Aaron is 6

Aaron is a big six years old now.  His birthday was on a Wednesday so that day Bob got up early and got him Krispy Kremes and chocolate milk.  He took candy to school to share with his class.  And that night he requested Dominos pizza for dinner.  And we all jumped on the trampoline and opened presents.

Saturday was his friend party.  He had four friends over and they played in the backyard and on the trampoline and had a paper airplane contest off the balcony. For his cake, Aaron wanted funfetti cake and he made it easy on me and just wanted the number 6 on top. He got several lego kits as presents and they were all built by the end of the day.  He's getting really good with legos.

Aaron is such a fun, dynamic kid.  He brings a lot of excitement to our family.  He's doing great in kindergarten and he's reading really well.  His testimony is growing and he says some of the sweetest, well-thought-out prayers. He's having fun on his soccer team, he loves to ride his bike and jump on the trampoline.

Danny loves Origami

It started with ninja stars a few months ago.  Bob showed Danny how to do it and he was hooked.  He gets on origami websites and and youtube to find new things he can make.  He even found a book series called Origami Yoda that combines Origami and Star Wars! Some of the things he has made: ninja star that transforms into a frisbee, crane, frog, Yoda, Darth Vader, wallet, flower, claws, spikey ball. He takes paper everywhere he goes and is always folding something.

Rachel's Baptism







Rachel was baptized on September 3. We had a great weekend. Ryan and his family and Dustin and Grandma Zonda and Grandpa Cliff came. Rachel chose to go to her special lunch at Red Lobster because Danny had talked it up so much from when he went for his baptism. And she invited Danny to come since he's baptized too.

Her baptism was perfect. Her friends Savannah Dean and Jaclyn Salmon and their families and our old neighbor, May Robinson came to watch. She was so excited to get baptized. We're so proud of her.
