A blog about Kyle and Rebecca's family
While Grandpa was giving kids convertible rides, and Kyle kept the ones not with Grandpa occupied, Mom helped me get the sponge painting done in the girls room.
I don’t know what is up with the lighting in that photo. Here are some pictures that better show the color of their room.
Grandpa rented a car for the time that they would spending in town with us. When he went to pick up the rental, that he had reserved and prepaid for, he was told that they didn’t have one to rent him. After pointing out that he had prepaid for this rental they looked into it and decided that they could give him a convertible at no extra charge. So he got to rent a convertible. The kids thought it was so awesome and Grandpa decided to take the kids for rides in the convertible to go get ice cream.
Dinah was baptized this morning! She was so excited. We even got to the church a bit early.
Dinah was excited to get to share her baptism with her friend Lindsey.
During the program one of Lindsey’s family members gave the talk on baptism and it felt like they were talking directly to Lindsey and only Lindsey. After the baptism itself, Grandpa gave the talk on the Holy Ghost and he brought both Dinah and Lindsey up to the front and talked to both of them, as well as for everyone else. We finished the program with Wendy giving the prayer.
After the baptism was over and we were done taking pictures at the church we went out to the cars to come home. But some of the kids got distracted by the car that Grandpa was driving.
When we did get them all home we celebrated Dinah’s birthday with a cake.
And we took some more pictures. 🙂
We finished getting the Halloween tree all decorated today! Just in time for the crazy weekend we have ahead of us. 😀
Ethan started working on the Fire Safety merit badge at a merit badge pow wow last month, and we have been working on finishing up the requirements so we could get it signed off. The only problem is that there were two counselors that taught the class, one each week, and neither one of them signed off on a blue card the things that they worked on with Ethan at the pow wow. So we made contact with the first counselor to make an appointment for him to sign off the things he did with Ethan. He happens to be a firefighter that works at the Spanish Fork fire station and he asked Ethan to meet him at an open house that the fire station was putting on.
We decided to take the whole family to the open house. While Ethan talked to the counselor, we took the kids to follow another firefighter around so all the other kids could see the different fire trucks.
I’m sure every little boy dreams of driving a big fire truck. Adam was SO excited.
Here Adam is trying to tell us the sound that the fire truck was making, with his hands…
Dinah in the driver’s seat:
Kyle put Adam on this little shelf on the outside of the firetruck. Adam thought it was pretty funny.
When Ethan met back up with us, he announced that the counselor signed off on the merit badge for him! 🙂
