Smiles

Our little Elizabeth is 10 weeks old. She is an absolute dream baby- happy most of the time, cuddily and usually has a smile for everyone. She is such a blessing. The boys just love her!

Even though she looks like Dave (and like the boys!) she seems to have the Heilner coloring. At least there's some indication that she's Ashley's baby!

Girls Camp

Last week Ashley had the chance to go up to Girls Camp with our ward at Mia Shalom. She had a great time and really enjoyed spending time with the girls in Young Womens.This is Sarah Peterson our stake YW President. The theme of camp this year was 'We Will Rock You' (mostly referencing the Savior), but they had a fun rock concert the first night and got all dressed up.

Jensen Family Reunion

Over 4th of July weekend we headed down to Cedar City for a Jensen family reunion. All 5 of Dave's siblings and their families were there. I believe that there were 34 of us!

Dave's parents has the reunion well planned. Each day there were day trips we could choose and then in the evenings we would hang out in a hotel banquet room and have dinner and play games. Above is Teresa with Katie and Lauren. (Dave's sister-in-law and nieces).

Dave's niece Sherry with her daughter Kate. (They are little look alikes).
This was a pretty typical shot of Nathan on the trip. He refused to sleep at night in the hotel room (or during the day for that matter) so he was basically wreck the whole trip.

While Ashely was hanging out in the parking with Nathan waiting for everyone, she took some artistic pictures.

The St. George Temple
Nathan refused to go in the visitor's center where there was air conditioning. Instead he insisted on walking the temple grounds in the 110 degree heat. (Much more fun don't you think?)

Good Things Utah

Last Monday, Dressed in White was featured in a segment on Good Things Utah. Mom was interviewed it and she asked a bunch of little girls to model her baptism dresses.


Elizabeth also was on the show modeling one of the heirloom blessing gowns.

Claire's Birthday Party

Last Sunday, we were invited to Dave's niece, Claire's 2nd birthday party. As always, Dave's sister Linda, did an amazing job making it fun for the kids. They loved the Sunflower cake, making book marks and playing with their cousins.

The birthday cake was so cute.
All of the cousins were interested in Elizabeth.

The Cheesecake Wedding Cake

Dave was asked my our Bishop's wife to make a cheesecake wedding cake for their daughter's wedding. Dave was very flattered. He spent every night for about a week making cheesecakes. He had to make 10 for the wedding. He was relieved when he was done (as was Ashley-- she was tired of washing cheesecake pans!).

Our Bishop and his wife Mary Ann. We just love them.

It is finished!

A Visit from Leslie

Last week Ashley's best friend Leslie and her family came to visit us from Lethbridge, Canada. She has 3 kids, who are all about a year older than ours. They have been living in Canada for the past 5 years while her husband, Eric has been in Medical School & now doing his residency.We went on a tour of BYU. Here is the courtyard in front of Dave's building. The kids had fun playing in the water, because unfortunately, the Bakers came just as a miserable heat wave hit Utah!
Nathan worn out from walking the perimeter of BYU's campus. A lot of steps for those little legs!

The kids all had so much fun together. They just ran around the whole time! Daniel keeps asking to go back to the water park with Justin (he doesn't understand how far away Canada is!)
