Devin's Baptism




We had a big even in our family last week.  Devin turned 8 on July 2 and he was baptized a member of the LDS church.  He was so excited and has been glowing all week.  As you can see in the picture Brynlee is so proud of her big brother and was especially excited for him on that day.  We have had a great week spending time with family and friends and enjoying the summer.





Look at me guys, missing my two front teeth for my baptism day.  Devin lost both front teeth in the past few weeks and was so cute the day of his baptism with no teeth.

Skooter Here I Come!


Okay, here is the deal. Kristin and I have been complaining now for some time about this high gas price garbage. So after much thought and discussion we are throwing down and going to skoot. I am going to skoot to work during the warm months because it hit me last week when I filled up and the ticker hit $95 at the pump that, "man I could have a skooter paid off by the end of the summer for how much it costs to fill up the truck." So, with "SAFETY" being the the biggest concern (yes I am going to buy a helmet as well) we are going to buy a skooter. Above is the exact model we are buying except this years model with a few new modifications. I am going with Black and Silver because I don't want to look like the teenie bopper/college fad cruising down the street in a shiny red or blue or purple gizmo. So wish me safety and good riding. Unfortunately I couldn't talk Kristin into a Harley but this is the next best thing, right? NOT! Oh well since this one only goes 55mph maybe I won't be tempted by high speeds. I do commute a total of 8-9 miles each way to work so this will help a bunch on gas. Instead of spending $100 every two weeks to fill up, now it will cost me $4.00. Should be fun, we will see. I will let ya'll know how it goes when it ships in a couple of weeks.
