4th of July/Jason's Baptism

This was a very full day. We started the day at the ward pancake feed. They had the flag ceremony and after breakfast lowered the flag and retired it and then raised the new flag.

Retiring the flag.

JASON'S BAPTISM
Another milestone. Jason was baptized today.


When Jeff confirmed him on Sunday he was given an incredible blessing. There is something really special about this boy.
After his baptism we had a Bar-B-Que. Grandpa and Grandma Whittle came. It was such a nice evening we pulled all the chairs outside and enjoyed the summer evening.
They moved the fireworks show from the Park to the High School. From the time we got home (around 7) and for about 2 hours there was a steady stream of cars and people going by the house. The football field is just a hop and a skip from the house.


Brenda was sick all day and spent all her time laying down.
When it got dark enough I took the kids (except Brenda - Jeff stayed home with her.) and we walked down and enjoyed the fireworks. Jeff said they could see some of it from the house.




HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Congratulations Jason! What a special event in his life. Hopefully he'll be able to remember the things said in his blessing.

Looks like you guys have been busy with many other things this summer and we're only halfway through! I love the pictures of the green pine trees... We sure do miss Spokane but love the mountains and family in Utah.

Hope you have lots more fun the rest of the summer!
