A Baptism and a Blessing

We made it to Mandy’s house this weekend. It was fun to see the house they are renting. It’s really nice. She has lots of space there. She was so nice to let us use her kids room’s and beds for us to sleep in. I felt sorta spoiled. That was so nice of their family.

The girls have grown up so much. Kali loves her little brother and is such a cute little helper. She was right there many times to help her momma with baby Isaac. It was so cute.


Lily has grown up so much too. She’s a fun loving girl. She has a special little spirit about her.



We got to see and hold little Isaac. Oh, he is such a cutie. Love him so much. He’s so little and just perfect.


Josh LOVE’s him!!  Almost at any moment you could find Josh by him or holding him. I think he’s going to make such a sweet dad one day. He was so cute with him.


We got there on Friday night. Jeff’s parents were there too. We had super yummy fish for dinner. I mention it just because I don’t want to forget and I have to try it. She sprinkled it with Blackened Redfish Magic by Chef Paul then she wrapped it in tin foil and cooked it on the barbecue.  It turned out so good, gonna have to do that.

Then the next morning we all got ready and were able to participate and be a part of 
Jacob’s baptism day. 


I felt grateful to be there and see him. I could really feel the spirit so strongly 
as his dad said a special prayer and baptized him. 


Jacob is growing up so much. I can feel him wanting to do what’s right. My boys love him so much. They were so excited to be part of his special day. We all were.








We also got to be part of Isaac’s blessing day. Two birds with one stone so to say. It was neat to be able to be there. It was a special day and I’m glad they live closer so we could be there.

Zac was excited too, he was just totally into his book.

The girls looked so pretty today and got ready so quickly. 
They were excited to be part of their brother’s special day.

So sweet.

Grandma and Grandpa showing the kids the special blessing blanket. Everyone’s name is embroidered around the outside edge. This blanket made each one of them feel pretty special.

The girls played the piano a couple times today. 

Josh finally got to hold Isaac. He was so sweet with him.

Timpanogos Cave

So I found out that Jeff has never been to Timpanogos Cave.  Can you believe that? I couldn't believe it either. That needed to change, so a trip was planned and off we went.

Here's a few things that haven't changed: it was still as steep as I remember it, the cave was as pretty as I remember it, the cave was as cold as I remember it too.  Some things that did seem to change: the climb didn't seem as long as I remembered it, the tour was shorter than I remembered it, and we weren't told the stories that I remember. I think that we all thought it was well worth it.

Peek-a-Boo Stop :)

Extra Climb for a Good Picture :)

We made it 1/2 way!!

Waiting for the tour :)

Excited to go in

Wahoo!! ~ Tour Time!!

I wonder if my BIG head will fit through this tight spot?  :)

Parade Day & Carnival Rides

Today's activities started with the Parade. I took Hayden and Josh and didn't even check with Zac. He had been out late to a party and so I didn't want to wake him. I should have though. He wanted to come with us.  He walked over by himself. I was so glad he did!!

Lynda's Dog Italy. She is such a beautiful and good dog! The boys loved playing with her.

Lynda invited us over to her house for a great view of the parade. Here we are ready for a great time.


Here I am ready for the parade

Josh and Hayden are ready for it to start.

We are all ready for the parade. . . isn't it after 9:00am? :D Stacie, Me & Lynda

Fire Engines are Loud!!

Joe's company did some amazing tricks - WOW!  They are awesome.





Then we went back for all the carnival "rides." The kids didn't really go on the rides though they spent most of their time on the bouncy things.
