The first week of Summer

Kaylie got baptised a member of the church. It was such a special time for me to see our third baptism. I felt the spirit so strong when Jacob layed Kaylie into the water. She is such a special daughter of our Heavenly Father and she has so much to offer all who are in her life. We are so proud of you Kaylie and you are such an example to us.

Here we are at Disneyland. We went for Kaylie's birthday this year. Grandma went for her birthday the next day and we stayed for two days so we enjoyed the park together.

The big hit of California Adventures is always Soaring over California for us.


Paige got to meet the princesses for the first time this year. She visited them when she was one but she didn't know what was going on. This year she was the only one of the girls that wanted to stand in line to see them. She was horrible in line and almost gave up but all smiles meeting the princesses.

This year at Small World we saw all the princesses and disney characters they added here is Jasmine and Aladin on the flying carpet. Seeing Paige's face was the most entertaining part. I love seeing new things with my kids it takes you back to being a kid yourself.



Jacob did another triathlon this year. He improved his time to 92 minutes this time. We were all busy sleeping when he left so we couldn't cheer him on this year. He loves doing these races it keeps him in shape and he loves the competition.

The fruits and vegetables of our labors are coming like crazy. The cucumber Paige is holding is the only one for this year. The strawberries were not going crazy either but I think they were getting eaten so fast that we never got them into the house. The raspberries, blackberries and blueberries are the same way. We have an overabundance of tomatoes though. I even canned a ton and didn't even dent it.
Kaylie is 8! For her birthday this year she wanted a Luau. All the girls got to get dressed up, limbo and learn a hula dance. They all did very well and loved performing for all the parents. Kaylie is growing up to be such an awesome young girl. We are so proud of her and love her so much.

We stayed in Vegas for a night and played at the Mandalay Bay pool all day. The kids were not ready to leave the pool after being there from 9am to 6pm. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe that night and they were falling asleep at their plates.
