What Can I Say


What a DAY!!! Ian was baptized Saturday and it was a very special day for not only him but for our entire family.










Grandma and Grandpa came to be there for this important day. Grandma was the chorister and led the music for both the stake and ward part of the baptism. And then to top off all excitement...Ian got the set of scriptures he has been WAITING an entire year for!! THANKS grandma and grandpa!!












Nonie and Granddad were also able to attend and Granddad gave a special talk on the Holy Ghost. If you happened to wonder why Ian looks so "shaming" in his suit in the pictures below, it's because Nonie and Granddad bought Ian this suit for his 8th birthday!!

Sunday, Baker was ordained to the office of a Deacon. It was a very spiritual day and one, as a Mother, I will never forget. Baker received a very special gift from Granddad and Noni. Tickets to attend all 3 Saturday sessions of General Conference, including his first Priesthood session, in Salt Lake with his Dad.

We are very blessed as a family to have so many family members live close by.

Nano, Aunt Shar, Aunt Ann, Aunt Emily, Aunt Allison, and cousins were among all those that attended these events...Lauren, Drew, Anthony, Ellie, Trevor, Mabel, Addy, Ethan and Brynn that took the time to attend our busy but special weekend and for that we are forever thankful!!




















Last, but NEVER least, Ian's other half...Josh. Our dear, dear, friends, FAMILY rather. The Greer's came. As it was just as a crazy weekend for them also, as Julia was blessed on Sunday too, but as family does, they made time to attend our events as well and for that we LOVE them even more!!! Life would be so empty without friends!!

The felling is mutual. Life is no fun without great friends. Thanks for including us.

OK, We suck!!! Sorry we didn't make it to Ian's baptism, Julia's Blessing OR Baker's Preistood Ordination but if you'll notice all the beautiful trees and clocks in the backround of your pictures, I put those there JUST for Ian's baptism day so you would have a beautiful backdrop to take pictures in front of :) LOVE YOU GUYS!!
