First Day of School

Is it really that time again?  No, it was actually that time almost two months ago.  Amazing how time flies when I've got SIX hours a day of quiet in the house.  The little girls and I are having a lot of fun home all day together and the big kids love being back at school again.

Don't mess with Truman!

 I know Truman doesn't look very mean or intimidating but give him a frisbee...He actually feels really bad about what happened--not as bad as Bret feels.  I told Bret not to worry about people staring, he looks tough with a black eye.

Dexter's Baptism

 I am so proud of Dexter.  He is such a good boy.  At night after everything had settled down he and I were sitting on the front porch talking about his baptism and I asked him his feelings about the day.  He told me that right after he was baptized he could feel the Spirit and he knew that was Heavenly Father's way of telling him he had done the right thing.
 He had so much support on his big day.  This picture is of most of the kids who attended his baptism that will be getting baptized this year.  The little girl to the right of Dexter is his friend the rest are his cousins.  We've got some AWESOME family!!  We've got a HUGE family!  Bret's got six siblings and I've got seven siblings.
 This is Dexter with his grandma and grandpa Gundersen.  This was the last baptism they attending before leaving to serve a mission in Russia.  I am so proud of them!!  (My parents left before I was able to get a picture of them with Dexter, bummer.)

Spanish Dance Festival

Yikes, I'm a bit behind.  Last April Truman, Dexter & Eve danced in the Spanish Dance Festival at school.  They do this every year and it is SOOO cool.  I love that my kids are in the Spanish Immersion program!
