about this and he had a lot of fun.

Jacob loves to go up to the bike park at Elk Grove park.
He loves to go up all the hills and ride all around.
We have many more adventures planned for a fun summer!!

at the same time. In March we went to UT, Jessie came to josh's and we had a fun time
shopping, yummy food and going to the salon.........

found. He rode his bike half way around the block
with the turtle in one hand, and didn't even crash.
He than let him go in our pond.

Yes we have puppies!! lucky for us there where only
3, and they are all black. Crazy since their mom Saddie
is chocolate and their dad Duke is yellow. We will be finding
good homes for them soon!!

Puppies at 3 weeks. they are chunks!!

MOTHER'S DAY

On Mother's day we got to skype with Elder Chandler
It was so fun to hear and see him, we were able to get Jessie and Josh
all in on the skype.( Thanks to Mandy, who had to work so she wasn't
able skype) It was a great Mother's day treat to have almost all my kids
talking and seeing each other togather.  Jeremy told us he only had 40 min.
but I'm thinking we were talking for more like an hr. and a half.
There was another Elder on another computer, so Jeremy went by his time
He is doing so well in Brazil..... Can't wait til christmas
and everyone will be on skype!!!

LAS VEGAS

BLUE MAN SHOW
In May John had some Allstate meetings in Vegas, so
Jacob and I decide we would go with him and while he
was in meetings and stuff we would go have fun!! And we
did have fun!! We were going to go to Cedar City UT.
and visit Mandy and Ben (they live 3 hrs. from Vegas)
but they decided to come visit us in Vegas instead.
We had so much fun pool hoping, walking the strip at night,
and going to  The Blue Man Show!!We had awesome seats
3rd row, and we were lucky that nothing got on us!!
We were all a little nervous. It was a great show!!

A quick picture in front of The Blue Men

The M&M store in Vegas.
We walked the Vegas strip all the way.
Fun times in vegas, and than of course we had to have
some candy for our walk back to the hotel.

Mandy and Ben
So glad they could come visit us in Vegas and hang out
with us for a few days.



JACOB'S BAPTISM

Josh and Jacob
In April Jacob was baptized on his 8th birthday.
Everyone in the family came home for his big day,
the only person missing was Jeremy who was in Brazil.
After much thought Jacob decide he wanted his brother
to baptise him, and his dad would confirm him.
