Connor's Baptism

We had such a beautiful day for Connor's baptism. He had his great grandpa Westover, Jean, both sets of granparents, 2 uncles, sisters, mom and dad, and countless friends there to support him on this special day.  I'm so thankful that he made the decision to follow the example of Jesus and be baptized. 
He got to share his special day with his best friend Henry Beardsley also getting baptized that day. Autumn and I gave little talks on baptism and the Holy Ghost, then we headed into where the font is to watch the boys get baptized by their dads. Then they headed into the primary room for confirmation. Sadie and Laine "sang" (stood in front and stared at the group while Anette played the piano.) :) . 
After the boys were official, we headed out to the pavillion for a luncheon.  It was nice visit with so many people that we love.  Heidi generously took photos of family for us. She is so great at gathering people and capturing wonderful pictures. We will treasure these and this day forever!

Remlinger Farms

Heidi and I went on another big outing with the kids at the end of August. We had to squeeze in all the fun we could before the end of summer! What a fun day it was! We started out with Connor puking in the van from playing video games in the car...and ended with getting SUPER lost on the way home, but in between, our day was great.  The farm was such a cute place with rides, animals, and things for the kids to see and do. Sadie and Connor said it was one of the best days of the whole summer!

I'm one lucky momma!


Do kids get any happier than this??

Portland Adventure with Friends

Before the summer was over, Heidi and I wanted to take our kids to the Portland zoo, so at the end of August we headed out-two blonde moms with 6 kids and had quite an adventure!


After carrying the double bob stroller of some really steep stairs we finally made it up to the zoo train.


Eliza hated the train and closed her eyes to avoid the whole situation.


The whole group!

Cute girls!


Eliza obviously enjoyed her chocolate ice cream!


Big Kids!
Connor's favorite--cheetah!!

The next day, the kids and  I enjoyed a day at Wilson pool. We love the diving board, slide, lazy river, and warm water!
