Duce's Baptism

Duce had his baptism this weekend. My parents and brother, Daniel, were in town for the football game. Both Daniel and my mom gave a talk. It was very short and very simple, but VERY wonderful. I can't believe Duce is 8! I remember when it was just him and me at home in our little Tooele apartment! We are quite proud of him.

trip to OHIO

Since Tyler and Jordan are completely tied up with football camp, Shanda and I took the chance to go to OHIO to see Leah and meet our newest niece, Margaret (MARGE).

It is an 8 hour car ride. Lots of snacks (and bathroom breaks) Too bad 45 minutes into our return trip, the DVD player quit working. ARG!

We got babysitters and went out! We did a little bit of shopping, eating and then hit up the movies.

We saw "THE PROPOSAL". It was quite funny! (see Margaret "peekaboo-ing")

Shanda and I took the kids to the TOLEDO Zoo.

The polar bears were THE BEST part! (the rest, not so much....SO HOT!)

My kids are so jaded to zebras and water buffaloes, since my parents have some at their house down in FL. They had NO interest at looking at the "Serengeti" to try and find the zebras. And all Tee wanted to do the WHOLE trip was ride in the wagon and drink the diet coke. (ah, that's my boy!)

One night, Grandma and Shanda made sushi. YUM! I'm not normally a sushi lover but for some reason, these were DELIGHTFUL!
(and a little peanut butter pie for breakfast...yum!)

And then there was OF COURSE, the main reason we went to visit the Ward's...baby Margaret

ISN'T SHE DARLING?

Thanks Wards for letting us invade your house for a week and mom for the day trips/dinners/movie!! With us and Grandma Munns, we were quite the full house. Until next time.....!

Those of you who know Tee, know crying is what he does best. This is what was happening on the floor of the kitchen this afternoon.

And do you want to know WHY this fit was happening....it is because he couldn't get this pretty yellow dress up shoe on the way he wanted!
