Dexter's Big Day

Today Dexter was ordained a deacon. We are so excited for him. I wish I could take a video camera to church to video tape him passing the sacrament. It's fun to watch the whole ward help him remember where to go. He tries to hard and he does a really great job.


p.s. He thinks he looks REALLY HOT in his suit. I agree.

Quinn took me on another trip with him. This time we stayed in Connecticut. This place was the highlight. Louis Lunch is the birth place of the American hamburger. This place has been featured on numerous documentaries. It's pretty cool, but don't try to add anything on your burger other than tomato and onion,you also need to speak up if you don't want your burger medium rare. Yuck! And yes, this is how Quinn spends most of his time on trips. It was fun though, I am very grateful for RedBox and frequent flyer miles.

Happy Birthday Dex!

Dexter turned 12 today! He wanted to have his favorite dutch oven cake for his birthday. I happily obliged,however it never dawned on me to let it cool BEFORE I put the candles on. Did you know that even the giant number candles will melt into a cake? I do now...

Hangin' Out

Rex changed his mind about hanging from the tree the second Quinn let go. Can you tell?

Max's first airplane ride.

After waiting 1 long year, Max finally got to go on his trip with his Daddy! They spent Labor Day weekend in Chicago. Max flew there all by himself. It was a little nerve racking to put him on a plane alone, but Max had a great flight and he loved everything in Chicago.
