Activity Day's/Cub Scout Day Camp
Well for being the middle of July, we couldn't have had a better day. It only got in the low 80's and cloud cover.
The boys getting ready to shoot it up!
Canoeing and cycling were on the docket too.
Kylie and Livvy waiting for the big day to start.
Ian fishing!
And canoeing!
You can't see it in this picture too well, but he hit the target several times, including once in the red zone! He was one of the youngest shooters, but he hit the target more than any of the other boys.
Goblins & Horses
We convinced Pauline's parents and family to join us this year at Goblin Valley and Little Wild Horse. We had an absolute blast!
This is the calm after the storm. When we first went into the valley it started raining, then it blew, than next thing you know there are kids freezing, rivers of mud everywhere, people scrambling to find any shelter.
We hoped that Pauline's mom wouldn't get claustrophobic while going through the narrow parts, fortunately it was so beautiful and unique, she didn't have any problems at all.
The kids crawled into a cave in Goblin Valley and found the route to heaven.
We named this elephant rock!
Ian just chillin' along the way.Saturday, April 25, 2009
Kylie's Baptism
We took several pictures as a family during the weekend that Kylie was baptized. The studio looking photo's were done at our neighbors home the morning before the baptism. The outdoor pictures were done that following Sunday.
My Beautiful Girls!
Oh my, are they looking at me?
Running in the sun.
Kylie is a natural model!
I'm free!
Wow!
Mom and her girl.
Daddy daughter
My favorite picture of Kylie!
Kylie's baptism was very special. She had a friend (Elizabeth) get baptized a few months prior, and when she bore her testimony the following Sunday she spoke of the spirit that she felt. Kylie listened very intently and about 3 weeks before her baptism started to include a heartfelt plea to feel the spirit when she was baptized too. As you can imagine the Lord didn't disappoint, you could see the spirit touching on her countenance that whole day.

Zoo Day March 14
Here's one monkey looking at another!
It was a cool morning, but the animals were all very active!
This Tiger was just pacing back and forth for several hours that morning. It was quite intimidating. He has only 8-10 feet away.
Ian sacrificed himself to save his little sister.
The elephants were enjoying the morning as it warmed up.
Daddy's Boy
The master of the road!
Ian has been watching youtube videos of mountain bike trials (This one specifically: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYIKfEU8yl8) and was asking me if I could teach him how to jump off a tree. "Well," I replied, "you need to learn to ride the bike first, then I'll teach you to jump".
In the past, he has been paranoid to have me let him go solo, so on March 7th I took off his pedals so it essentially a "kick bike". It was nice that the pedals didn't consistently hit him in the back of his legs when he put his feet down to stop. With in 30 minutes he was able to push his bike up the street, coast down the sidewalk and turn up our driveway. Because Saturday was a busy day I didn't have a chance to put his pedals back on.
Sunday morning Ian woke up and wanted to immediately ride his bike, but we told him after church he can go coast it around. Finally, after church he convinced me to put his pedals back on. I suggested that I push him up the street, so that he could get used to the idea of coasting with his feet on pedals, breaking, etc. He looked and me and said, "just push me". So I did. And off he rode.
This video is about 5 minutes after I put the pedals back on his bike. I think we went on 3 Sunday "walks" that day to keep him happy.
Monday morning, Ian jumped out of bed and was riding his bike as I drove off to work at 7 am. The Sun still hadn't poked its head above the mountains.
Oh ya, I almost forgot, I pulled out the board for a jump on Monday too! Now he is jumping about 3 feet!
