Happy 14!

Hula's was Kiana's choice of restaurants for her birthday.

We also headed to Paradise to celebrate with family.

Make A Wish!

Gifts for a 14-year-old:

A new dress, pearls, itunes gift card, jewelry holder, gel nail kit & money

A week later, Kiana was headed to her first church dance.

What A Beautiful Girl!

Ice Skating

It's time to party!  

Kiana is turning 14!

We took Kiana and some friends down to Sacramento for some ice skating.

They had a great time on the ice!

The spectators also had fun watching the skaters.

Brrr, it's cold in here!

To end the evening, we stopped by Pink Berry to get some dessert--YUM!

First Day of School

9TH GRADE

Pier 39

Before the school year began, we took a mini day vacation to Pier 39.  We love the food, sites, sea animals, and views of the water.  Thanks for all the awesome pictures, Andrea!

We also visited the Oakland Temple and Jelly Belly Factory on the way home.

Sometimes we are still kids at heart!

Utah Trip #2

We headed back out to Utah for some more family bonding time . . . . 

We went temple hopping--Timpanogos, Jordan River, and Salt Lake City

Family Photo Shoot

A hike to Cecret Lake

"The Hills are Alive!"

We love the outdoors!

We took one last day to go and visit cousins.

Wednesday morning, July 29th, we dropped Seth off at the MTC.

Good Luck Elder Chatfield!

Beach Day!

Before the summer was over, we decided to squeeze in a beach day.  

We LOVE living in Northern California

The sun was bright, the sand was warm, and the water was cold!

Mission Farewell

Well, it's almost time to say farewell to Elder Chatfield.  In less than two weeks Seth will enter the MTC in Provo, Utah to start his two year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

A lot of Seth's friends came to listen to him speak at church on Sunday. 

He is blessed to have so much support.

His friends and family will miss him, but we all know what a wonderful experience it will be for him to share the gospel with others.

Family Talent Show

Our family has talent . . . . well at least we try.

At our reunion this summer we did a family lip synch.  

We performed a song sung by Pentatonix.  

(They performed their song on Sesame Street where they sang and counted to five.) 

We did our best to imitate these great singers and we have fun at the same time! 

Chatfield Reunion (Day 3)

I think the best part of the reunion was just being together.  Whether it was going on a hike, playing games, singing around the campfire, playing pool, goofing off, or just visiting, the Chatfields LOVE being together!

Chatfield Reunion (Day 2)

One of the days during the reunion we all went to Snowbird Ski Resort and played!  

We had a blast being together and enjoying the rides!

Chatfield Reunion (Day 1)

The Chatfields had a reunion in Utah.  

We rented a large home in the Utah mountains and invited all the Chatfields to come and enjoy several days together doing fun activities. 

 Of course we all received matching shirts for our reunion pictures, which turned out great!

Who is stronger?

Sometimes you have to be a little goofy in pictures.  

Everyone joined in, except for serious Andrea--who thinks we are all crazy!

Trip to Utah # 1

We headed to Utah this year to celebrate the 4th of July.  We stayed with Kyle & his family.  It was a great time to hang out with the cousins, eat yummy food, and visit temples.

One of the days, we were able to go swimming at a neighbors pool.  The kids had a blast!  

It was wonderful to relax by the pool--I could get use to this!

Kiana helped a sweet cousin take a short nap after our swimming excursion.

A little afternoon stroll with the cousins--the many reason I love Utah . . . . 

family and the beautiful outdoors!

We hiked the Y!

Yes, there was some huffing & puffing and a little complaining, but we all made it to the top!

Temple

Seth went to the Sacramento Temple today and took out his own endowments.  

We were blessed to have family join us for this wonderful experience.
