Brynn's Baptism Day!



Brynn was baptized June 7th.  We were so proud of her and were happy to share her excitement in the event.  We were lucky to have Jon's parents, sister Jill and her husband and baby, Mikey and Gage, and Grandma Vilate all come down from Utah.  We also had our California cousins and family there to support Brynn.  Thank you to everyone that helped with our last minute musical number, I know I can always count on my family to just pick something up and perform.  We enjoyed a great weekend and had a fun party after the baptism.  I think Brynn loved this more than her birthday!  We are so blessed!

Bath time is so much fun!!



I love the age where taking a bath just makes their day and it seems to make any grumpy, tired child happy.  Carley gets so excited if anyone even mentions the word bath and starts walking up the stairs saying "ba, ba" in her cute little language.  Jensen always wants bubbles, and every time Berkeley is here, they always stay in the tub for record times.




The end of the school year is always fun and busy.  Braden and Brynn had their annual art fair where Brynn got to square dance and they both displayed their art to be "auctioned" off.  They love this because they get half of the proceeds.  We were glad that Grandma Cathy and Aunt Jillian and Berkeley could be there.  It was crazy as we rushed off to dinner and then to Braden's pine wood derby.  I know, we better just get used to it.

We are so proud of Braden and Brynn.  Brynn had a great birthday and is 8 years old.  I can't believe it.  Braden is plugging away with Scouts and is always working on the next thing.


So I am finally on the "Twilight" bandwagon and have no time to blog.  I must read about vampires.  This will be quick.  Jon and I had a great week together in New York and Boston.  We went to NY with the Fords who used to live there.  Jon and Adam grew up together.  They knew all the great places to eat, and we loved running in central park.  I actually ran almost 6 miles, which is a lot for me, but it was so beautiful I couldn't resist.
