Zachary's 8th Birthday

I brought ice-cream sandwiches for his group to enjoy at Camp Casita

Ryan carried him in his shoulders during practice so that everyone could see who the birthday boy was. Zachary felt so tall!!

14 kids in my backyard! With the help of Carey and her son Aussie, we had a balloon relay, running the balloon under your chin, and trying not to pop it.



Christian and Claire holding onto the balloon, and trying to not let it fall or pop!

The kids all got their own noodle and battled in the pool. They also had to watch our for our shark, Aussie who would try to knock them off.

Happy Birthday, Zachary!!

Zachary's Baptism, June 8, 2008

Zachary got baptized and his second cousin, Zachary was ordained a Deacon the same night




Carol Hartwig gave the talk on the Holy Ghost and had Zachary open a present which had a quilt she made. She said the "Holy Ghost is a comforter just like when you put a quilt around you."

Zachary's many Lunt, and Maclay cousins

Carey Hernandez came to her first LDS baptism. She said she was impressed.

Amanda played the intro music and played "When I am baptized" song and "Trying to be Like Jesus" Judi Stapley played "His Hands" after Zachary was baptized and my neice Heather Fauver (not pictured) sang. Kimberly Haig had a awesome slide show of many photos of Christ displayed, while Heather sang. Edwena Thacker, in pink, gave the Baptism talk and really emphasized how "Sacrament is no long a snack, but a real reflection about Christ we take every Sunday. Karina Fuller (not pictured), Zachary's Primary President gave him "A Faith in God" booklet and was so sweet in describing how important it is to follow it and how to accomplish goals.It was a wonderful night, and I'm thankful that we had many (over 100) cousins, friends and family, my brother David and wife Julie ( unfortunatley many I did not get a photo to post). I am especially thankful to Chandra Hansen( from our ward) and Vicki Maclay(first cousin) for all of their help with the food and clean-up, too.

I hope Zachary will always remember the special feeling that was present at his baptism.
