Baptism.

Saturday, March 6, 2010 was a pretty special day around our house. Ashley turned 8 and got to be baptized on her actual birthday. She has really been looking forward to this day. She even took it upon herself to invite people that are special to her, like her 2nd grade teacher. Ashley was delighted when she saw her there! We had lots of friends and family join us for her special day. It seriously made my heart full to feel the love from our family and friends here. I was also touched by the family members who although couldn't be here, remembered her special day and called to talk to Ashley. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful people a part of my life and the lives of my children.

and although all of our eyes are squinty, we were so happy for the sunshiny day, we aren't about to complain about our eyes...

almost 8

my little girl is almost 8.

she met with the bishop and the primary president this past Sunday and now she is all ready for her baptism this coming Saturday.

man oh man where has all the time gone?

i'm pretty convinced that there couldn't be a sweeter little girl in this whole wide word.

love you Ashley!
