Opfar Mad Skillz

Still catching up on the summer!!

Meet the Opfar's:


Amanda and Tyler, top
Camden, Parker, Chandler, Christian, Aliza, Rachel and Austin, bottom.
All the Opfar cousins.

Parker...'nuf said.

The three oldest cousins, Amanda is 4 months younger than Tyler...

...and they always pick up where they left off.  So much fun to get together with them!
It's fun to watch the two of them grow up.

Aliza.  Also 'nuf said.


Tyler the oldest cousin with Austin, the youngest.


T with Uncle Scott and Uncle Chris.
Maris' brothers.
I told you Maris was the little one.


The kids had so much fun playing on Scott's newest backyard toy! (above)

And with their OTHER backyard toy (below):


If there is one thing you learn from playing a game with the Opfar's, it's that COMPETITIVENESS RUNS IN GENES, and it IS inherited!!!


And it wasn't just the boys who got it.


We had a blast!  One thing we miss is doing this on a monthly basis with Maris' family.


We'll be practicing our tether ball skillz over the next few months so that when we play again, we DOMINATE!  :)

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
