It's Great to be Eight!

Well, none of us can believe it, but Brock is now eight. This is a big birthday for him, so we decided to go all out. We took him to Trafalga in Provo the weekend before for some miniature golfing and pizza. Then on his birthday we went out to Wingers for dinner and then came home to open presents. We were so full from the dinner and free Asphalt Pie at Wingers, that we sang and blew out the candles on his cake, but didn't even cut into it until the next evening. We tried to center all of our gifts around being eight. Here are a few shots:

Scout Uniform

Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites Series

His own scriptures (He was the most excited about these)

And, thankfully, the Grandparents supplied him with the toys.

He's in major Lego mode, so thanks Grandparents.

The next week was Brock's first official Den Meeting. He looks so cute in his Cub Scout Uniform! Oh - I mean "handsome", I'm not allowed to say 'cute' anymore.

Then, of course, came the biggest day of all. On October 10th, Brock was baptized and confirmed by his Dad. It was such a fun day, and we appreciate all those who came to support us, and we missed the ones that weren't able to be there.

Now for his birthday party with his friends this weekend. It's been a fun few weeks!

Gymnastics

Here are some pictures of Tyler's first day of gymnastics. He loves getting to run around and do somersaults, but most of all, he loves to swing on the uneven bars. He's not afraid of anything, except for sometimes the teachers. But that's Tyler for you. No fear - other than people, of course.

Rainbows

My boys came running into the house one evening to tell me about this:

It was, hands down, the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen. And it was a double rainbow. The pictures don't even do it justice. You could see every individual color.
