Eclipse Chasing

We happened to be headed home from a family trip on the day that the solar eclipse would occur. We realized that if we hung out at Grandma's house a little longer that we could catch the eclipse on the way home and be right in the path of one of the best places to watch it. We were on the road during the beginning of the eclipse so I didn't get any pictures of that and then we got back on the road after it reached the zenith so we could get home before midnight. It was an awesome experience and I am glad I was able to take some photos of it.

When I am Baptized

This last month our now 8 year old, Andrew was baptized. He was very excited and took it very seriously. Sometimes when he realizes he did something not nice I look over and see him with his arms folded and head bowed. "What are you doing?" I asked him once. "I'm saying sorry to Heavenly Father." he says. No big deal.

Some family and  friends were able to come to the baptism and we had everyone over to our house afterwards for lunch and cake. It was a good day.

William Is 3!

This last week our little William turned 3 years old! We had a little family party at home. The main present that he got was a Cars 2 scooter for him to ride with his brothers outside. He is so fun and cute and independent sometimes. He very much lives up to him name. We are working on potty training but I don't think it will happen until he "wills" it to. Ha.

Yes, 3 cars, 3 years old!

We often have a hard time getting him to open his eyes for pics. As soon as we say "smile" he closes his eyes.  So we usually have to catch him by surprise.
