She's Official!


This weekend Lexi was baptized! I can't believe she's already 8 and going to be held accountable for her actions- isn't there some way to put that part off for a few years? We've had a fun and busy week- we've loved having so much family come. Darrell's sister Michelle came with 4 of her kids and W-O-W! Three 3 year old's can be quite a handful! They've loved playing together and for the most part did really well. Lexi and Ashlee loved having Brittney and Jamie here- even though they are 17 and 18 they are sweet to play with my girls.
Brooke Carly and Sydney saying CHEESE!
Love the help!
Brittney and Jamie thought they were being sneaky of taking a picture of themselves on my camera- well now everyone gets to see it!
My Mom and sister Robyn came and it was great to have them here 4 days- we can't get enough time with them! Darrell's Mom came Friday and left Monday, it was great to have here but wished she could have stayed longer. Michelle will be leaving tomorrow and I've decided from now on we are keeping our visitors hostage and when we get sick of them we'll let them go home- it's too hard to good- bye!

Crazy cousins!
My brother and his family drove down for the baptism and had to leave the same day- but they brought a surprise with them- my niece Kylea. We were so happy to see her! Lexi's eye's looked like they were going to pop out of her head, Ashlee's face was very similar! they LOVE Kylea and haven't seen her in a year. We weren't going to see her for another year- but she surprised the girls and I think that was probably the highlight for Lexi and Ashlee, well besides getting baptized!

If you still lived here Lexi and Olivia could have gotten Baptized together. At least they were baptized on the same day!!
