The King of Chess

Blue, "The King of Chess" and his royal assistant Xander performed at the ward talent show. Blue showed everyone how to win chess in 3 moves. Notice the matching blazers, all their idea.

Blue's Baptism

Our special eight year old.

The proud parents and child.

Jason and Blue in the classic jumpsuits. Cruz was not happy.


We had Blue's Baptism on Sunday after church. It will top the list of special moments in my life. I am so proud of Blue for making this choice. Blue felt very strongly about the whole experience. He was very happy and later told me that it took everything he could to keep from crying during the confirmation. I asked him why and he said that he could tell a big difference in his life when he recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost. He is a very special boy to our family. When we got in the car afterwards, Slade got this really serious look on his face and said, alright, only two more years for me to prepare for my baptism!

My Birthday Boy

Well, today is the big day. Blue is Eight! We had a fun birthday party at the ice skaing rink. I am having a little trouble with the ol' computer so this picture will have to do until I can post more of the big day. I love my Blue Boy. He is a pleasure to have in this family. I am excited to see what life holds for my special little brainiac.

More Brotherly Love

A typical moment at our house.

All Wiped Out

All the boys were crammed into Jason's car and fell asleep on the way home. I just thought it was crazy how they all crashed the exact same way. I love my crazy boys.
