What a wonderful day! Corbyn has been excited since June about her baptism in October. She is such a beautiful girl, inside and out! I can't believe she is already 8. She loves the scriptures and choosing the right. She tries so hard! We even made CTR cupcakes, of course I didn't get a picture beacuse we had a baptism, luncheon and two soccer games to attend. We are so blessed to have you in our lives, Corbyn. We love you!

Fun times - Conference Weekend (October)

What do you do on a cold Fall day? Go day camping of course, and don't forget the fishing. The weather was a bit unreliable so with G'ma, G'pa, Uncle Jeff and Aunt Peggy in town we decided to go fishing, but then postponed, due to snow and went to Cabela's for some indoor fun. The weather soon cleared and we were all off to Canyon Park for some good food and fishing fun. It was a little chilly but Eric & Calvin made us a fire to keep us warm and we had cocoa and smores to add to the heat. Dan & Angela were great company and we can't wait to go again. We really had a fun time with Uncle Jeff & Aunt Peggy since we don't get to see them all the time. And of course you can never go wrong with G'ma & G'pa. Fun times!


I added this clip because we all need a little laughter in our life!


So fun to spend some time with Uncle Jeff and Aunt Peggy after their mission. G'pa giving Corb a few fishing tips. Chloe's second Mom. Love your help! A little fishing fun! Well a lot of casting, but not much catching! But still fun! Benji really concentrating on catching that fish. The beautiful Fall canyon colors. Daddy and Little Missy all snuggled up. Two brothers swapping fish stories, no doubt. A little hot chocolate, smores, and a fire...what more do you need? Benji lovin' his roasted marshmellows!

Everyone loved the smores, so fun to enjoy the outdoors with the Jeff Elmers!
Even Chloe-Bo loves the smores or at least the graham crackers!

Corbyn's 8th Birthday - Outdoor Style!

Corbyn you are such a beautiful girl! Turning eight is such a big birthday! We love you so much and are proud of you for the choices you have made. We are so excited to spend this birthday with you, especially in the great outdoors! We had hotdogs, cake and ice cream, presents, climbing up mountains, one legged standing contests, our own fire, and lots of fun! Happy Birthday Sweetheart! My first ever outdoor themed cookie cake. I had to put two pictures because I was so glad the trees truned out, since Blue ate the first set I did, I was a little pressed for time. What a darling birthday girl! Aspen & Chlo-bo, I am so lucky to have good babysitters. Climbing the Mountain to the secret hideout! My little explorer! Everytime Chloe touched the dirt she wanted her hands wiped, but of course she still wanted to touch everything including gooey marshmellows! Daddy's little helper, looks like we have one more out door girl! The girls: Chloe, Aspen, Kenzie, Corbyn, Jordan, Kate, Paige, Sadie, Lexi, Amy, Annalise, and Natalie.
Aspen and Kenzie...Best Buds!
The soccer groupies: Rachel, Lexi, and Amy






Her most wanted present...we waited until the end of the night to give it to her!

A girl so excited about her last present she didn't even know was coming!
