Alayna's Birthday

Alayna turned 6 this year. She is going into 1st grade. She loves to play babies with her big sister, loves treats of any kind and loves helping in the kitchen when mom cooks and bakes. She is the youngest and knows it and uses it to her advantage sometimes :)

Had a little family party. She got a lot of col stuff. A new bike, "american girl doll" in her words but a doll, stepping stone craft, a new backpack and purse refill.

 Their reaction to her new bike when it came in the house.

 The cake she picked and we served it with ice cream.

 She chose to have her birthday dinner at Red Robin. I think all the kids enjoyed her sundae.

Happy Birthday, Alayna! 

You are a joy to our family and keep us laughing!

Utah Trip

A high school buddy of Josh's who lives in Texas currently but with him being in the military has been in many places was coming to utah for a family event and asked if our family would come down and spend a day with them. We met up with their family at the Hoogle Zoo in Salt Lake City.

We then went to the Gateway to cool off by playing in their water fountain.

 Then we went up the mountain and found a park we could eat lunch at and check out the view. It was just up the street from their capital building.

Then we went down to Temple Square to see the new church movies from Meet the Mormons. We were in the first viewing of the new films and it was packed but super fun.

 Always an adventure! We then headed over to the City Creek Center because the girls insisted we go to the Disney store...

!!! DISNEY STORE!!!! 

The girls were ecstatic and in heaven in this store.

Our hotel happened to be pretty close to several other temples so we took a drive. The Jordan River temple was currently closed for renovations but was still beautiful. The Oquirrh Mountain Temple was our final stop on our quick getaway to visit friends!

We love going on adventures and not having an agenda when we travel.

 We always find fun things to do and people we know :) Until next time Baker Clan!

Scout Camp 2016

July 18-22   Age 12

Another year, a new troop, new friends, new leaders!

Here is a fun link of their scout camp skit.

Camp Skit

I helped him pack the stuff he needed for scout camp. These pictures are from those who attended camp and the leaders and I now have proof he at least changed his clothes once :) I tease him about it because he packed several days worth. He had a great time, got super dirty, and his pack smelled to high heavens when he got home. Success!
