Beach Time

Our niece Breanna recently celebrated her 8th birthday.  In just a few more weeks, another niece Sarah will celebrate her 8th birthday as well.  We are so proud of both of them because they both have decided to be baptized and make a covenant with Heavenly Father to keep his commandments.  It is such a wonderful thing to see two beautiful young ladies make such an important choice on their road to happiness in life.

In honor of Breanna’s birthday, we spent some time at the beach.  Can you tell that Mandy is just a little excited to get to the water?

And Layton loves everything about it.

And even going under…

And let’s not forget Dallin.  When we first got there, he had to sit on the sand and just watch the fun for a few minutes because he got in trouble for pestering Mandy.

But we finally let him get up and then he had a blast!

I love this picture because it looks like he’s walking on water:

And even though Mandy was having a great time, she did eventually get tired of me taking pictures.  Man that girl has some attitude:

All in all it was a great day!

  1. In the first picture of Layton I was wondering what was right behind him. Then I realized its just Nathan's hairy legs! :) Maybe I'll do the beach for my birthday.

  2. Mandy's hair is so beautiful. It is hard to remember that she was practically bald with thin little wispy fuzz. I never imagined she would have this glorious mane on her head.

  4. Came over from Luisa's. Dang you have cute kids! That last picture is priceless. It's nice to have pictures that aren't just cheesy grins, you know? Actually capture a larger range of who our kids are.
