Mason's Baptism

Mason was baptized and confirmed on July 5th by his dad. We were able to do it while in Utah this summer. We had alot of family and friends there share in Mason's big day. Uncle Jeff and Uncle Brett both gave really great talks and I know that was really special for Mason. Aren't my guys handsome?!

It was so nice to have all his cousins and grandparents and friends there for his special day. This is a picture of the Hooley cousins at the after party. We ate lots of pizza and had yummy brownies.

Brett and Hope's wedding

I was able to make it out for Brett and Hopes wedding. It was my first solo trip, and I was kinda nervous. It was really fun though, and Ryan did a great job taking care of everything here for me. Thanks mom and Dad for helping me get out there. Rikkie, me and my mom went to Swiss Days and did alot of shopping. I was able to visit with Ryan's side of the family too. I am really glad I went. Hope looked beautiful and Brett seemed really calm, especially considering that on the way to the Temple they got in an accident and totaled their car.

Fourth of July

Here we are out on the front lawn doing fireworks. Kennedy was at the Stadium of Fire with Mckenna , Madi and Rikkie. Miley Cyrus was performing and they were lucky enough to get tickets and even some autographs. Madilyn was able to meet her and talk to her. The girls were even on the 10 o'clock news. That was a big night for them.

Hiking Timp

Ryan really wanted to get in the mountains while in Utah, so he took Kennedy, Mason , and there cousin Weston up to hike toTimp cave on the fourth of July. Ryan's brother's family also went. I think Uncle Jeff went too. Aidyn and I stayed home with the younger cousins and went boating instead with Michelle and John and their kids, and Tessa.

Camping

We had a great time camping with the Hooley's. There were lots of 4 wheelers and toys to go around. Someone was always on a ride. We had big camp fires at night and we played lots of cards. We even got great grandma to go for a ride in the Rino. It was lots of fun!

Summer Vacation 2008

We got to go camping while we were in Utah this summer. One trip to Skyline with the Hooley's and a trip to the Big Horn Ranch with the Ovard's. Mason and Aidyn loved practicing there shooting skills. They set up targets out in the bushes and they did that for a quite a while. Kennedy was too busy riding Weston's 4 wheeler to do much of anything else. Weston is always so nice to share his wheeler with the kids. Thanks buddy!

UTAH SUMMER VACATION
2008

We were able to go to Utah for a few weeks this summer. We went for Mason's baptism and it was so nice to have our families there for the big event. I know it meant alot to Mason. We got to fly this time and it was so much better than a two day car trip with three kids and two dogs would have been. We took some family pictures while we were there, we went camping (twice), and just had a really good time.
