Baptism

We had the opportunity to attend a river baptism again. This time we had to hike through the jungle and up the mountain to a pool deep enough for the baptism. One sister is suprising her two sons, who are both serving missions, with her baptism. She was the only one in her family that had not been baptised. These baptisms are especially spiritual because of the humble and beautiful setting.

There are just NO words for these...

I guess Hee hee, hahhh, giggle, chuckle, I can't believe I hold the originals, are words... Cody maybe we should put these in the safe deposit box.

hi, lolo & lola!

They had quite the party in Bill's hot tub!
The parents were more than happy to let them have the honors.
Especially when they found huge snails crawling around outside
of the tub.
Sam was okay with it until he said that it
started to vibrate on his hand,
then he freaked out a bit!

This is Ashlyn feeding the horses.
It is almost April, a blizzard is going on outside.
In fact the weather is so yucky that Casey is taking the pictures through the garage windows because he doesn't want to go out in this weather.
Yet, Ashlyn is a trooper
& never complains about the job that she signed on for when we moved to
grandma & grandpa's house.

Congratulations

CONGRATULATIONS DIANA!

Oakley

Oakley had Crazy Mis-Match day at school. I finally had to tell her, there was nothing else she could do and she needed to get on the bus. She was so excited.
