James, Daniel and I went to Aumsville and picked up Emma. We wanted to go for a hike at Silver Falls. It is an amazing hike through a rain forest with beautiful waterfalls. I took my GoPro and made a video.
Every young man needs a sword
Walker ordered a knife online from a company and they started sending catalogs. James loves getting the catalogs and looking at all the knives. James has ordered from the company and is on their mailing list.
The other day James got a new catalog in the mail. He pours over the pages and looks at everything in the catalog. In the latest catalog there was a replica US cavalry sword. He has wanted a sword since we went to Master of Influence. Kirk Duncan said that every young man needs a sword as a symbol of his manhood.
He decided to order the sword with his birthday money. The day came for the sword to arrive via ups.
He climbed the highest thing he could to watch for ups.
He was so excited to get it.
He has ran to show it to everyone he knows.
Someone New at Our House
Before Samantha arrived we had been looking at picture ideas for the kids and the family. I loved the ones done like this and I really appreciate everyone who helped to pull it off while I was in bed. I LOVE IT!
Getting the baby ready for church
As we were getting ready for church. James said that he would help get Alyxibeth ready for church. We could hear James chasing Alyxibeth through the house and saying “hold still! Come back here!” I think James got an education on dressing a toddler.
Fun with photo grid
I am waiting here at the church for the girls to be done with their activity. I was playing with photo grid and I made this picture.
