Brayden figured out how to roll his tongue after seeing me roll my tongue. He started rolling his tongue just before he turned 2. These pics were taking in May while Lauren was in her gymnastics class.

Alli's Baptism ~ June 24

 Alli was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on June 24, 2012 by her dad. This was an extra special day because it was also Alli's birthday. Alli had lots of friends come and support her on this special day. Her uncle Chris was also able to be there. Chris gave the talk on baptism, and Megan gave the talk on the Holy Ghost. 

My friend Sharon took these amazing pictures of Alli in her white dress. I love them!

Camp McDowell are 3 day adventure!

The Girls in the cabin aka the Gray Squirrels

Day #1 Class: Survival & Maps- While on our hike we stopped and learned about shelters, than each team had to make a shelter for a gnome. After the shelter building experience they were broken into 2 teams and went on a map scavenger hunt.

Day 2-Morning class: Coal mining and Reclamation- Went across the swinging bridge and then hiked to a water fall and saw where the land had been reclaimed after coal mining.

Mining for chocolate using a toothpick, then putting the cookie back together after removing all the chocolate.

Afternoon Class: Native Americans

Megan getting her face painted to represent the sun because she was cheerful and made others happy.

Day 3: Stream and Pond- Megan loved catching things in the stream and pond and then observing them in the container afterwards.

Megan had a great time at Camp McDowell and was sad to leave. We also had 2 night classes which where Pioneers where she dipped a candle, sawed a log, and learned to make yarn into a bracelet. The other class was Birds and Snakes where Megan got to pet an owl and hold a snake.

Braces on Leap Day

Megan has been counting down the days until she got her braces and the day finally came on leap day. She also had to get head gear, but she only wears that at night.

Symphony

Last Saturday was family day at the Symphony, so James took the kiddos (while I was on the youth temple trip) The girls said they had fun. Lauren said her favorite thing was playing the xylophone.
