Gingerbread Houses

 Jonah begs and begs to make the gingerbread houses who would decorate gingerbread houses everyday.  All of the kids love to eat ginger bread- in the picture below Gideon is guilty of only doing that on this occasion. Masterpieces aren't they!

O christmas Tree

We have a fabulous guy at church who has the greatest laugh- he lives on a Christmas tree farm and for the last few years he has let all of us come and cut down a christmas tree- here we are on a lovely winter day cutting down the Tree for Christmas 2010. 

it didn't take too long to find one and Isak and the boys picked a little one for their room. 

I think it is the tree behind David.

Isak Turned 8 and was baptized!

I took Isak out for a little baptism photo shoot so we could make an announcement- it was my first one I ever made in photoshop and it was good- at least I thought it was for my first try.

*Okay I am barely in August of 2010 but the holidays were busy.  I just need to catch up if you only knew how cold this room I am sitting right now is.

Back to Isak and his baptism- He is so handsome and he is such a wonderful spirit.  He just gets things and he tries so hard to be good.  We are so proud of him and the choices he makes and he can really be kind when he wants to be.  He had some wonderful family members there to celebrate his day- like his Aunt Dona and cousin Lauren- his Grandpa Don came all the way from the west and Grammie Nancy came from the south.  Like all Larsen Baptisms none can start on time- Dad forgot his underwear at home.  So like it must be a tradition for our family that a baptism will never start on time and we have 3 more to go.

Jonah the all American Boy

These are some fun pictures i took of Jonah when i was thinking about composition- yes our grass was that long- it was only that long by this pile of wood in the middle of the yard waiting for someone to move it.  It made a great back drop.  These pictures depict Jonah perfectly- he is all boy and he is always barefoot and in a t-shirt climbing anything in his path- now and then he does have to rest and feel the summer sun on his face.
