We have had a crazy summer and now it is over.  It is really sad.  I wasn't quite ready for school, but here we go.  Kaleb got baptized last Saturday.  It was so special.  He was so excited and so composed for the baptism and confirmation.  We had great family support and appreciate all those who traveled so far.  It is kind of hard to watch your children grow up and change from little kids to big kids.  We can't stop it so I guess we just have to hang on for the ride.

Kaleb learned how to swim this summer while we were in Utah.  He was jumping off the diving board and sliding down the slide.  It was really awesome to see him accomplish this feat.  Kayden was jumping off cliffs at Barton cove with a life jacket.  He is so brave and daring.  I hope he will always use common sense.  Cooper was kicking in the pool, hanging on to mom and putting his face in the water and blowing bubbles.  He was really proud of himself.  Colton got a staff infection from the water so he stayed out of the pool.  He didn't care all that much about the water, except to throw things in the pool.

Kaleb got a skateboard for his birthday.  Today after school, Kaleb and Kayden asked me to come outside and watch them do a trick.  Kaleb laid down on his stomach on the skateboard and then Kayden laid down on him.  They started going down our semi-steep driveway heads first.  I got really nervous and wanted to run and stop them, but I took a deep breath and let them go.  They made it safely down the driveway and were laughing all the way up.  I told them I thought it was dangerous and they told me they had done it lots of times.  I hope I survive four boys.
