Peyton's Baptism

Peyton got baptized on Aug. 21, 2009. It was a really nice day. Shane baptized and confirmed him. Grandpa Kjar gave a talk on baptism about the 3 "bears". He did a great job! Afterwards we had everyone back to our house for subway sandwiches and a lot of yummy food! Peyton-we are so proud of the young man you are becoming. You are sweet, sensitive, loving, smart, caring, and an all around good boy! We can already see your budding testimony and hope you remember what a neat day your baptism was. We love you so much!!!
(just a funny side note: Peyton got baptised the same day as Savannah Smyly. We kept telling them to scoot closer to each other to get their pictures taken. They would NOT get close to each other-it was really cute and funny.)






Here are our family pictures we just had taken. I cannot wait to get the enlargements back!






Summer catch-up part 2

Just a quick catch-up of what we've been up to this past summer....I swear I will be caught up this week! One day I put Sadie in front of the TV to watch Baby Einstein while I got in the shower. She was not crawling yet, so I felt pretty safe putting her on the floor. As I was getting out of the shower I heard her wimper a bit like she was starting to cry, but I could tell she was still ok. So while I was hurrying to put some clothes on she stopped crying. When I got out to the family room, this is what I saw. She was in the middle splits ASLEEP! I felt so bad, but had to grab my camera quick! I still laugh when I look at this.

We went to see the 24th of July floats at the Sandy Expo
Little missy miss, just after her bath......what a sweetie!
Look at all that hair!
   Sadie loves bath time!
Peyton turned 8 this past August and is now in cub scouts-he loves it. I think he looks so handsome in his uniform!
Peyton got to go to cub scout day camp in July since he was only 2 weeks away from turning 8. Shane went up with him that day. Peyton loved it!

In July we went to Colorado to visit the Grapers (Shane's sister and her family). They were great hosts! We had  such a fun time with them. They have boys (Kole and Braydon) that are about the same age as Peyton and Connor. Kimi and I had a blast going shopping, to the pool, and just hanging out. I wish we lived closer! They took us (along with Sadie) to The White Chocolate Grill one night while we had a babysitter for the boys. It was soooooo good. I can't wait to go back!


This was at the Denver Children's Museum. Shane is so cute! I love him.

Summer Catch-up Part I

Kjar Family Pictures-2009

We did some cute family pictures over the 4th of July this year. We took them ourselves and I think they turned out pretty cute!! A good camera makes a huge difference-thanks Kim!! I am hoping for a Cannon Rebel for Christmas. I think I am in love.

Cecret Lake

We took a hike with the Burke's in July up to Cecret Lake. It was not the greatest weather during our hike, but we were prepared with poncho's and raincoats. We took a picnic lunch up with us and had so much fun. The boys loved hiking with the Burke kids and didn't mind the rain at all. I was surprised that there was still some snow up there in July! Sadie loved riding in the backpack and fell asleep on the way down. She is such a sweetie! We had to cross a small stream a couple of times on the hike and we told the kids to be really careful and not fall in. Most of the time we carried them across. Guess who ended up with a soggy foot? ME! The water was freezing! We did have a really good time and are excited to find some other small hikes we can do together.
