A Boyer Baptism

A few weeks ago, we took an unexpected trip to Idaho. Our awesome nephew, Jordan, let us know that he had been taking the missionary discussions and had decided to get baptized! We were so happy for him and knew that we wanted to be there for his big day. Jordy was around Bekah's age when we got married (which makes him almost 15 now!!!!) and we have always loved him sumthin' fierce! It was a great baptism and we were so happy that we could attend. It was nice to see some of the Boyers...we hadn't seen some of them since Joe's mom's funeral three years ago! Jordy was confirmed on the three year anniversary of her death, and we know she must have been so happy up there in heaven. "Total Awesome!" she would have said. :)

We were running a tad bit late for the baptism and since I was playing the piano (oops), I missed getting any photos at the church! I don't have any shots of Cindy and Brent and most of their kids. The worst part is that I don't seem to even have a single shot of Jordan, lol. Oh man. We love you anyway, Jordy. :)

We stayed at my sister Em's house. Unfortunately, it was the weekend of the Burton family camping trip, so my parents and siblings were all out of town, lol. We just took advantage of them and stayed at their place anyway. :)

Bekars was EXCITED to see her cousins!

Hannah was worried about the length of the trip

After we arrived at the Richards empty house, Joe did fly duty. Catching those little buggers on Em's big windows was a challenge that the kids LOVED. :)

We're taking over the house, lol! It was kind of weird to stay there without the Richards. :)

It was fun to see Dan and Steph after three years! They look just the same...only Joe and I have gotten older it seems. :)

What a good lookin' couple!

Cameron (aka Bubba), Cindy's #5. Aren't those freckles just delicious?

Dawn got out the water for the kids after the baptism. She even let our girls borrow clothes (since we were still in our church stuff). Emma was very tentative at first, but finally caught on to the fun

Steph acts as Connor (Dawn's littlest guy)'s chauffeur

Cindy's little Brooklyn was Bekah's special friend

Sweet Ashley is turning 13 (and seems to be a tad camera shy). I was there for Ash's birth and it scared the pants off of me, lol!

Cute girl cousins (Isabelle, Emma, Lizzie, Brooklyn, and Bekah)
