Logan is 15!!!!!!!!!!

What do you make for someone who doesn't like cake?
A rice crispy cake- it is suppossed to be a baseball
with grass all around. It was fitting seeing that he
played his all-star games on his birthday.


I can't believe my son is 15 years old! How time does fly. I still remember vividly when he was born, OUCH! He has been a great blessing to our family. Logan has a very sweet spirit (although sometimes he chooses not to show it :) Logan is a huge help with Jaidyn, I never knew number 4 would be so easy with all the help I receive from the other children. We are so grateful to have Logan in our family. Thanks for choosing us to be your parents, we love you & Happy Birthday! Now on to Drivers-Ed

Great Helper at the Game!










Logan played in the Babe Ruth All Star baseball games. His team did really well. They came in 2nd place in the region. It was a very busy weekend, as he had games at least twice a day until the tournament was over. It was pretty hot, and Meghan was such a great help. She would tote Jaidyn on her hip and take her to the park to play. When Jaidyn would tire of the park Meghan would put her in her stroller and take her for a walk. Jaidyn had so much fun playing with her sister. I am so thankful Meghan is such a big help with her sister and enjoys playing with her.

While we were staying in Utah we got to see quite a lot of TJ, Sunny & Kalin. We met on Sunday afternoon at the park across the street from the Provo temple. Laton had wanted to walk around the temple grounds. Heather and some of her family that I haven't seen in years met us also. We got to see Marne, Dawn and her family & Jonell and Arlo. We had a great afternoon relaxing in the shade and eating yummy food. You can never go wrong with great company and good food!

Sew Crazy!

This is a picture of the wallet Heather made me.




I spent a week with Heather in Utah! We stayed up until the wee hours of the night sewing and doing crafty, fun things. We made each of our girls a dress. They turned out adorable!!! Heather also made me a wallet, which is to die for. We made resin tile pendants, cute hair flowers for our girls, dresses and bibs. We are going to start our own business soon! We realized that we really should live closer to one another. I moved four hours closer with this last move, ...... now I guess it is her turn to move closer :) We can't wait to see them again soon.

Nancy, Jill and I decided to take their trailers and go camping. HMMM.... 3 ladies, 14 children and no Prozac???? Yea, crazy idea! And if I remember correctly it was mine :) We did have a blast to say the least. From backing up a 30' trailer, playing survivor man, building forts, starting forest fires, licking banana slugs, lots of bumps and scrapes, riding crazy rides, playing late night games, playing pranks, baiting skunks and raccoons to the boys tent, eating smores, swimming and having lots of great company- we did have a blast.

Jaidyn- 10 months old!



















I finally had Jaidyns' pictures taken! So sad it took me 10 months. We have a wonderful photographer in our ward in Dayton. She was so fun to do pictures with. We are going to have family pictures done in August. I can't wait.

Eagle Court of Honor

Thanking Ed for being a great leader.

My great friend Lisa made this cake for the boys. She is amazing.

These are shadow boxes that Ken Jensen made for the boys.

Logan earned his Eagle Scout Award back in Oct. of last year. We were in the middle of moving and trying to get settled, so we didn't have time to do his Court of Honor. This weekend we went to California and had his Ceremony. We held the Court of Honor with 2 other Eagle Scouts from our previous Troop, Lance Selee and Tyler Johns. It was a very nice ceremony and we had a great turn out! Thank you to all who came and we missed those of you who couldn't make it! We are very proud of Logan and his accomplishment! Now we are working on Laton :)
