Receiving the Priesthood

I don't think words can even express how happy I was this day. I am so proud of Cade, and the person he is growing into. He is an honest, hard working kid. He is so strong in the gospel. I love how he knows and understands. He truly believes, and works hard to obey. I pray that he always stays this strong. He is a good example to everyone around him. He is not one to give into peer pressure. He has always had that leadership quality about him. I hope he keeps it! Good job Cade- we all love you!

Haylee's Baptism ** LONG overdue**

My beautiful girl got baptised on Nov. 5th 2011

Her hair bow was made by a friend of mine. The middle of the flower is actually a smaller flower that she wore on her wrist as a bracelet when she was blessed. When she gets married, she will be able to attach this flower to her bouquet and have all of them with her. I love it!

Haylee and her cousin Spencer were both getting baptised the same day so my family all came down from Utah and the kids were both baptised here.

These cute girls had so much fun together - I was VERY hard for Haylee to say goodbye to them.

I can't believe we didn't get a big family picture together at the baptism! I guess it was because we had spent hours getting family pictures taken earlier that day, that we were all tired of smiling for the camera:) Anyway, I am so very proud of my sweet girl and her decision to get baptised. She has a sweet testimony of the gospel.

Kendal's Blessing

We had family come in town for the blessing. We went out to dinner the night before, and then had a big lunch after she was blessed. It was so fun to have everyone here.
