Running Through the Sprinklers: Mtn. Green Style

Across from our home is a water retention pond, lovingly called "the ditch" by the boys. Who needs a yard when you've got a gorgeous green field next door? The boys love playing baseball, golf, kickball, and "tackle soccer" here, but had never timed it right to run through the sprinklers until this evening. They had A BLAST! 

It's Great to Be 8!

We are proud of Dallin and his decision to be baptized. He was very excited to be baptized and confirmed -- no arm twisting or complaints this time around. (No offense, Jack.)

Dallin is a wonderful big brother in our home. It's amazing to get up in the morning and see that he has already helped his little brothers get breakfast, unloaded part of the dishwasher, and has gotten dressed and made his bed. He's a better mother than I am these days! Sometimes he's almost too good to be true. (But then he'll whack Carson, proving he's a somewhat normal kid!)
