Poor Brighton got jumped! We were at the Ellsworth's and Brighton was out back playing. My brother, Don, has a Doberman that's a little over a year old, LARGE and hyper. He's never jumped on Brighton this bad but I guess the dog has been lonely. I happened to look out the window and see Brighton trying to fight him off and the big dog just kept jumping on him (playfully, but still!) while Brighton is screaming and trying to get him away. Brighton finally falls down and the dog still keeps jumping on him. I ran out there and screamed at the dog & he came running towards me. I smacked him so hard my hand stung and then tried to give him a good kick but I don't think it was good enough. In hindsight I wish I would have pulled out my mace and taught him a lesson. Brighton looked really dirty but I didn't realize he had all these scratches until we got back inside...then I was TICKED. I so wanted to kill that dog... Here's Brighton's aftermath (You have to enlarge the pics to really see the scratches):

Holy cow! Poor Brighton! I probably would have gone back out there after the dog after seeing Brighton. Kohl's a little unpredictable sometimes... Kalvin's definitely afraid of him.
He's just so big and the kids aren't big enough to fend him off... :(

Oh my, those pictures make me sad. That would be so scary for him. Mo is so afraid of dogs if that happened to him he would of pooped his pants.
It was so nice to hang out last week, we will miss you mucho!

Oh, poor little guy. I would have wanted to hurt that dog too. Me and dogs don't get along very well...I hope Brighton feels better.

Daisy's baptism day

Today Daisy was baptized by her big brother Brighton. My mom and Adaira got to be the witnesses, grandma Joanna gave the talk on the Holy Ghost, and Dale gave the closing prayer (after Dad has to rush during the closing song to help him put back on his tie and button up his shirt. Brighton was the pianist except for Adaira who played "When I am Baptized" for a special musical number. (A set of twins from another family was also baptized and their kids sang and played the violin). Here is what she has to say about her special day: I felt happy and felt the Holy Ghost. The water was a little cold. At first I was nervous but now I'm happy. I was excited to be baptized and I want to be a kind member of the church. My dad, grandpa Dean and grandpa Dale, great Uncle Dale, uncles Trent, Dean, Don, Duane and David confirmed me. Dad blessed me to seek a testimony of Jesus Christ and of Joseph Smith. He asked her to find quiet times in her life away from screens and devices to be...

  Memorial Day A couple months ago I told Justin that we should take our kids and both sets of grandparents to the Mesa City Cemetery and tell our kids stories about our family members buried there. I thought it would make a good Sunday or Family Home Evening activity.  I want my children to identify with their ancestors and feel like they can learn from them. I especially want them to feel like they can develop some of the same good qualities or avoid some of the poor ones. They had also never been to a cemetery so it would be a new experience for them. Justin and I never got around to organizing it until today. Justin's mom was planning a lunch BBQ and swimming for Memorial Day and told me she was thinking of inviting my parents and asked about time preferences since she was thinking of doing it around dinner time. The idea of the cemetery popped into my head and I mentioned that I thought it would be neat to do the BBQ earlier in the day and then take everyone out to the...
