Yes, I am 10 years old!!!

Anna is ten years old. To celebrate, we had 15 girlfriends over for a slumber party. They had so much fun. We made sleepy time headbands, watched Winn-dixie, ate pizza, and cake and ice cream. It was a fun time. I loved the expression on Anna's face when they sang Happy Birthday! Not all the girls spent the night. By the end of the night we had only 9 girls left. In the morning we went to the donut shop. I think Anna will remember her 10th birthday for a long time, plus I have the pictures.

I did it - let the beltloops begin!!

Jake earned his first beltloop - Baseball and his Bobcat badge. Congratulation, little man!

It's Great to Eight - Jake gets baptized.

Jake is 8. Where did the time go? He was so excited to be baptized. Grandma and Grandpa came. Michael Eschenberg baptized Jake. Mike is TJ's dad. TJ is Jake's best friend. Our friend, Joel Congelliere proform the confirmation of the Holy Ghost. In his blessing, Joel told Jake to listen to his sisblings, that Adam and Anna would help him in life. He mention this a couple of times. Our friend, Jamie Yager had a bird-eye view of Jake during the confirmation. She said the there was just enough space between the men who were included in the circle that she could see Jake's face. She said that he was so angelic looking - focused on the words being said. We had a get together at the house afterwards. It was a nice day.

Men in the circle - Joel Congelliere, Steve Simmons, Michael Eschenberg, Jeremy Jaggi, David Jones, Jon Yager, and Gary Dalton.

Summer is coming

Just a taste of summer - being wet from swimming, going to the beach, and enjoying the heat. We can not wait!!

Rocking Thru the Decades - Jake's 2nd Grade Play

Yes it is Rocking thru the Decades at Sycamore Canyon.
Jake's 2nd Grade play was in May.

I love this cheesy grin. Jake was very animated and really into the play. I always think of this as payday for mom's. He was so cute. His class sang the songs from Annie - It's a hard knock for us and the Sun will come out tomorrow. The next classes were moving thru the 60's, 70's and 80's. It was a fun evening.

Happy Birthday, Jake

Happy Birthday Jake

Jake decided this year to take the money and run. He decided to just have TJ over and take the money ($150.00) to Target. He had the best time at Target. He bought Bakuguns and a game for his DS. I kept telling him that he did not have to spend it all. It was a fun night. We went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. Happy Birthday, Jake. It is great to be eight.

California Poppies - a Fun road Trip

It is California Poppy Time. We drove up to Lancaster to the California Poppy Reserve. It was a cold and windy day, but we hiked the trails to see the poppies. It was beautiful with the hillside in full bloom. We will plan on going again in 2010.
