Baptisms!

What a special day we had with Jenna and Colton getting baptized. Jenna looked so beautiful--and happy! Colton looked handsome and excited. He didn't know he was going to get triple duty, but it made it all the more memorable. We sure love these two and are so proud of them. It was made even more special with having their cousins there to share it with them. We have such a great group. TJ was sick and Alyssa stayed home with him and Allison, so here you have it--20 of the 26 greatest kids around! Whoops--19, Trey has disappeared! I love these pictures of their families, but we aren't good photographers--we couldn't get away from the window, plus my old camera has a weird white out spot in it, but they are still better than not having anything. The next day we went to Isabell's blessing and she looked so beautiful as well. I forgot the camera, so Jer is going to email me pictures, so maybe next week. But Liz's sister has pictures on her website that are gorgeous of her. It is Krissyhickenphotography.com. Look under the newborn section. (that may not be the right spelling--I'll find out) We had a fun weekend with Trav and Allison's family. I feel bad it turned out to be so busy with us trying to get ready for the trip. However, we loved having them around and visiting and hearing what the kids were doing. Allyson did a great FHE for us on Sunday. It was so good to be together and the kids did pretty good--even the little ones. The boys had this great idea to have a sleep over on Sunday night. Unfortunately they decided after Zack had gone home so he didn't get to come back. Then Logan got sick in the middle of the night(thanks Allison for cleaning everything up), so Jer came and got him and Colton. But the others had a great time and did really good. When I came running in Monday to leave for the airport, the boys were eating ice cream and making a hut. It had 4 standing walls and they had even put pictures on the walls. I wish I had gotten a picture! What a great memory they have though and a fun day. Thanks again to Allison and Trav for doing this for the boys. And, as always, we missed those not here--Kim and Daniel and family!
