Hyrum Dam

Aug 22 We went with a lot of our friends to Hyrum Dam for one more summer fun weekend! We all had a lot of fun and enjoyed all of the company! This picture is of Jason with Kynlee, Jamie B. with Lauren and Karson.

Hitting a few bumps!
Have you ever seen the look of sheer terror? Well I think this is pretty close! Check out Jessa and Kayci's faces!
Done with the ride for the entire day!! I love Jamie's face and her hand saying "that's enough!!"

The girls decided that they enjoyed just riding in the boat and watching everyone hit the bumps much better!! Kynlee

Kayci, much happier on the boat! Jessa, just hanging out on the boat!
At least we ended the day with smiles and hopefully all of the fear will be forgotten! (hopefully???)

The Zoo

Aug 20 Kynlee and I went to the zoo with some friends, we had a ton of fun!! Jessa and Kayci always want to know what we do all day while they are gone! (shhhh!!)

Imagination

Aug 14 Now that Jessa and Kayci are in school all day Kynlee's imagination has really come out!! Kynlee and I have been having a lot of one on one time and I am completely enjoying it, she has such a fun personality to be around.

Clouds

Aug 11 Kayci's homework for the night was to go outside and find different shapes in the clouds. Unfortunately the sky didn't have a cloud in sight so we had to use our imaginations. Before we knew it everyone thought it looked fun and they all joined in!

Jessa's Baptism

Aug 2nd--This was a very special day for Jessa!! She was baptized and confirmed by her Dad. We are so happy for her and the decision that she made. I am excited that she has taken the first step to having an eternal family and returning home with her Father in Heaven. I am thankful for my Savior and for all that he did for us. I know that he died for us and that our sins can be forgiven because of him. I pray that Jessa will feel the Holy Ghost with her daily and make the decisions in her life that will bring her closer to her Heavenly Father. I know that the Holy Ghost is a constant companion that is with us when we are doing what is right. He has helped me in my life numerous times and I plan on his help always. I hope and pray that Jessa will continue to take the right steps in this crazy world to stay on the path back to our Heavenly Father.

Thanks to everyone that made the trip to be with us on this special day!! We love and appreciate all of you!!

Grandpa Cheshire, Grandma Sue and Jessa. Thank you soooooo much for all that you guys did for us, it would not have been a success if you hadn't helped out so much. Thank you! We love and appreciate all that you do for our family.

Watch out for Kayci, she knows the gas very well and not so much the brake!! (Yikes)

Family Reunion

July 24th--Every year we go to a family reunion with my dads side of the family. We have been going ever since I can remember.
