Temple Square 2010

Just before the camera's battery died, I snapped these pics of our trip to Temple Square.

Luke's 1st Pinewood Wood Derby

Waiting for the races to start... Luke's heat is about to begin...

That's Luke Pinewood Derby car - the Blue & Gold one on the end. He and Mom designed and painted it.

And they're off! Luke is in the lead!!

Who will win??? I'll spoil it for you since I didn't get a shot fast enough - it was Luke!

Luke's car at the finish line. He won this heat too!


Time for celebrations!

The final awards have been given out and Luke didn't win 1st place, but he did get an award for the most awesome Cub Scout paint job. He was really happy with his night.

I wonder what we'll do next year?

Gardner Village '10

The annual trip to Gardner Village to see the Witches...

Even after all these years, Brooke is still freaked out by this witch - go figure

Here are some random shots of the kids

Luke's Baptism

On September 11, 2010 Luke was baptized by his dad as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

We are really proud of his decision to be baptized.

Luke Gets His Bobcat

Luke joined Cub Scouts when he turned 8 (Aug. 20th) and he worked really hard to pass off all his Bobcat requirements by the time we went to his first Pack Meeting on Sept. 1st.

Here he is pining my mother's pin on me...

Big hugs!

Here is Luke showing off his new Bobcat patch. Look how proud he is! We are too!

Luke's 8th Birthday

For Luke's 8th birthday, he wanted a Kirby cake, but he wanted a yellow Kirby instead of a pink one (it's real color). For those of you who don't know, Kirby is a character from a video game.

This was a party year for Luke and he had his first boy & girl party. I don't know how fun it ended up being for the girls, because he had everyone battle Pokemon cards...

Day at the Zoo

Nanny took everyone to the Zoo today. It was lots of fun for everyone!

This is what makes my heart happy...

Just "monkeying" around...
