Ian

Look who turned 8! Ian was super excited about taking his pictures and being the special one. We did it on his actually birthday.

He thought it was so funny that he could make silly faces, like in the second picture, and it wouldn't show. We teased his mom later about it.

What a great day this was! Can't wait for the better one, his baptism, up ahead.

Samara, a new niece

Yeah, so it's been over a year. We just celebrated her first birthday with her. She's a sweet, smart girl.

Check out this incredible quilt! I wish you could see all the detail that when into the stitching!

He told me his name was "Batman"

That's right. And rather than try to remember one more boy name, I just went with it. (I think his real name is Bryce.)

 The whole family is completely into the superheroes theme, so we tried a Clark Kent/Superman theme below.  (Makes even more sense why he told me his name was Batman.)

Sarah and Wayne

Wayne says he never smiled much before Sarah.

Sarah says Wayne understands her old soul.

That can only lead to one thing. 

Here they are engaged to be married.

Carson

This is from last year. Carson was getting baptized and his sweet mom got him a new suit for the occasion. He brought his scriptures and we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple to take pictures. He's such a special boy. He's a great helper at home and so kind!

And then he went with me to Harmons to buy milk since I desperately needed some and it was the one chance to go without my boys.

I'm super excited because I'm doing the same thing with his brother this weekend. Pictures that is, not buying milk :)
