FINALLY!!

Well, August 2, 2008 finally arrived, and us girls couldn't have been happier. As you can see, that was the day Breaking Dawn was released. Yeah Baby! Although, the date was a bit of an inconvience because we were tent camping in Yosemite at the time. But, that wasn't going to keep us from our book, and our Edward. I called a local book store in Oakhurst, a little town outside of Yosemite, and reserved 5 copies for us. We just had to drive 3 hours round trip down the windiest road in California in the middle of the night, to go and pick them up. No problem. By the way, it was worth every minute!!
Don't you love our "I love Edward" t-shirts?! We made them ourselves in Yosemite. Nothing like doing arts and crafts in the great outdoors. It was fun, and Brittani and I are able to have a nice mother-daughter bonding experience. She finished the book before me because I had a test in one of my classes I am taking during the summer, and studying for that slowed down my reading, but I finished within 4 days, and it was AWESOME!! I loved the ending, but that's all I'm gonna say!!

Yay for Cub Scouts!!


Zachary is now in Cub Scouts because he turned eight. I thought he looked so handsome in his uniform that I had to post a pic. He loves going to the activities every week, and lucky for me Brittani has Young Women at the same time...so only one trip to the church. Well, except for when Hayli has Activity Days. But, I'll take two trips over three any day!!

Zach is baptized, hooray!

Well, on July 12, 2008 my little Zachary David was baptized at the age of 8, into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Yeah, for you Zach! Congratulations, we are all sooooo very proud of you.
Lots of family came up for the big day. Here we are with Zachary's Grandma and Grandpa Hawkins! Zach was baptized by his Grandpa, don't they look handsome in their white jumpsuits?!
Of course, we had to get a group shot of all the cousins. Aren't they the cutest cousins you've ever seen?!
Yo, yo, yo. Calling all the ladies...
Even Zachary's Great-Grandma Myrosh and Great-Auntie Mary traveled 6 hours round trip for Zachary's baptism. Thanks so much to everyone that was able to make it. It was a special day for Zachary and our family, and it was nice to share it with family and friends.
