I can't believe we didn't go all of those other years, now I know what we were missing. It is like our own little Zion. It was nice to get away from all of the chaos of the world and just enjoy each other and our ward family. It was a lot of hard work though, poor Jason was in the kitchen most of the time. I tried to help, but he refused. I'm looking forward to next year.

The moon was beautiful the night we went crabbing

I can't believe how dark Elijah got from the beach.

Jason loves to take pics of fire. So this is for him.
