Bryce and David finally turned 8 and were able to be baptized. It was a great day. 2/28/09
We were excited to finally have it be today!
Dad baptized us. We had a great time with so many people there to support us. We put a couple trash bags over Bryce's cast used duct tape to secure it, and went ahead with the ceremony. It was truly a great day!
Yes, only Bryce could break his arm only a week and a half before his and David's baptism! I told him that until he played for the NBA and was collecting a check the size that they were, he better not be trying to hang from the rim of the basketball hoop. Especially because then he could pay his own medical bills! Thanks to all our Doctor friends who helped us to keep the cost down!I just know that she could make me rich by winning "So You Think You Can Dance"! All the music is coming from my ringtones on my cell phones... Maybe one of them is what I use to know that it's YOU calling... :)
We ordered a few too many pizzas, but the boys definitely got all they could eat and more!
It was a little hard to light the candles because of how much wind there was, but we managed and the kids just loved the cupcakes.
We had a water balloon toss. We figured after how wet everyone was, it really didn't matter if the balloon got a little water on them!
Yes, see that puddle? That was how much it rained just in the course of the party. The boys didn't care, though. In fact, it added to the fun of the party.
Yes, it was crazy with this many boys running around, but so worth it. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the smile on these boys faces is worth everything in the world. Happy 8th birthday Bryce! 1/23/09
Santa came right to our door and took us for a ride! 
The louder we sing, the faster we go... of course, I think this goes a little slower than the sleigh...
And finally we get to sit on his lap and tell him our Christmas wishes!
Oh... The anticipation...
Can you believe that mom would put trick candles on my cake??? Don't worry. I blew enough spit on them to put them out. I can't believe some people didn't want any cake...
Happy over the smallest of things.
Isaac is the flying dragon. The costume didn't last long. What do you expect in 90 degree weather... at the end of October???
Cassie as my little bumblebee. She couldn't help following the big bright gold round balls that were on her head...
Seth as Anakin Skywalker.
Bryce as OB-1
David as Darth Vadar... mask didn't last long either. You couldn't see very well in the dark.
Katie as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Toto was in her basket, but she thought that having Isaac on a leash was a better option for Toto.
This is what happens when you've got an older sister watching out for you...
Not quite so sure that I love this one as much...
She really is lucky to have a big sister who loves her so much. She just doesn't know it yet.
No, we don't believe in the traditional cake and ice cream. That's sooooo last year! 
Yes, the bag is as big as he is...
All the kids watching Seth open his presents. You can see the extreme enthusiasm on Cassie's face. Toothpaste is part of her daily diet.
Because of his enormous size, he's going to need the skills he's learning as an offensive lineman for his future as a center in the NFL!
Seth's first flag football game. We were all surprised that they actually knew how to run some real plays! It was fun to watch!
The boys all cheering him on. Way to go Seth!Can you tell I really find my kids cute? The actual event was much better than what I eventually caught on camera.... but it's still cute.
...unless you can't even win at your own game. Then there's not point in playing... just quit.
Or you could just make up your own rules so that you can win!
This was taken at Haws park while we were waiting for the food. He wanted to show me that he knew what he was doing, but it didn't work out the way he planned, so this was the result.
