Amara's Baptism and Kade's Blessing

Here is my sweet girl Amara and her daddy ready to go to the church to get ready for the baptism.  She is so excited and is so happy that her daddy get's to baptize her.

At Amara's baptism, the candidates get to choose their favorite song for the audience to sing with them as they are waiting for their turn to go back to the baptismal font.  Amara chose "I Love to See the Temple" as her favorite Primary Song.  She was so excited that a lot of family were able to come and share her special day with her.  We just love Amara!  She is witty, smart, talented, funny, cute, dramatic, and she is our little Fashionista!

Here are some of the pictures from the next day, Sunday, after Kade's blessing in church.  We are feeling so blessed that Heavenly Father sent us another child.  He is such a joy and a perfect addition to our family.  The kids just love him a ton and he has made them be better brothers and sisters too!

Here is my dad, Charles, my mom, Luella and Kade and Amara after church.
And here we all are...
Two VERY special and important people in my life!~
This picture say's it all!

I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who is not only worthy to hold the priesthood, but also loves to use it to bless our family!



A hike :)

 While the family (Thanes family, not mine, they didn't come, do I sound bitter!?) was in town for Amara's Baptism and Kade's Blessing, they decided to go for a hike while I stayed behind waiting for my mom and dad to show up.  Ok, so at least my mom and dad were there, I'm very thankful for them! 

They went to Snow Canyon.
Here is Sinjin, Thane, Owen (Thanes Dad's dad) and his wife Kathy and behind her is Thane's Aunt.  Thane's Grandpa and Grandma came all the way from Washington!  He is not it great health, and I am SO grateful that they made the effort to be there on this very special day!



 Other visitors on the hike included the Walters and Thanes Brother Rusty, and his cute pregnant wife Megan and their cute daughter Brittnee!
