Bobcat down....Wolf to go.

Last night was David jr.'s first offical Pack Meeting. He has loved being in scouts and has been working his little heart out to get things passed off. He was able to get his Bobcat patch last night and is so very excited about it. When we got home he's like,  "Okay Mom, how many more things do I need to do to get my Wolf patch." His goal is to get it by the next pack meeting. I told him he doesn't have to accomplish everything so quickly, but he's determined. He is close to receiving his gold arrowhead patch though. Just two more to sign off and he's passed his first ten. I can tell we're going to be very busy with this whole "scouting" thing all summer! :)

King and Queen of the "dirt pile".

Since having the top soil brought in, our kids have found it to be the best part of the yard.  Joshie and Khandi Kane have been spend the day out there. Rain or shine they're determined to play in the dirt!!!

I remember being a little girl and loving to play in the dirt piles that my dad had made. The adventures that awaited us...tunnels and dirt houses for various toys.  The kids have enjoyed pulling each other up and down the hill with the wagon. Sadly the wagon being old finally broke and no more of that game. LOL...oh well at least it was fun while it lasted.

The Age of Accountability....

On May 1, 2010 David jr. chose to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. David is the oldest child in the family and his decision made us so very proud. Here he is with his father on that special day. I must say, those two boys look darn good all dressed in white.

A funny little story at the beginning of this event was when David jr. saw his Dad all in white he remarked, "Dad, that's about as white as you'll ever get." We all laughed, that toad man can be so funny at times. 

David Jr was so nervous and excited all at once. We helped take the nerves away by making him stand and smile for a million photo's, he was a good sport through it all. 

One of the better pictures of our Family before
 we had to go and sit down for the service to begin.

Granny and Papa with the Toad Man! This is their second grandson to be baptized.                                                                    

Grandpa Alvarez, Toad Man, and Aunt Mariela. Grandma Alvarez wasn't able to make it because she had to work. So we took lots of pictures so she would be able to look and see what happened on his special day.

Uncle Tyson, Aunt Sabrina, Syrena, T'leese, Tyson jr., Shirlynn and T'Kierra with David Jr. We're so glad they made it to celebrate his special day with him.
They're all so cute and dear to our hearts!!! Thanks Walker Family, we love you!!!!!












This is Uncle Josh Johnson with David Jr. Josh and David Sr. have been friends forever!!!! We've dubbed him "uncle Josh" and the kids just love him and he's always there to support the important stuff.

Oh and this is David with his"Mommy"...or is he getting to old for that??? Mommy doesn't think so. He will always be her little boy, no matter how old he gets.

After David was baptized we had Uncle Tyson go and get a picture of him all wet!!! The man of the hour folks, "David Alvarez Jr."

He was freezing and totally ready to get back into his dry church clothes. But even though he's all soaking wet, I'd have to say he's still so darn cute!!!










David was baptized and confirmed by his father. These are the worthy Priesthood holders that were able to attend and stand in the circle.
