Jake's 5th Birthday

Jake turned 5 August 9th. I am a tad late on posting this, but better late than never....right. We all had a wonderful time. The photos tell it all.

Yes, my baby is 5. Classic photo because he always has a band aid on.



Here are his best buddies!!!

It was so nice to have Dana there. She took most of the photos.
Thanks Dana, we love you!!



Nanner and Poppa were there to enjoy Jake's birthday...even though it was really David's birthday that day.



Opening presents.



Tammy and I....we grew up together in Moses Lake. Now our boys and
best buds....how cool is that.



Scott and I with Jake.



We did have the firetruck there. Jake was so excited. It was so great to have everyone there to help celebrate Jake's big day.



I love this shot, you can see Jason driving the truck so well. He's our great friend who hooked us up with the firetruck.



Our little fam.



Look how small Dallin is next to the tire.



Happy Birthday David. We celebrated Jake's birthday a day early and it was really Poppa David's birthday. We love you.

Boating and Bikes

We had a family night with the Shubins back in August and we all had a blast. Jake even attemped to water ski with the U ski. He was a champ. Thanks Shubins for all the great times with you guys this summer. It's been amazing.

Jake was so excited to try skiing.

He's getting instruction from Clay.

He didn't get up the first time.

He's still smiling at this point and tried it again, but got a little scared the 2nd time.

Doesn't his face looks so sad....this was after he tried the second time. I'm so proud of him for trying. Way to go Jake!!!


Just a day out with the boys while we were watching Jordan and Kate. It's always a fun time when family and bikes are involved!!


Jordan and Dallin sharing dandelions.

Kate 'riding' the scooter with her little blankie in tow.

Jake enjoying a ride.

Layton is outta control on his bike....but in control.

He LOVES riding.

High Adventure

Back in July when Scott was still in the Young Men's, he took the Teacher's on a High Adventure backpacking trip. He had a wonderful time. He really misses working with those boys.

Here they are getting their packs on at the cars.



One the hike up.



Beautiful Scenery.



Here's camp and all the guys with a few Dads.



Conner's big catch.



Scott took the boys on a hike straight up this mountain. There was no trail so they had to blaze their own. Here's a shot of Scott at the top.



The Beauty of the Earth!!



Scott and Jason Karren....good buds.



Scott and Jackson Shubin....great kid.



Jason getting close to the edge...amazing view.



Jason and his son Hayden.

All the boys close to the edge....it was a far drop.
