Our Soccer Boys

Nathan and Joshua are playing soccer with the local recreation league.  

It has turned out to be such a fun season for both of them!

Ogden Temple Open House

A really special day for our whole family to get to be in the temple together.  I hope it is a day our children will remember the peace and happiness they felt.  Aaron, especially, was uncharacteristically reverent.  :)

Adventures at the Castle Park

At the end of a crazy week, when I'm trying to remember why I love these kids...so grateful to spend a little carefree time having fun together. 

One of our kids' favorite songs right now says, "God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be--This is how He shares His love, for the family is of God."

So grateful to be reminded...in the ups and downs of parenthood...that it is through these relationships God is shaping us to be the people he wants us to be.

Joshua's Baptism

Joshua was baptized Saturday, July 5th at 11 a.m.

We were so glad to have this special day finally come...and to be surrounded by so much family support!

Summer Bucket List ... Slip 'n Slide!

Summer Snapshot: Cousins

More to come from this great visit from our Colorado cousins.  

But, for now I just think this is priceless!

Family Photos by Carol

When Carol and her kids visited a couple weeks ago she offered to take some pictures of our family.  

We just threw the outfits together at the last minute and dashed out the door...but I think they turned out to be some real treasures!

Summer Snapshot: 7 Peaks

Our family's first time at 7 Peaks Waterpark!

Had a blast...and only had to recover for two weeks after due to sunburns.  :)

Summer Snapshots: Horses

Love going on walks down the gravel road near our house to see the horses.

Hill Air Force Base Air Show

Just heard about the Air Show this morning...and it's just the kind of thing we've always wanted to go to!  So, we did the spontaneous thing and went!  So many things to see both on the ground and in the air!  

Can't wait to go again next year!
