Scott's Baptism

My little Scotty is 8... So crazy!!  
We had a really wonderful day with him!! The program was so nice!  Josh and Debbie both gave talks.  Aspen sang a song with her voice teacher Mandi Sittler, it was so pretty! Matt baptized him, and my Dad and Russ were the witnesses.
We had all our family that came to support him!  Such a blessing to live close to family!
Even his great Grandma's came!  Grandma Jeanne and Grandma Gowans.  These two are adorable!  My Grandma Jeanne has dementia and doesn't remember much anymore but she remembers her good friend Doreen (my Grandma Gowans) and is always very comfortable at family get togethers if she is there.  They've been neighbors for probably 50 years.
We're missing a few kids in this picture but sometimes you just take what you can get.  Chase was trying to look grumpy in this picture.  I would say he nailed it!!
Chase pretty much went for grumpy in every picture... that's kinda annoying!
I couldn't believe Iris could sleep through all the chaos, but she was out!!

Welcome Home Ryan!!

Ryan is finally home!!  Luckily the kids had the day Ryan got home off of school so we could all meet him at the airport.  It was really great to see him.  We were all kinda emotional!  
Cooper loved chatting with all the soldiers while we were waiting!  There were so many people from his work that wanted to be there to welcome him home.  It was really neat!
Look how cute Zadek is, just dying to see his Dad!
This is one happy/anxious family!
It was so great to see him with his kids! They were all so excited to see him!
Little Senedra grabbed on to him and didn't let go!  He held her during interviews and everything!  It was so sweet!
