Congratulations Isaac!!!

It was a great and busy weekend. We had the baptism of
Isaac, our 6th child. He was so genuinely excited and had
a big smile on his face ALL weekend.
My mom was here as well as Rhett's parents. It was great
to have family around. That is one of the few things we miss
about Arizona, family (and friends).
Here is our newest member of the Church.

THAT is the smile he had all

weekend.

Joe cool! Oh wait, Isaac, cool.

Doesn't quite flow as well.

Let me tell you though, one day, he

will be a ladies man!

LOVE this pic! My favorite.

Do they look alike or what?

This is Isaac with his primary teacher and all

who are in his class.

This is all the family and friends we had attend

his baptism.

Thanks for coming.

This is Isaac, hear his ROAR!

This is the fun cake I made for Isaac's birthday.

Ethan-isms

It has been a LONG time since I have been on here.
LOTS has been going on!!!! Any one relate?

Any way, here are some cute and laughable
sayings from Ethan:

Ethan has started kindergarten; so now he thinks
he is so grown up. He always comes out of class
with HIS grin. (You have to know him to understand
"his" grin. Funny and cute all in one.) He shrugs his
shoulders and says "it was okay" or "it was cool". Never
know what to think.

Back to Ethan-isms...
The other day I had to run errands after I picked up
Ethan from school. He must have saved ALLLLLL
his energy and let it loose on our errands. I was getting
so frustrated with him, I looked at him and said "Ethan,
you are being absolutely obnoxious!" He just looks at me,
shrugs his shoulders and says "okay, so I'm obnoxious."
Then skips on. Yes, I had to stop and laugh. It was said
so genuinely.

Here is another one:
This past fast Sunday Ethan came up to Rhett and asked
if he could fast also. Rhett explained that when you fast you
don't eat or drink and he would miss breakfast if he decided
to fast. After quick thinking he said he didn't want to fast
anymore. Well the next thing we know he has decided to fast,
had Sarah help him start it with a prayer, missed breakfast,
and off to church we go. After Sacrament (which is last) we
have this couple that always has candy for the kids. When
Ethan got his, he put it in his pocket and waited till he got home
and closed his fast. When we asked him how his day of fasting
was he replied "not too bad, I wasn't really hungry".
Our little 5 year old is an example to us all!

I will have more Ethan-isms I'm sure. He is such a funny kid
and keeps us laughing.

Adventures at Webelos Wilderness Camp

Here are a bunch of pics of Dallin & Jensen at Webelos Camp
this week. I was there too as their leader. As a leader it was
quite boring. For the boys though, look at the pics and you decide.
There are still a few pics missing of when they got to do boating
(row boats). That is the only activity I got to participate in.


Starting off learning about Forestry

Our nature walk, part of Forestry.

Explaining the good and bad of the plants, trees

in this area.

BB gun time! Dallin trying to cock his gun.

Ready, aim, FIRE!

Jensen Cocking his gun.

Can you tell my boys are not used to this kind of

stuff?

Go Jensen Go!

Archery

Jensen

Jensen was able to get 2 holes in his target.

Way to go!

Dallin trying to learn the logistics

I think he got it.

Watch out Robinhood, here comes Dallin!

Obstacle course fun

Woo hoo!

The boys (4 of them) challenged us leaders (2)

to a tug of war game. I am the back one.

The boys pulled and pulled and tried hard, but

us 2 leaders were not match for them.

Honestly, we didn't even struggle. :)

At the opening ceremonies they had some boys

come up and participate with them. Jensen is

in the back on the right.

The leader of this activity is in the Army and he

really made these boys do some hard stuff.

Dallin is in the back, almost mid center.

Learning CPR, "Is he breathing?"

"1,2,3,4...."

Dallin trying to do the heimlich. Not so easy is it?

Learning pool safety

Finally, we get to jump in.

Learning different ways to help rescue

Dallin throwing the life ring

Pulling them in to safety

Jensen's turn

He saved his guy

Paddle boards

The teachers challenged the boys to see if the could

get them under water. ALL the boys tried.

They were not successful. She was one strong gal.

***********************************************

It was great, the boys were able to finish and pass off

4 of their requirements. As a leader that is a huge relief!
