ZACK'S BAPTISM

Zack was so excited for His BIG day!!!  Here he is just before he was BAPTIZED!!

And of course, afterwards, he was feeling PRETTY COOL!!

We were SO thankful for all of the FAMILY that came from out of town to celebrate this big day!!  We had Meemaw, Grandpa, Grammie, Aunt  Stephanie, Camila, Uncle Brian, Ben, Aunt Debbie, Cosi, Tom, and Max!  Thanks for coming everyone, we LOVED having you here!  We love you guys!!

We were also, SO thankful for all of our FRIENDS coming and helping us celebrate!! It was so much fun having everyone over after the baptism!  We love you guys!

Although the highlight was the BAPTISM--We filled the week with all kinds of adventures!!  The kids played WAY too many video games--which resulted in the adults having a GREAT time!!   We started feeling guilty--but then we figured.  Live it up!  They're happy--we're happy!--It's very rare they do that!  Although we did--PORK it (the whole week!)  We also managed to squeeze in some work out time!  Here we are all intensely doing P90x.  You see, Debbie was in town.  That meant, we biked the hogbacks (hills along the lake for something like 4 hours) then came home to start in on the real work out!  the AB RIPPER!  Then onto to full body workout!  Meemaw, Grammie, Stephanie, Debbie and the girls are now ToTally CUT!!  It's not easy lifting huge cans for weights-you know!  Best of all -was doing it all together!  It was so fun to WORK IT!  The boys-(Grandpa, Brian, Mark,and Josh) also had a GRAND OLD time and hit the links a couple of times!!  Josh even got to drive the golf cart (our friend is the owner--and let Josh drive alone)  He was in HEAVEN!!

ZACK is a full fledge 8 YEAR OLD!  Cub SCOUTS and All!  He was so proud to get all dressed up and head out on his ge0-cashing adventure with the scouts!  Afterwards he came home and we had all the Youth here for a BBQ!  He hung with them, answering all their questions on how cool it is to be a CUB scout!!!  He didn't take off the UNI until late that night.  Hat/Belt/Neckerchief/Shirt/Book and all!

Our little MISS ALLIE is growing UP!  Here she is graduating from Preschool.  How crazy is that!  Yep--it means I am going to DIE next year.  What will I do with myself?  You know, when they were younger I could hardly wait for this day--I had a huge list of all the things I NEEDED to do.  Now, I don't want to do any of those things.  It makes me sad to have her gone, and it's just another reminder that LIFE is passing us by!

MADDIE  is also way too grown up!  Here she is at the big 5th grade GRADUATION!!   She looked so cute, and had so much fun with all of her FRIENDS.  Below, she is dressed up as Becky Thatcher for the big Tom Sawyer Picnic Costume contest!  She had to give a speech, and act like she was BECKY THATCHER.  She won 2nd place!  Way to go Maddie!!BYU BASKETBALL CAMP

Here are the boys living it up in the BYU DORMS (or Dome-as Zack says!!)  Mark took the boys, and met up with the Downeys, Fifes and Trumans for the BYU Basketball camp.  They were also so SURPRISED to see other UCLA friends --the Millers, Longsons and Perry's.  SO FUN!

ZACK felt like a CHAMP meeting all the BYU players.  He knows all their stats and then some(It's embarrassing!)  Being with the Fifes, Trumans and Downeys was a real HIT!!  The boys hit it off and had a great time.  They were there over MEMORIAL DAY  weekend so they went up to Salt Lake on Sunday for the Spoken word, and "This is the Place" Monument.  Then of course a fireside by some awesome talkers I'm SURE!  Great Times, Great Friends!!  The GIRLS and I stayed with the Cousins in LINDON, and had a great time being together- (Magleby's cake, Star Trek, great muddy Mountain Bike rides,  playing our string quartet, and of  course--shootin' the breeze!)
