Herriman Town Days

So, We celebrated Herriman Town Days in June this year with the Beardens and lots of other friends. We started the day by running the 1 mile fun run with the Edwards. We totally rocked it. :) All of us won medals. (rememer: 1 mile) We plan to set our sites a little higher next year and do the 5K. Then we went to the Bearden's for the parade and treats. We spent pretty much the whole day there hung out with good friends, had yummy food, the kids played in the hot tube and we stayed really late for Fireworks. We love the Beardens. Thanks so much for inviting us.

Brock Played Soccer

Brock didn't want to play baseball this year. But, really wanted to try Soccer. So, we gave it a shot. He was actually pretty good and really enjoyed it. We will have to see what next spring will bring

Wrestling!!

It's been a while since I've made some time to blog, and I have lots of things to document. So, my goal this week is to catch up on a few things. Starting here: WRESTLING!

Brock and Parker both wrestled this year. We like it. It's pretty layed back. Its a great way to keep in shape and make new friends. I'm not sure if wresting will ever take them any farther than that but as for right now, we like it. They did improve quite a bit this year and learned to be more aggressive. I hope they want to try again next year.

We Love Cousins!!

Yesterday, we got the chance to tend ALL of our nieces and nephews at our house. They are all so stinkin' cute. Its amazing to me how easy it is to love other people's children so much. And, we sure do love them. AJ and Kaci are visiting from Alaska, we wish they could stay forever!

Welcome to Scouting Parker

Parker started Cub Scouts last month. So far, so good. He's having fun and learing lots of fun new stuff. Parker is very "goal" (reward) oriented. I'm excited to watch him pass off all of his goals.

All About Parker Week

Everybody knows that birthdays are really big deal for our family. And, I am perfectly fine with that. Parker's Birthday was on a Thursday, but again, we celebrated all week. Parker is a really great kid and he deserved it. He was baptised on Saturday March 5th and it was a really special day for our family. I know Parker was completely ready to be baptized. He was so excited about it. He was pretty excited to get pocket knife from Cory as well. I want to share a little story that shows that Parker really does just "get it":

A couple of weeks before he was baptized, he was reading the Book of Mormon Reader. (the Book of Mormon with lots of pictures). He was in the middle of it and he said "Oh man, another guy is gonna see an angel". I started to laugh at his expression with this and I said, "but Parker, can you imagine how cool that would be to see and angel? I have never seen an angel." And my cute little Parker T replies, "Mom, you haven't seen an angel because you are already smart enough to believe the truth. Only people who aren't smart enough to believe in the truth need to see angels." Right then I knew that Parker is really beginning to understand the Gospel and I hope with everything inside of me that he is always "smart enough to know the truth". Happy Birthday T- We love you very much!
