The Celtic Festival

Last weekend we went to the Celtic Festival. I was definitely Fall weather. BRRRRRR But it was a lot of fun. My Uncle Mark's group was there, but unfortunately he was not able to make it up. :( Oh well, we'll see him in a couple of weeks. :)

Street Vibrations

Off to Street Vibrations...

Last weekend it was Street Vibrations here in Reno so we went to a couple of places to see the bikes. The kids picked out their favorites. :) When we were done downtown, we went down to the River to play.





Jon and Christine joined us with their darling boys.



Off to the river we went. (There's only so much bikes we could see. LOL)



They found a big Crawdad.



And Jared fell in...


They made a friend.

The boys sitting on Jon and Christine's stoop. They were SO cute together!

Jared's big night

Jared is now a cub scout! He has waited for three years watching his big brother finish cub scouts and become a boy scout and now it's finally his turn! He quickly got his "Bobcat" over the summer and is making his way through "Wolf". He has waited anxiously all summer for his first pack meeting. What a great time it was!

The six of us...

I get to babysit the girls from time to time. (Jessica's little girls) This night I got home from work and Jessica's babysitter fell ill, so I kept the girls while she went to work. After some errands and lots of etc. it was sandwiches on the menu. :) Emily I think got more on the floor than in her mouth. LOL

The first tooth!

Well, after weeks of wiggling and waiting she finally let me pull it out! :) The one next to it is also wiggly, but it is still in there. LOL This one was lost two days after her 6th birthday.

Cai Lynn's Birthday at Noni's house

I just can't believe she is really six! As I've said before, "Where does the time go?" So much has happened in these past six years and we have all learned and lived a lot. Now in the first grade, Cai Lynn is such a sweet little girl and such a great little student! Her teacher is constantly raving about how pleasant she is (not always the way at home ;) ) and what a great little student she is.

Cai Lynn loves to be a girly girl but in the next moment she is desperately trying to catch up to her big brothers!

We love you Cai Lynn!

Jared gets scriptures...

As tradition, when they get baptized the kids get their own scriptures. Well, as many of you know Bryan passed away the day Jared was to be baptized. I didn't want him to have to wait another two months to get his very own scriptures so Sunday before church he was finally able to open them. He was SO excited... Hopefully he will learn to love them even more.








Now they both have their own set!
