Studman doing the Spudman

The kids made R.B. cry when they showed up with their signs ready to cheer him on. We had so much fun!

I know he was glad to have the swim over with.

R.B. racin along on his bike. Check out those arms!

Spencer and Drew helped run across the finish line with R.B.

R.B. competed in his first triathalon this year, the Idaho Spudman. He did an awesome job despite the nasty 2 inch staple that found its way into one of R.B.'s tires and added a good 12 minutes on his time while changing his tire. R.B. has since practice changing his tire and has cut about 5 minutes off of his time already!! We had such a great time watching him. He is excited about this sport and ready for the next one!

Spencer's New Friend

This is Spencer's newest little pet. His name is Leo. He is a Leopard Gecko. His Grandma Erickson sparked an interest in getting a gecko. She has little ones that run around in her flat in Fiji. Spencer worked very hard to and saved enough money to buy Leo and all the stuff you need to make a happy home for him.

He is actually pretty darned cute! So is the lizard, I s'pose.

Dyin' the Eggs

This Easter was a lot of fun. We got to have Courtney and John, Bella & Chase stay with us for the weekend. We had a great time having them stay in our home.

Gathering around for some eggstra fun times.

Brooklynne's 6th Birthday!!!

Let's get this party started right now! Drew taking the lead on the dance stage! The girls loved him, of course!
The girls enjoying a refreshing drink!

Brooklynne's cake was so much fun to make. I had a blast making everything out of fondant. She was really happy with the results, too!

She got her password journal!

We had a bubble gum blowing contest at her party and this is Landon's attempt!

Brooklynne's good friend Megan was the winner!

Way to go!

How low can you go? Let's limbo!

Brooklynne's party turned out to be a lot of fun. We had beautiful weather, fun games, great friends, and yummy treats! What more could you ask for? Happy Birthday Brooklynne!

Grandma E. leaves for her mission to Fiji

This was a bitter sweet day for us. Sweet because it was Drew's baptism and a bit bitter because it was the day that Alice left for her mission to Fiji and will be gone for a year and a half.

Drew was pretty excited to be baptized. He is such a great boy and a super example to our entire family! Thanks Drew!

DREW TURNED 8 !!!

Drew was so excited to get his own Nintendo DS.
Grandpa and Grandma W gave him a baptism towel.

And Brooklynne gave him a big huge hug that made her eyeballs pop out

Drew is always so happy and so content with most everything that comes his way. We are so grateful he is in our lives and love him so much. We had such a great time with him on his eighth birthday.
