My Big 40th

I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband that loves to do nice things for me and suprise me. I had a wonderful birthday. We woke up that morning and got the kids ready for school. When the kids were ready to leave, Chad told me that I needed to be ready for the day as well. He told me to put on some good walking shoes. I didn't know what were doing. But, I put on my good walking shoes and off we went. We drove to the airport and we flew to San Diego with no clothes on our back. We spent the day shopping and enjoying the sights and the smell of the ocean. We took a little bay cruise and then went back to the airport and flew home. We were home by 10:00 PM. We had a wonderful day. I was dreading turning 40, but Chad was able to make it special for me.

Boating, boating and more boating

Our summer's are filled with boating. Our family has grown to love it. We have made so many special memories together while boating. Each of the boys can wakeboard and each of them has even solomn skiied this last year. Kyle drives the boat a lot for Chad so that he can ski as well. I love soakin up the sun and watching my boys find confidence through boating. I love watching them encourage each other and develop a stronger friendship with each other.

Spencer's Baptism

Spencer was babtized August 4,2013. It was a very special day. It was a stake baptism, but there were only two kids from our stake being baptized. It seemed very personable and nice. We had so many of our friends and family support us. Unfortunately, these are the only pictures that were taken. We felt really bad about Kyle not being at the baptism. He was on a Varsity Scout hike and we really felt like he needed to do that with the kids from our ward. Spencer was very excited and it was a great day!
