Leaping Lizards

Matthew found this little collared lizard while visiting Uncle Mikey.

He of course had to bring it home.

The kids were all fascinated with it.

Especially when it pulled this little trick...

They were very concerned that it had been hurt until I explained how they are able to drop their tails off in an effort to escape it's prey. He was then let lose to go on his way.

When Dad's Do Hair

When Dad's do hair there are no garranties on how it will turn out...

...Even then I am sure you don't quite expect this.

Neither did she.

Happy Birthday Matthew! / Baptism

Matthew had help celebrating his birthday this year as some of his cousins came to town for his baptism. It was so good to see everyone that came. We appreciate the effort it took to get here.

Matthew was baptized uncle Tim and Grandpa as witnesses.

Then he was confirmed by his Dad and Bishop Rock, Bother Harold Davis, Uncle Sean, Grandpa and Pop pop stood in the circle.

We are so proud of him and his decision to be baptized. He is such a great kid. He has such strength and such and attitude of "I can do it". We know he will continue to be a good example to his brothers.

Had to get a picture of the cousins.

Party! Party!

This weekend we had two Friend Birthday celebrations. We planned them both at the same place and time in different parts of the building.  Matthew had his party in the Climbing Gym.

Nic had his in the Fun Factory. Between Sherman and I guess which room I got.

  Yep, Nic's. While he lounged out on the nice sofa in the quiet climbing room, I sat on a hard chair watching the kids run and scream all over the factory room. All of the kids had a blast!

Annalyn and Ava taking care of what was left of the cake.

Just help yourselves Girls.

Arrow of Light and Crossing Over

At the Blue and Gold banquet last night Shermie received his Arrow of Light and Crossed over to Boy Scouts.

It's hard not to get chocked up when I think of what a great kid he is. He is definitely someone to look up to.
