Logyn Russel Evans is our oldest. He turned 8 in January and got baptized on the very busy Day of Februaary 2nd. This also happened to be his grandpa Parry's birthday, Pres. Hinckley's funeral and the day of my brother, Shaun's, 1st benefit concert for Promethean Spark (www.prometheanspark.com)
his non-profit org. Needless to say it was a very busy day, physically and emotionally.
Russell was able to baptize Logyn then his Grandpa Evans (aka Papa) gave a beautiful talk on the Holy Ghost. Logyn was confirmed by his Grandpa Parry and then dazzled everyone with a solo called "My Baptism Day". It was perfect! Logyn received a journal for his special day and waisted no time in writing about this very important day in his life.
Logyn is thrilled about cub scouts and has received his bobcat award. We had our pinewood derby this month and Logyn did very well. Each of the boys had 4 races. Logyn kept getting 2nd place. Then finally on his last race he got first place. You should have seen him jumping all over the place.

The girls in our our family will number 3 by the end of August. Yes, tis true!! We our having a little girl due on Aug. 18th. We are so excited, especially Perri. With Perri's birthday in August we'll have some great princess parties for birthdays. That makes my two oldest boys born in January, my two girls born in Aug. and my youngest boy right in between, in May.
So far, we plan to name her Darma Beth. My grandma Hatch came up with Darma. It is the combined name of my grandma and grandpa on my mom's side. Their names are Darr and Norma. I thought it was very clever. Her middle name, Beth, would be short for Bethers which is my grandma's maiden name. Nothing is set in stone but I think it will stick.
We are painting Perri's room a pretty pale green with purple accents in a garden theme to get ready for "The Girl's" room. We are so excited to finally have 2 families on Russell's side that will have sisters in the family. His sister is the only other one who has two girls out of his 8 siblings. Hooray for Darma!!
