Baptism Memories


On Saturday Alicia was baptized. It was a lovely day and we enjoyed having many family members join us for the special day.


Speaking of family, John's sister is in town with her kids, so we enjoyed a fun day at the zoo with them.




Of course we enjoyed the bird show (I had a hard time picking just one picture of the 30ish John took with the camera)



Now for an odd assortment of pictures and ramblings -

We said goodbye to the Galant - the first car John and I bought together 11 years ago. It brought Kimberly and Alicia home from the hospital when they were just tiny babes, it took us on many adventures around the country (okay, not east of the Colorado river - but almost every state west of it), and transported John to work faithfully in recent years without any mishaps. We might still see it around town since the gentleman who bought it from us gave it to his son, who is a senior at Davis High school.


After we had our family pictures, we enjoyed a picnic dinner up in the mountains and got this beautiful shot. The other girls were originally in the picture with me, but had officially had it for the evening posing for a camera.



and Natalie is at it again this time coloring all over Megan with pen. ahh the joys of being the youngest.

It's extra special to share a special day with special friends isn't it? (That was a whole lot of special.) I'm glad I got to be there to share in the fun!

What a wonderful day for all of you. Sorry grandma and I couldn't be there. It sounds like you're having a great summer.

It was a beautiful day. Kevin said to tell Alicia he wishes he could have been at the baptism but right now he'll do his best to bring those same blessing to others.
