Doing a little grocery shopping


Libby loves riding in the car at Publix....now that Mommy has three kids it is a fight as to who has to walk.

Libby's first time on an airplane

On our way back from Virginia and West Virginia Mommy was sad because Daddy had to celebrate his birthday all by himself in Miami.  He was there for work.  Mommy decided to surprise Daddy and fly from Jacksonville to Miami to see him for the weekend.  Libby also got to fly for the first time!  Thank you, Aunt Itsy, for watching the rest of us so Mommy could be with Daddy.

Charlotte's "Lottie" Blessing

Charlotte was blessed on Sunday and we weren't able to be there.
We were so lucky to have been there when
Aunt Beka decided to take pictures of Lottie in her blessing outfit.
She is so adorable and we love Aunt Beka.

Visiting the Gruel Family, Grandma Julia, and Uncle Joe

We are so glad we got to come and spend time with Aunt Rebekah and Uncle Will.  We love their family and can't wait to see them again.  We are also so glad we got to see Grandma Julia and Uncle Joe.

Gideon loved playing with Libby.  It was so cute!

Mary is such a good, little mother.  She loved holding the babies and was always so helpful at dinner time. 



The boys had tons of fun playing in the trees back behind their house.
Ephraim, Joseph, Nolan and me.

It was so fun to be serenaded by the trumpets!

Nothing better than two forms of technology

Elijah was in heaven at Aunt Kristi and Uncle Mike's house....technology was everywhere and at one point he was playing the same game on the iPad and iPhone at the same time.

Outdoor fun in Virginia

We went to the park and also decided to play a little football, soccer, and baseball.  It was tons of fun!





John and Ty were having so much fun pushing Libby around.  They were going as fast as they could and she was loving it.


Elijah doing what he does best...eating!

John's Baptism







We are so glad we got to go to John's baptism.  We even got to be a part of it.  We sang two songs.  Elijah didn't sing very much but spent his time trying to get Uncle Brad's phone from him because he was recording it and Elijah wanted play games.  




We love you, John and are so proud of the decision you made and the example you are to your younger cousins.  

The baptism celebration luncheon

Aunt Kristi did such a great job on the decorations and food.  We were so glad we all got to be together on this wonderful day!

Special gifts for John's baptism

We were all able to give John some gifts to help him remember his baptism day.  Nee Nee had a book about baptism and read it to us. 


Aunt April and Uncle Joe gave him gum that had a cute poem about chewing a piece of gum and reading scriptures until the gum doesn't have anymore flavor. 



He also got a baptism towel to help him remember this special day. 

Nana gave him a tie tack and journal.


He got a set of scriptures and we thought that was so neat. 

We gave him a picture that he can hang up in his room.
