Mallory's Baptism Day!

We had a very special day May 2nd- our baby Mallory was baptized by her father! We got there and found out that there were 5 kids in all being baptized, so it was a very special event!

We had quite a crew there- here are the kids! We were excited that the Armenta family came, we got to be in a special ceremony at their church, and two of the boys, next to Becca and Grant were in my class. Sweet family. We also had the Greenes, the Clarks, Jeb and Amber and kids, Grandpa Dennis, Grandma Carol and Grandpa John, Art and Tisha Alvarez, Jeanne Liberato, and others at the church, like Sister Schofield, Bishop Henrikson, and Brother Pace.

I am glad that everyone was taking pictures! Mine didn't really turn out great, so I will be asking for copies burned onto CD for me...

Gettin' some Brooklynn love!!!!!

The three musketeers...

plus Keilana and Brooklynn...

opening presents with Grandma Carol- I am mad I cut my mom's face out partially and didn't even know it! Mallory got a CTR ring from Auntie Amber, a journal from Grandma Carol which we found her laying on her bed and writing in later, a necklace and bracelet, a baptism memory book from Grandma Judy, a beautiful little figurine from Aunt Cammi, another necklace, a stuffed dog, and lavender body wash. All this, and we haven't even had a birthday party yet!

There are more pics to come, I am sure!

with our long time friend Jeanne!

We love you Mal! She had a great day, but we missed Grandma Judy, Aunt Cammi and Uncle Lance, and Carter and Reilly a lot!!! We know they were there in spirit, though, and Mallory knows how much she is loved because she wrote " a lot of people love me" in her journal :)

Thank you everyone for truly making this a special day for a special girl!

Grant's Birthday Party- April 20th

SO, this entry actually is backwards- sorry! This was the next morning, when they ran outside in their jammies and spent half of the day in the bounce house before Amber's friend came and picked it up. Grant had a Spider-man party with a bounce house, snow cone machine, hamburgers and hot dogs, cake, a pinata and a pin the web spinner on Spidey game. Lots of fun- we barely made it on time, rushing their after our double-header Saturday!
more jammies in the bounce house fun!

My sweet Brooklynn (sister-girl!)...

The after-party party! Becca, with Grant's play carpenter goggles, Grant, friend Maya, and Mallory

Plenty of pretzels, water, and a movie!

presents!

There were more kids, but some of them had been there a while and went home by this time...

and this is why their mouths are all red in the picture above this!- Messy snow cone face kids!!!

the other little one next to Becca is Isabelle, Grant's cousin (Jeb's brother's daughter)...

Good times! I don't have pictures of when Amber and I got in the bounce house. We had fun in there too, and were actually in there a while too, hahaha!....
