Getting the garden ready

One of the reasons we bought our new house that we did was because of this big space in the backyard of dirt. The previous owners used it for their dog run, but we are turning it into our garden. Having a garden this big, requires big equipment. So we went and bought a rototiller. Jon is getting our garden prepped. We had the kids help us as well.

It grows weeds really quickly

Dinosaurs Galore!

While Penny was at Youth Conference today, I took the boys to the Sundome to Jurassic Quest. They had so much fun. There were so many activities for them to do besides just see dinosaurs. We paid extra so the kids could do all the activities and it was well worth it. They had so much fun.

They were a little worried to stand next to this guy for a picture.

This was their favorite activity. They are looking for fossils. They got to keep what they found.

They play mini golf

And of course got their faces painted.

A scary T Rex

A Sabre Tooth tiger

They both look really scary, and pretty cute in my opinion.

Riding on the dino raceway

The boys had so much fun. They even got to make a shirt and take a picture in front of a green screen. They were so excited to tell Dad what they did, but mom was ready to go home and go to bed.

Baptism

Today was such a special day. Penny has decided to be baptized. Her parents recently signed away their rights, so Penny was able to be baptized. We are so proud of her decision. Jon was able to baptize and confirm her.

Elder Christensen and Elder Allen taught her the discussions

School Award

We are so proud of Penny. I went with Penny tonight to Eisenhower High School where she was recognized for outstanding achievement at Ike. She has improved so much in school in the last 6 months.
