Our Special Weekend

We had a very special weekend. Peyton's baptism was on Saturday, and D.J.'s blessing was on Sunday. It was so nice to have our families here for these two special occasions. We missed all of you that could not make it.


Wow Jordyn DJ is almost as big as you are.
My beautiful sister Heidi. I just love this picture.

Jack calls Aunt Scout Aunt Snout. It is so funny!!
D.J. lookin handsome in the sumo suit. That is what we call this blessing suit. Don't feel too bad D.J., Jack had to wear the sumo suit for his blessing as well.

Peyton on his baptism day. We are so proud of him.

Grandma Suzie skiing!!

Chris took Tanner, Scout, Grandma Suzie, and Terry boating on Saturday morning. They tried their hardest to throw Scout off the tube, but she stayed on....mean brothers!!

Lake Powell with Uncle Chris

We made our first trip to Lake Powell over Labor day weekend. It was so beautiful and we had so much fun. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we were able to make the most of it and do a little touring and boating. Thanks Uncle Chris for a great weekend!!!

The boys decided to race into the water. I love these pictures!!

This is the view from off of the Glen Canyon Dam.

Here we are in front of the dam.

Uncle Chris lookin studly by his boat. If you want a date call (435) 668......hee hee just kidding Chris I won't post your phone number...well unless you want me to.

Here is Ryan wakeboarding. The boys tried to their hardest to land a 360, but they still haven't got it quite yet. I was finally able to make it in and out of the wake, after many wipeouts!!

Cry Baby

I just had to put these pictures on here. D.J. rarely cries or fusses, but at Peyton's birthday party he had a little tummy ache and cried. I think these pictures are so cute...even though they were not so cute at the time. Poor little guy!

Happy Birthday Peyton!!

I cannot believe that he is 8!! We held his party at Uncle Chris's pool and than we went back to our house for a late night. Peyton invited three of his best buddies; Maysen, Ben, and Cole. His favorite present was the Nintendo Wii he got from his Uncle Chris, Grandma Suzie, and Uncle Eli. He was so excited when he opened it. We are so proud of Peyton. He is such a good kid.

I better explain myself...

So I thought I had better explain the reason why I have the "Edward" thing on the side of my blog. It is more of a joke than anything. Although, I do have to say that I am ADDICTED to those books. I haven't stayed up until 2:00 in the morning finishing a book since before Peyton was born. If you haven't read any of the Twilight series yet I highly recommend it. Anyway....here is the story behind the "my neck belongs to Edward" thing. So my mom got me hooked on these darn books. She read the first book before I did and could not put them down. My dad kept bugging her and making fun of her for getting so obsessed with a book about vampires. I think he was secretly jealous that she was spending so much time reading on not giving enough attention to him...funny guy. Well, when I got home I told Ryan all about how funny it was that my mom was in love with these books and the vampire character. It was funny until I started to get obsessed with them as well. Ryan was going crazy with all of my book reading. Any spare minute I had (which wasn't many) I had my nose in it. So one day Ryan was listening to the radio and a man called in complaining about his girl friend being so obsessed about this fictional character that it was affecting their relationship. The poor guy was going on and on about he couldn't compete with the vampire. Ryan knew then that this was the same book I had been reading. He has been bugging me about this ever since. I am not obsessed, but it has been a while since I have not been able to put a book down like this. Good thing I am on the fourth book. So to make Ryan worry even more I thought it would be funny to put the little saying on the side of my blog. I thought it was funny.

School Days!!

Peyton had his 1st day of 3rd Grade today. He is such a good student, and he seems to have a great teacher and class this year. We are so proud of him. Jack thought it was his 1st day of school as well. I had to drag him out of Peyton's class in tears because he wanted to stay. He wants to be big like his brother. We are going to have to figure out something for him to do during the day so he doesn't get bored.
