Bakers Visit

We have great friends the Bakers, from Ohio, who had the opportunity to come to Utah for conference, a couple of weekends ago. And while they were in town came to visit us. It was so fun to see them. We really have missed their family. I told my boys that they were coming and the week before they came everyday Tanner would ask if that was the day they were coming. They were so glad to see them. They all consider Johnny as their personal toy. Tanner on more than one occation called them his Bakers. Johnny, Margot, and Beth with Ellie.
Rebeckah, Margot, and Pres. Baker.
The Bakers were our family while we lived in Ohio and never missed one of the boys birthday parties even though we have 2 that are two days apart. Since we were gone this year they missed all the birthdays and so made up for it when they came by bringing presents for the boys and Ellie.

The boys were so happy to see them. Tanner gave Margot the biggest hug, and cried when they took Johnny to the airport and left him here. He also tried to convice Margot that she needed to stay with us, she had a bed in his room she could use. We were all very glad to see them, and hope they make it back again. Thanks for the visit!

Soccer 2008

Devin and Hayden played soccer again this year and had a great time. There was only 5 kids on the team, and only 4 played at a time. So it was a little different than we were used to, but because there were so few players they got to kick the ball more often, make more goals and felt that they were important players on their team.

Driving

Every kid needs an Uncle like James. While I was gone he took the boys out into the horse pasture and let my 6 and 7 year olds drive his car. They were in heaven and now think that they know how to drive. At least it was his car they were driving.

Riding Horses

We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Lewis, and from the moment we arrived till the time we left Devin asks to go on a horse back ride with grandpa. At least once while we are there they saddle up the horses and take him. So here are pictures of our last visit.
