I love this chubby little hand ;)

The boys exploring and playing

And our day ended with Noah almost stepping on a baby rattle snake...Josh came to our rescue and killed it with a rock...Gotta protect our babies ;) and seriously, Noah was like an inch away from stepping on him...

Folsom Lake

Hope you are enjoying your summer as much as we are...One of our favorite places to go up here in Sacramento is Folsom Lake. These were pictures from back in May right before summer began and gets to crazy here at the lake. I love days like this when it's just the little family hanging out ;)

We found a water spider. We kept throwing it back out into the water and watched it crawl back to us ;)

Easter 2011

Deveon is Baptized

Deveon's Baptism

June 4th 2011

We had my parents, Josh's parents, Uncle Jesse and some friends from our ward come be a part of Deveon's baptism. Uncle Jesse gave the Holy Ghost Talk and Deveon's Sunday School teacher Sister Hutchings gave the talk on Baptism.

Our kids sang 'When I am Baptized' while Deveon changed after he was baptized. Here are all the kids waiting for Deveon to get dunked ;)

Deveon listening to our Bishop welcome him into our ward as a member of the church.

Dalen and Deveon with Uncle Jesse ;)

Day Two

Sea Day * Lazy Day

This is me and SIL April ready for dinner on our first formal night.

After dinner they had a show in the ship's theater. The ship had a couple of aerialists that were pretty amazing. Jocka and Maria. Jocka was on an olympics team in Portugal and had years of gymnastics and circus training under his belt and was now working as an solo aerialist on the ship. Maria was a Penn State Eagles cheerleader that had gotten a job with Celebrity Cruises as a dancer on board. She was really interested in learning about his act and it took off from there. He taught her everything and they were amazing! They pretty much performed every night and everyone loved them! Including me ;)
Check them out in the Celebrity Singers and Dancer Video at the end...

Roses from the Captain because they love us and we are part of their Captain's Club for going on so many cruises! ;) The roses were in our room when we got back...
