Andrew was baptized

Andrew was baptized.  It was a special event.  All of his grandparents came and his Uncle Brett, Aunt Liz and their kids came along with a lot of friends.  It was a special day.

What a handsome boy.

There were other photos, but I don't have them.  :)

Alexis started Kindergarten.  Don't know how she got so old.

Birthday Season again

It is the September Birthday season again. 

This year Karissa turned 11 and we had a spa party.  The girls had a lot of fun and my friend Jenny and I got to pretend to be 11 again.  Needless to say, there was a lot of giggling.

We even had a pretty cake.

A week later we had a Lego Party for Andrew's 8th Birthday

Random Moments from the Summer

Here are a few photos from the summer.

Spencer & his friend playing in the pool.  Notice how drenched they were.

We spent the first couple weeks of August in Utah & Idaho.
Here is a little video of Spencer trying to walk the dog.  You'll notice who is in charge.

I know this isn't one of my kids, but it is such a great shot of my niece I had to include it.  

Spencer taking a nap - doesn't he look comfy?

 The kids wanted to make "potions" from last year's Harry Potter Party.

The kids looking "Zany" for our new Eames' Family ABC Book.

For Pack Meeting they had a hot air balloon pilot come and talk to the kids about piloting a hot air balloon and let them each turn on the fire.  This is Karissa, I couldn't get Andrew's to turn out.  Funny part of the evening was when the police and firemen showed up.  Someone had seen the fire and thought the church was on fire.  It was a fun night.
