It's Great to be 8

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.

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

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

4th of July

We celebrated the 4th of July at my Anty Lota's house up in Mauka. We had fun eating, talking, playing games, and popping fire works. We also started our "Biggest Loser" challenge. Here is a pic of my first weigh in. We were allowed to pig out and then weigh ourselves again. So my final weight is 160 lbs. OMG!!

Who has Noah?

Daddy

Papa

Grandma

Uncle Aaron

Anty Marge

The problem here is that they are both male.
