Hannah's Baptism

Pictures used for Hannah's Baptism Invites....

More pic's from our photo shoot....

Congratulations to my sweet, precious Hannah on

becoming a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of

Latter-day Saints and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.

What a blessing this will be in your life.

Kyleigh gave a talk on Baptism and the

KEY reasons why we need to enter the

waters of baptism, the KEY things that

Heavenly Father promises us as well as

the KEY covenants we make with him. She

presented Hannah with this keepsake

KEY to remind her not only has she made

a KEY choice in choosing to become baptized

but that she now has the KEY to open

the gates of heaven...as she is now one step closer

to being able to return to live with Heavenly

Father someday and having eternal life.

Emma did a wonderful job on her talk about the

Holy Ghost. She did an object lesson that I don't think

Hannah will soon forget. It involved a rock....and

Hannah is a rock collector!

Hannah's 8th Birthday Party

Come "Rock" with us

At Scofield West

We'll have a blast

On our Mountain quest.......

Hannah loves rocks so we decided to have a ROCK
themed birthday party for her. We took her and a few of her
friends up to Scofield for the day to rock hunt on the beach,
ride ATV's, play in the water, have a bbq and campfire s'mores.

The girls trying to find the polished rocks I had hidden...

The girls loved playing in the water
even though it was freezing!

The girls ready for the highly anticipated ATV ride..

Hannah cracking open a geode...the girls loved

finding the crystals inside. We had a rock'in time!

Seeing David Archuleta at church...

and getting his autograph!!! How that all came to
be is quite an amusing story that I won't get into...
I'm keeping mum for the record not only to save me
any further embarrassment but because I know I
nor Heather will ever forget that experience. I just
wish something intelligent could have come out of
my mouth when I had the chance to talk with him. LOL

Mother's Day
Okay, I know I'm a little behind as Mother's Day was
over a month ago but I HAD to post this picture not only
because I love this French painting, it's one of my all time
favorites, but because it explains how I feel about my four
beautiful daughters. They are my jewels!

Noël Hallés painting illustrates this principle with the help
of an image drawn from Roman history. The widow Cornelia,
daughter of a great warrior, receives an ostentatiously dressed
visitor. In response to the rich fabrics and the precious jewellery
of the visitor, Cornelia, referring to her children, asserts ‘These
are my jewels.’ Cornelia is the supreme example of the virtuous
mother, who places the emotional, intellectual and moral needs
of her children above materialism. Note her simple clothing and
hair and her inquisitive, upright children; two of them, Tiberius
and Gaius, would go on to become great leaders.

Emma does an awesome job setting the table on Sundays.
Mother's Day Sunday was extra special with handmade
origami at each table setting. This girl has an eye for detail.

Am I feeling the love or what?
