Brayden's 8th Birthday

Brayden turned eight this year! I still can't believe it but there comes a time everyone has to let kids grow up! He is certainly growing up but I still call him my baby!
I wanted to do something special for him so the night before his birthday Josh and I blew up 70 balloons to put in the kids bedroom! I hung them from the ceiling, on the walls, and covered their bedroom floor all while they were sleeping! The next morning he got up and told me he was so surprised. He asked me who did it and Kaytlin quickly piped up that it was probably Santa Claus and Brayden said No he is for Christmas. It was so cute!


We celebrated his birthday at Freeman Park on Monday July 9th 2012 with family! I made dirt cake which was yummy that got ate right up! The kids all wanted a worm! 







He also got to do some pretty fun things this week! With turning 8 he was invited to join Cub Scouts! He went to his first Cub Scout meeting on Wednesday and was thrilled to find out they are going fishing in a few weeks!

Also he was invited to throw the first pitch at the Idaho Falls Chuckar's baseball game last night for participating in the library summer reading program! He was thrilled!


He was certainly good luck because we WON 5-0!
Happy Birthday Buddy!

Fun & Family
Memories that we hold dear and will treasure for a lifetime!
Alayna is growing by leaps and bounds! She wears the same size clothes and shoes as Kaytlin, sleeps in a big girl bed, and isn't to far off from being potty trained!

Kaytlin is so full of energy and drama!

Brayden is a huge helper and just loves to stay busy! He loves to read, and play!


As a family we have so much fun!
We love to go to different parks and play (we have lots of them)! We went to Utah and played with Anthony, Mandy, and Mason on a playground on a church property (I haven't ever seen one like it) while the guys played softball!
We love Ice Cream! Especially at Reed's Dairy!
We also bought a season pass to Rigby Lake this year because we go alot!
The first day we went it was empty and the water was cold but the sand was fun!
We went to the circus and saw some pretty amazing things!

We also celebrated the life of our dear Grandpa, Charles Doman!
He was a very special man to our family who taught Josh so many valuable lessons about life! 
Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, Charles DeVere Doman, 83, returned to his Father in Heaven on Monday, June 4, 2012, at The Gables of Shelley, with his wife of 64 years, Faye, by his side. Charles had been ill with Alzheimer’s Disease for several years and had been lovingly cared for by his family and the staff at The Gables of Shelley.

Charles was born December 9, 1928, in Parma, Idaho, the son of Vernal DeVere Doman and Bertha Mae Sayre Doman. He spent his early years in Idaho and Wyoming, and graduated from Council High School.

On January 24, 1948, he married Faye Dona Murdock in Paris, Idaho. Their marriage was solemnized in the Logan, Utah LDS Temple on August 2, 1956. Charles and Faye made their home in Pocatello and Montpelier, where they raised their five children, Alan, Sandra, Sara, Karen, and Kathy. Charles worked as a brakeman and conductor for Union Pacific Railroad until his retirement in 1991. Following his retirement they moved to Idaho Falls, where they have lived for 19 years.

An active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Charles served in two Bishoprics, as Ward Mission Leader, Stake Missionary, and in various other capacities over the years. He was firm in his faith and was a faithful servant of Jesus Christ. A jack-of-all-trades, Charles loved tinkering with things, especially cars and carpentry. He was a hard worker and could fix nearly anything. He enjoyed playing games with his ‘Doman Rules,’ reading, playing the accordion, and camping. His family was his life and he loved spending time with them.

Charles is survived by his wife, Faye,
Son, Alan (Willa) Doman of Elko, NV;
Daughter, Sandra (Wayne) Hanson of Ovid, ID,
Daughter, Sara (Terry) Dawson of Idaho Falls, ID,
Daughter, Karen Landis of Fort Myers, FL,
Daughter, Kathy Marcum of Idaho Falls, ID;
Brother, Rufus (Donna) Doman of Montpelier, ID;
29 grandchildren and 76 great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Ross Doman, a grandson, Matthew Doman, and infant twin grandsons.

Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Monday, June 11, 2012, at the Shelley LDS 3rd Ward, 513 South Park. The family will visit with friends from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Wood Funeral Home, 273 North Ridge Avenue, Idaho Falls, and from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. Monday at the church. Burial will be in the Pocatello-Restlawn Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Missionary or Humanitarian Funds, through LDS Philanthropies, 15 East South Temple, 2nd Floor East, Salt Lake City, UT 84150, or online at

At his furneral we saw many family we haven't seen in awhile and Kaytlin found a Best Friend! They did everything together the whole day!



Have a Fabulous Summer!
