Cute Boys!

Happy Birthday to Me!

 All of the children helped me open presents! 

Fourth of July Parade

 Serena and Aleeya have been participating in a music camp this summer and they performed in the Layton Parade.   They had matching patriotic outfits and looked so cute!

After his baptism, Brother Christensen asked Carter how he felt and he said, "wet."  Typical, Carter response.  We had a nice program and the McBride's sang "I Feel My Savior's Love."  Taylor gave a nice blessing with the confirmation.  We asked those in attendance to share their testimonies on cards, so Carter has a nice remembrance. 

Riverdale Splash Pad

 We went to the Riverdale Splash Pad.  Great field trip, shade to sit in and free fun for the kids.  They played on the playground more than in the water.

Spencer wasn't loving it, so I lost interest and didn't take any other pictures!  Guess we will just have to go again!
