Ward Party: Shin Dig

Max and Me on Major- (Quinn's horse). It was awesome. Bro. Woolsley told me to get on but I didn't think he was serious because the rides were only for the kids. He told me to jump the fence and get on! Yahoo! I've been on a horse before but the horse knew the trail and I didn't have to steer. This time I did all the work. Then he said to put Max on with me. We had a fun time.

Conner Wakeboarding

Conner got up on the wakeboard on his first try for the first time ever. He was able to go down half the lake. He loved it so much. Daddy is not too happy with Conner's new love of wake boarding. He wants him to ski as much as he does!!

A Lilly Funny

Lilly asked me to get her some yogurt from the fridge. It was plain flavor; a flavor she's never had before. I was pretty sure she wouldn't like it but I let her have a bowl. When she put the first bite in her mouth, her face didn't have much expression but then she said, "Hair tastes better than this stuff"

Conner's Baptism

Conner was baptized August 8th by his dad in the Draper Utah Mountain Point Stake. People in attendance: grandparents, kevin, nicole, beth, carrie, vanya, kate, anne, kathleen, and Liane. We invited our neighbors, the Palayos, who are non-members. They asked me to give a talk on the Holy Ghost. I made it pretty simple and focused on how to identify the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. Just as I was closing my talk. I looked down toward Conner and he was wiping tears from his eyes. I couldn't believe it. He felt the spirit and it touched him. I didn't cry until then. Good thing it was at the end of the talk.

Max was very wild during the meeting. I took him out in the hall while the other kids were being baptized. I didn't notice that they called Conners name to go to the font. Everyone gathered at the font- but not me, Max and Lilly. My neighbor Cheri noticed that I wasn't there and stopped the ordinance from taking place so someone could come get us. That would have been TERRIBLE if i missed conners baptism.

After the baptism we made the move to CHUCK-A -RAMA. One of Conner's favorite places to eat. It was perfect. Since the day before the baptism was busy (Lagoon), and there aren't very many people in our family- going out to eat was perfect.
