My sister Allison's Wedding in Utah!




My sister married her eternal companion in the Bountiful Temple. We later celebrated with a ring ceremony and reception at Thanksgiving Point. She was such a beautiful bride. The day was filled with excitement and laughter. It was not only a special day for Allison, but for our whole family. Twelve years ago, we were all sealed together as a family, and her wedding day was the first time we have all been together again in the temple as a family. What a blessing it is to know that we are an eternal family!


It was fun getting all dressed up. Jaxson even loved wearing his little tux. Handsome young boys they were and my nieces were adorable!

Brayden's Baptism


Friday, June 5 th Brayden entered the waters of baptism. He was baptized by his Papa, who was baptized 13 years ago by Josh. Brayden thought this was special and we saw it fit that Papa get to baptize his first grandson. It was a special day not only for Brayden, but Papa too. Daddy confirmed Brayden and gave him the gift of the Holy Ghost. We felt truly blessed to have our family and friends there to support Braydens decision to be baptized.

Time to catch up!

San Diego and Sea World with The Dow's



We spent the day at Sea World and loved watching the boys get wet during the Shamu show. They were fascinated with the bat rays, especially when they could touch them and even get splashed by them. Our night ended as we drove home and saw the beautiful San Diego Temple all lit up on the hill.




Walking down by the harbor with our eight boys was interesting. More so because of all the people that would stare at us in amazement of so many kids and the fact that they are all boys. :) Being so close to the water called for a much needed pep talk to our very curious boys. :)



Cameron's 3rd Birthday Party






My cousin's wedding





Cameron and Ashlin were the ring bearer and flower girl. They were so cute!


Still cute even with my jammies on my head. This is what happens when Papa watches me!


Brayden's 8th Birthday Party







We took Brayden and his friends bowling. Out of all of them, Landon won, which was so hard for Brayden to accept. :) Then it was back tp our house for some guitar hero and goodies.
