Bridger's Baptism

 My sweet little baby turned eight and got baptized.  What happened to the time.  I am so proud of Bridger for choosing the right and getting baptized.  He planned his program he wanted my brother and Jake my cousin to be his witnesses.  He ended up getting baptized twice because the first time his foot popped out of the water.  Of coarse he asked Warren to to baptize and confirm him.  While we were waiting for the boys to change I made a movie of Bridgers life that we could watch.  Warren gave him a beautiful blessing.  Bridger also wanted may dad to bear his testimony. My dad did such a great job he talked about how important it is to be baptized, that it keeps us safe.  Bridger was named after my Grandpa Dean, my dad also talked about how a few days before my grandpa passed away we were able to go to the hospital with my family and have the sacrament with my grandpa.  It was Christmas day.  My grandpa was able to bless and break the bread and water one last time.  We all remember how important it was for my grandpa to renew his baptismal covenants.  My grandpa always honored his priesthood and used it in his last few days.  He wanted to be safe and return to his Heavenly Father living his life the right way.  I know that my Grandpa is very proud of Bridger.  After my dad bore his testimony Bridger bore his.  He did such a great job.  He said that he knows he is a child of God and that Jesus died for him.  That Joseph Smith read the Book of Mormon and that the church is the true church on the earth.  That he knows that President Monson is a true prophet.  Bishop Bangerter told Bridger that in ten years he could see Bridger on a street corner bearing his testimony on his mission.  Then Grandpa Mike gave a closing prayer.  It was such a neat day I will never forget the feelings I had watching my son choose the right and make covenants with his heavenly Father and bearing his testimony.  I am truly a blessed girl.  I love my family so much!

Fall Leaves

 We had so much fun on our Sunday drive.  The leaves are so beautiful.  I think the best part of driving around is that your kids just open up and tell you everything.  They can ask you questions and you can express your feeeling so easily.   Some of our best times are driving in the car.

Temple Sqaure

We went out to Temple Square last Sunday.  I had such a great time with my family.  Two sister missionaries took us around and we watched a movie about familes.  It has been a really long time since we were there,  I would highly recomend going and seeing this movie if you have not.  Towards the end of the movie Mack snuggled up to me and had tears in his eyes and told me that he loved me and that he loves our family and this movie.  Mack is so busy all of the time but for just a short moment he was still and felt the spirit.  I am so thankful we were able to go and have such a fun time.

Dad's Special Day

My boys have been missing Warren a lot lately so they wanted to do something nice for him when he got home from work.  Bridger decided we would play Restaurant.  They were so cute they created a menu and had me make the items on it.  Then they set the table using my nicer dishes.  We made a sign for the front door.  Bridger wanted to dress up so they looked like waiters.  Bridger called Warren and told him I was not feeling very well so he would be in charge of dinner.  Ha ha.  The boys were so excited. They kept peeking out the door and waiting on the front porch.  When Warren finally got home Mack took his name and told him it would be about a five minute wait.  Then he took him to his chair.  Bridger then read him the menu and I dished Warren's order up and Bridger served it to him.  I have not  seen Warren smile that big in a long time.  He was so happy and the kids were so happy.  It was definitely worth it.

Backpacking

This is the brightest Rainbow I have ever seen, this picture does not do it justice.  We were really scared driving to our hike because it was raining so hard.  It finally cleared up.  Yay!  Sean is picking his nose.

 And the hike begins.

 Pumping Water

 Posing in front of Dead Mans Lake,

 Catching a fish.  I caught four fish in the first ten minutes.  It was so fun.  I loved fishing.  Then nothing for two days.  Fish should not get our hopes up like that.

 Thumbs up

 Taking a break

 We had so much fun.
