School - 24th of July - Fillmore

This Sunday Jared took the opportunity to give the three little monkies fathers blessings in preparation for the new school year. This was a wonderful "pinch" me moment. Honestly, I have three kids leaving the home, and going out there to stand on their own. So thankful for Jared to be willing to teach and use the Priesthood to bless our family.  I cried through them all. They were so sweet and the Spirit was strong. I am so thankful for these "pinch" me moments. We are living life, setting examples and I love my childrens acceptance and desire for them.

Benjamin trying out the car for the first time.

His cute little man face.

 Look at all that hair! He's honestly so adorable.

Caleb welcoming him to being a BIG boy and riding in his car! If you look closely you can see Calebs face, he's honestly so EXCITED Ben can play with his toys! I love Ben's face, like "Why are you screaming at me?"

First Annual 24th of July Fillmore Fun Family Reunion.

We did a lot of swimming...

 

Oh, how we love this happy face.

And this one too.

And this silly one.

And these too.

And these guys too.

This is the story of Alayna's life...nervousness and anxiety about everything! Oh, if she can learn to relax a little and enjoy life experiences! We tried to have her go off this small diving board...she would stand for it. So I showed her how to do it.

Looking nervous, but it was really a small one. But still fun.

Ahhh. I did it.

Here I am treading water in 11 feet water...a litter scary. I'm just waiting for Alayna to brave up and go.

Nope it required Aunt Shany to help toss her gently in.

Then there was Jake. Yes this is Jake. Diving into the pool with all the excitement life has to offer. He started off first by having me catch him. Then me on the side while he swam to me at the edge of the pool, to doing this...tricks all on his own. He is outstanding and so brave!

More fun to come...
