Warren's Baptism

We're so proud of Warren for choosing to be baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We had a special day with lots of family members. We did delay the baptism by a month because in April only 10 people could attend, but in May they let 20 come. They also let us Zoom the meeting so other family members could see who otherwise wouldn't be able to! Grandma and Grandpa Decker, Grandma Jenks, Amy, Sarah, Michael, Shari, and Jeni were all there with members of their families. It was such a wonderful day! I also took some pictures of Warren at the Bountiful temple, but unfortunately the gates were closed, so we did our best around the outside.

End of the School Year

Well, this school year definitely ended a little differently than expected with everything getting shut down in March. The kids did everything virtually and Barry was even home all the time. It stressed this mama out, but we made it. Quinton and Clara often used Zoom calls to communicate with their classes. Warren talked to his teacher about once a week. Sawyer's teacher made a video for each day walking them through assignments (what a lifesaver!). I guess finishing 6th grade in Utah is kind of a big deal and unfortunately, Quinton missed out on several activities, but his teachers still tried to help them feel special with signs and a "graduation" at school. Quinton also had a fun movie night outside at the Huff's.

 

Barry's Birthday

This handsome guy turned 37 this year! He had to complete an "Amazing Race" to get his presents. Some of the tasks were getting socks out of the tree with his new fruit picker, cutting fries with his new fry cutter, tossing rings for his new game, doing a fun hopscotch in his juaraches, and matching baby pictures of every family member to their favorite candy. It was fun and he did great! Then later we went to Echo reservoir just to explore and hang out. Miles got a little wet and ended up looking like a caveman, haha.

Miles Goes to the Dentist

Miles had his first official cleaning at the dentist. He did an amazing job sitting still for them!

 

Trip to Idaho

With all the Quarantine business, we were so excited to head to Idaho to see family for several days. We stayed with Grandma Decker and just enjoyed being with everyone. Barry and I went on a long run from her house to Krupp Scout Hollow and ran along the beautiful river. Miles made his own river in Grandma's back yard. We had a blast at the Bybee's house playing with their goats, exploring their property, and the playing with the hundreds of balloons they used to welcome Mackayla home. Grandma took the kids for rides in their ATV.

 

Mackayla Comes Home!

After 18 looong months, we finally got to see Mackayla again! She did a wonderful job serving a mission in Arizona. So happy to have her back!
