New Phase

We officially are starting a new phase in life. William became a Deacon and we took him to do baptisms in the temple. He learned how to pass the sacrament, give a lesson in Deacons, and do fast offerings. Holly also was baptized on January 25th. These days have been so special for David and I. It just feels so wonderful to see your children do what the Savior wants them to do. These special days just make me feel so happy.

This is our Bishop. Bishop Heaton. We love him with all our hearts. He is so fun with the kids and makes everyone feel that they are so special to him. David honors and respects him deeply. He is a funny guy too and loves to kid and joke. We did their interviews on the same night.

William had the flu the day of Holly's baptism. David had it a few days before and it was bad, so he stayed home. It was sad not to have him there. I am so grateful to David who is a worthy priesthood holder and can baptize our children. Allison got to come get Holly dressed with me afterward, it was fun to have us girls all together. There was a special feeling at the baptism-I love that feeling. I was missing my mom and dad this day. 

Grandma Delynn had made Allison's baptism dress out of my wedding dress fabric. There were only  a few pieces left, but I asked Sandra to make Holly's dress. She was nervous and unsure, but it turned out sooooo beautiful and special. A few days there was a problem with the fit and you could see down into Holly's dress, so my angel neighbor Deanne Hoover did a last minute quick fix. It's gonna need a good safety pin in the back for the next girls to wear it. This is such a special dress. Holly has never looked so grown up and so beautiful. I can't believe how old she is. She is such a blessing to our home! She bring happiness where ever she goes. 

I didn't get a picture the day of William's ordination. It also was a very special day. Micah picked up Grandma Erma but his car broke down on the freeway! By some miracle they made it to the ordination, but Grandma needed to come home with me. I wasn't prepared to entertain-but she didn't seem to mind! She stayed the WHOLE day. She ate grilled cheese, did Come Follow Me, watched me fold a little laudry, and watched a church movie with us. It was a long day, but I'm glad I was able to serve my Grandma.
