24th of July

Tylie danced in the 24th of July parade in Cedar. It was her first performance. She had fun but was really hot! Jessie called and asked us to go fishing at Kid's Pond with them so we made some tinfoil dinners and went fishing!

Tylie's Baptism on the 4th of July

Tylie was baptized on the 4th of July. It was a really busy day! We woke up to the cannon going off at 7:00 and headed to the parade. Following the parade the YW and I participated in the program. We did a fun skit that had everyone laughing. We then went up to the Cobble Crest where the we (the YW leaders) were in charge of cooking lunch for everyone. It was busy but turned out great! We skipped the games and water fight at the park to get ready for Tylie's baptism. Tylie was thrilled to have her dad baptise and confirm her. Tyler was really nervous but did a wonderful job! I was so proud of both of them. We then went and got pizza for everyone and went back to the Cobble Crest for "family night." The town has a DJ come so everyone can dance and/or sit on the lawn and listen to music. They also have a bunch of inflatable slides, jump houses, etc. for the kids (and kids at heart) to enjoy. It turned out to be a really fun and exciting day!

Kanarra Girls Camp 2009

We had another successfull girls camp. We had a couple of accidents but in all we had a great time. This calling keeps me young and I really love the girls and the leaders I get to serve with. These girls all get along very well and we didn't have even one disagreement throughout the four days. I love living in a little town where everyone is so close! It's like one big family:)

Tylie's Birthday

I can't believe Tylie is already eight! Where did the time go? I still remember bringing her home from the hospital. She is a wonderful daughter and I love her very much!

We love Tami's kids just like our own. These pics are so cute and show off Kylee's personality!

Tylie & Trent are 8!

We had a combined birthday party for Trent and Tylie at our house. It sure is fun having them 5 days apart! They had a lot of fun opening presents. Tylie was a little bummed that we made her wait to open some of her presents but I knew she would be sad if she didn't have anything to open on her birthday.

Let's Get Out of Here!

We were getting sick of the stresses of life and decided to take a last minute camping trip to New Castle Resevoir. It rained on us the first night but the next day turned out beautiful. Vance & his boys and Mike & Bradlee joined us. Mike brought his boat so we all piled in and fished all day. It was so much fun!
