Kami's baptism

Kamryn Alexis Yantz
Baptized by her father, Timothy Shawn Yantz
on November 7, 2009

Kami and Daddy before the baptism. They said they were "strong in faith"!
Grommie was able to come and be a part of this wonderful experience with Kami!


Joaquin really wanted to help his mommy sing and give her talk!

Kami and Haley Bowman. Haley's mom Maggie gave a wonderful little talk on Baptism. Kami has always had a special place in her heart for Sis Bowman and was so excited that she agreed to give a talk. Maggie was Kami's CTR 7 teacher.
Kami's best friend Peyton Wyatt came as well. After the baptism was over, our family decided to celebrate by going out to dinner! Kami picked Red Robin and Daddy told our waitress that this was a very special day for Kami and she brought out this little dessert for her! We all had a bite(or 2)!
Ummm, trying to get a family picture here but as we can see.......it didn't work out so well!!

Trying to catch up!


It has been a while since I have updated my blog. Alot has been going on and I do take pictures of events that happen, I just can't seem to find the time to post them! Nolan lost his first tooth at 5 1/2 years of age and I think this was harder on me than his 1st day of kindergarten. I don't know why. Maybe because I knew this was my last child to lose his 1st tooth? Who knows! He was so very excited and I didn't even realize it was loose until it was time to pull it out. Of course he wouldn't let Daddy do it! Only mommy! Since this 1st tooth, he has indeed lost 2 more in about 2 weeks time! So now he has a big "window" on bottom and a smaller "window" on top!
I was trying to get a picture of the "window!

Kami and Nolan love to play together at Peighton's soccer games when they aren't being ball boy/girls!
The 2 younger kids were really the only ones who was really excited about carving pumpkins this year! Coltin and Peighton did eventually participate and carve their own, but I didn't get pics!






I was able to go with Nolan and his class on a field trip to the pumpkin patch! it was alot of fun and I am so blessed to have a husband that provides for our family and allows me to do these kind of things with our children.


Nolan with his buddy Carter. I also took Nadia, one of the little girls that I keep.


This is one of my favorite pictures! I think it captures Nolan's sweet little personality!





Karmen and her boys have came for a month visit and were able to go with us to Nolan's "community helper" parade. Nolan really wanted to be Batman but was afraid he would get in trouble if the teachers didn't think he was a community helper! So he was happy with being a nurse/doctor just like his daddy!
His teacher was dressed just like him!


Daddy also accompanied me to Kami's school for her Halloween party. Here Daddy and Nolan are sitting on the carpet waiting for instructions from her teacher!


Kami was "Hannah Montana" for the Trunk or Treat at church, Nolan was of course Batman, Nadia was a butterfly princess, Joaquin was a Power Ranger, and little Zeke was Spidey!








For trick or treating, Kami decided to be a witch! Here she is with her BFF Peyton!
I captured this awesome picture of Tim wearing Kami's hat!


Peighton and Kelsey were "Glampires"!

She wanted to turn her friend Becca into a Glampire! haha

Coltin decided he wanted to participate in Aunt Raina's annual haunted house this year. He was a zombie and I think Raina did an awesome job with his costume and face painting! The haunted house was a huge success and raised lots of money for the "Scare for a Care". All the donations went to UK's children's hospital in Trystan's name to help fight childhood cancer!
