Kyle turned 8 in March. That is a big birthday in our family, when you turn 8 you get to be baptized a member of our church (LDS). Because my parents are out on a mission we got to have him baptized in the sweet water river (this is the river the pioneers crossed many times on their trek to Utah) It has a lot of meaning and we felt it would be special if he wanted to get baptized there, of course he did. It is still very cold in Wyoming in April but we didn't want to put it off to long so we headed out there. It was cold the whole weekend and there was even snow on the ground but not once did Kyle complain or ask if he had to do it. He was so brave and courageous and even though it was in the 30's with a wind chill of below that he was still baptized. It was an amazing experience for our whole family, one we will never forget. Kyle is such an amazing boy, he is such a natural leader, he loves his 5 girls, and his Dad, he excel's in school and sports. He is thoughtful and kind and he is very sensitive of me. I love him so much and I feel so blessed to have him in our family.
I think it was around 38 degree's outside with the wind was blowing so so hard you can see it from Joe's tie. It was cold.

Martin's Cove
The kids love the mule, this is how my parents get around at the Cove. We of course took it for a spin.
Monuments of the rescuers who came to aid the pioneers in their time of need. They have monuments there to honor them.
