Emeline's Baptism

The weekend was a busy one but it was for a great occasion. Emeline's baptism was beautiful. It was wonderful to see all our friends and family that could come and support Emeline in her decision to be baptised. All the excitement proved to be much for Emeline, she stayed home from school today because she was still very tired today :) I have three more years before we do another baptism here.. I may recover by then :)

I am so grateful for this wonderful gospel we are a part of. I am very excited every time someone else see what the Gospel can bring to their life and makes the commitment to become a member and receive those blessings. The baptism was wrapped up with the song, "I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ.." Many of the adults did not know the words to the song, but the children that were there sang it with so much excitement that it brought a few tears. "I know who I am, I know Gods plan, I'll follow him in faith." I am very grateful to belong to this wonderful Church and know God's plan.

The girls just love the Fantasia movie from Disney... They were dancing and having a good time!

FYI

Just a quick note to anyone that has not talked to me about coming to Emy's baptism, I need to know by Monday so that we can plan the dinner after the baptism. Also I have been informed by one of my friends that all the hotels in Moscow and Pullman are full. you may need to look into staying in Lewiston/Clarkston or Colfax. They are both about 35 minutes from our home.
We look forward to seeing all that can come... Emeline is very excited. this last week Trent and Dave have been giving Emeline and Maren the discussions for their upcoming baptism. Our local Elders have been great, they come and sit in on them :) It has been a great experience for the girls and their dads. (Dave is one of our close friends here and Maren is the friend that Emy is getting baptised with on the 24th.) :)
Have a great week everyone... hey we even have sunny weather right now!

Hannah's new favorite thing...

Yes... That is Hannah sleeping while playing with Play dough. notice she is still holding the cutting toy :)

Hannah has discovered play dough the last week and can not get enough of it.. The hardest problems has been to keep it out of my clothing and furniture and at the table where it belongs!

I was sick this past week, Trent stayed home and took care of the children... he was doing some work at the computer and came back to little Hannah taking a nap with her play dough.. too cute!

Emy's 8th Birthday

Emeline wanted to celebrate her 8th birthday this year with a small slumber party with two friends. They had a great time!

Clearance at wal-mart... I love it! no where else would I have found three little girls pj kits for so little cost!! They loved that they were matching!

No cake, Emeline wanted ice cream Sundays and cookies... can you say sugar high?

I had to take a picture.. they crashed around 11 that night... they were all very tired I think.
Emeline is anxiously awaiting her baptism April 24th.
