Gavin's Baby Blessing

We finally got the chance to bless our little Gavin. What a great day it was! We blessed him on Sunday; 10-10-10. He was blessed by Nils and Nils did a very nice job and I really enjoyed it. In the circle we had Nils, Kevin, Uncle Cleve, Ed, Pat, and Diego. I had a hard time not having my Uncle Twayne there with us as he is usually to everything for us kids, but I did feel him there in spirit and I know with all my heart he was right in that prayer circle with his hands on Gavin! He wouldn't have missed it and I know it. My Aunt did come down though and she brought my cousin Taylor with her. It was great they still made the trip and I know it was rough on my Aunt too. We then had some of Nils' family there and some great friends came and supported us. My Aunt and Uncle from Soda also came over as well. We then had a luncheon up at the Fire station and leave it to me I forgot the camera so I have no pictures of the people who came. Overall, a stressful day and yet it turned out so good and we felt the spirit through little Gavin as he was blessed! We love him to death and am so glad his dad was able to bless him and give him his name. Thanks to all of you who came and supported us as it meant a lot and we missed those of you who couldn't make it. Here are the pictures I had time to get before we ran out the door to church. Imagine that....me running late. Never. LOL :)

Misty's Senior Pictures

So Misty decided she liked the kid's pictures that I took so she wanted me to snap some for her Senior pictures. She had to get one turned into the Yearbook and the deadline didn't allow her time by then to get someone to do them. So, off we went to my dad's old sheds and what not and did a few pics. You can totally tell they were not done by a professional, but hey...they worked. She liked them and who knows which ones she'll actually use. Here is a sneak peak of some we took. We snapped a lot, but I really did have fun doing them. I just can't believe she is going to be graduating! YIKES....watch out world. LOL

Ryder's 5th Birthday!

Our little Ryder turned 5 on September 19th. I couldn't believe it. He is just getting to old and growing WAY too fast for me. :) I finally have some time to post pictures from his party we did for him. He had a dinner over here with just the grandparents and Misty and then he wanted his Aunt Piper with cake and icecream. He then really did want a friend party so the next weekend we let him invite three friends. We went bowling and then we took them to eat at Pizza Villa. He had a blast and so much fun with all his friends. They did so good too and all got along so well. It was a lot of work with four boys and Brooklyn, but was indeed fun. Here are the pictures from his birthday.
