Jordan's baptism & Fishlake weekend

It was Jordan's birthday on the 5th of August. She will always remember her baptism date because she was baptized on her birthday. She had a good turn out of support from the Memmott's, the Johnson's and the Christensen's. She was baptized in Venice (the stake center for Richfield) by her dad. After the baptism we drove over to Salina for some good Mexican food, and then over to Sean and Amy's to see all the work they have been putting into the yard. Everything looked great and the kids had a fun time playing on the trampoline and the swings.

Jordan celebrated her birthday back over in Richfield at Grandpa Memmotts house with some gifts and brownies, and then most of us headed up to the mountains to spend a couple days at Fishlake.

The three four-year olds

We enjoyed six days at the cabin. It was a full house, but everyone played so well together. Kyle was there for a couple of days, but then he had to go back to Mesquite for work. The three Merayo girls stayed up and played with their cousins. We had fun down at Bowery for dinner as well as playing at the pier. The kiddos brought their bikes, but the the rock pond behind the cabin was the attraction. The kids played in the pond everyday. There were multiple changes of clothes especially for the two littlest ones.

On Tuesday we made our annual trip over to Capital Reef for a picnic. I can say annual because we did it last year when the Memmott's came up. Margi and Dylan joined us this year and we had a great time.

I am amazed how fast our time went by. Mom and Dad did great with all the noise. The girls had fun with Tina and the beauty parlor... five girls hair to do... everyday. The weather was perfect and the bugs weren't too bad. We missed having Brigo there because he's the BEST smore maker around. A big thank you to Mom and Dad for letting us come and be messy for a week.

I can't believe Jordan is 8! Obviously, I'm in denial that Kennedy will be 8 in three more months. Kennedy still talks about her friend, Jordan from Mesquite. Miss you guys.
