Playing Catch Up: SEPTEMBER 08

September was especially busy This year. Sam turned 12 on the 17th. Zwieba's Grandma Sarah and Aunt Tessie came to visit us and see our baby, Ben. We had an eventful couple of days and really enjoyed their visit.

Here Sam is in his Wrestling gear. He wrestled for Petaluma Jr. High in the 74lb weight class. He did pretty well for his first season of participating in a sport. We were very proud of him!

Sam also advanced to 2nd class in scouts. His Great Grandpa Ben sent this special neckerchief to Sam to wear at his advancements. This neckerchief commerates a reenactment of the Death March that Ben participated in.

Grandma Sarah met her 5th great grand child while she was here. Here she is holding our sweet Benjamin...

On Sunday, September 21'st, we blessed Ben and Sam recieved the Aronic Priesthood. Here is Zwieba and the boys after church in our front yard.

Ben was an angel in his little white outfit...

All of us together for a picture.

Eliza's 2nd Birthday

Hard to believe that she is two already! The time really does fly. We had a very busy day but we spent a few minutes celebrating with a "party".

Eliza was very afraid of the candles. Here she is wondering what is that thing on her cake...

I made Eliza a few birthday gifts this year. This is a dress I made her for church. I made it a bit big so she has some room to grow. It still needs snaps and ties. I also made her some felt food for her to play kitchen with. She is trying to figure out if she could eat it...LOL!

Here is a video of her refusing to blow out her candles, Enjoy!

Watering the front lawn... err, Daddy!

The many faces of Ben

Eat, Drink, and be Merry!!

Ooooh, Shiney thing!

Say what!!

S.O.S.

Why couldn't I have been an only child!?!

Airshow at Travis AFB

We went to the airshow at Travis AFB and got to watch a bunch of stunt planes and the Thunderbirds and walk through a bunch of giant planes. The weather was really hot and windy, but that wasn't the worst part. We watched the entire Nightmare Before Christmas movie while waiting to get out of the parking lot!! Any who, we had an awsome day at the airshow.

Sarah, Sam, and Adam in front of one of the show planes.
