Today is Avery's 8th birthday.  She was baptized by her father and confirmed by Grandpa.  It was a lovely ceremony and very well attended by many wonderful friends.  Happy day, Avery!  We love you.

Young Womanhood Recognition

Today Mandy and I received our Young Woman Medallions and bee awards.  We both felt inspired to complete the work when we attended the training meeting with Sister Elaine Dalton in August.  The new medallion is on the left, with the bee.  The old one is on the right.  I plan to wear both chains together.

Tyler's Birthday

Tyler turned 13 on his birthday.  His brothers helped him count.

Kirk's Birthday

Happy Birthday to Kirk.  We celebrated with cake, ice cream and presents.  Then the kids decorated Halloween cookies.
