A Baptism, A Blessing, and Weston's Mohawk!

Last weekend my niece Emma got baptized. We were so glad to be able to be a part of her amazing day. They moved here last summer from CA., and it has been a fun year having them here in UT. We are so proud of you Emma, for the great example you are to all your cousins. There couldn't been a more sweet, loving, and caring girl around!

Here she before her baptism, in her pretty white dress.

And after, positively glowing!

The next day, Sunday, Emma's little brother, Reed was given a name and a blessing.

He is such a good baby.
It was such a great emotional, spiritual, family fun weekend.
My cup runneth over!

On another note- Here is my son Weston sporting his summer Mohawk!

We had to shave it off before church!

He thinks he looks pretty darn cool!

Weston's 8th Birthday and Baptism!

(L-R) Drew, Weston, Reise, Conner, Hagen and Ray in front.

Weston had his friend party on Friday the 1st, right after school. We had a pirate party! We learned some pirate words like AVAST means STOP, and also had a treasure hunt, complete with the treasure chest buried in the snow. I even drew pirate tatoos on thier arms with markers. In the end all the boys werre made into true scallywags with swords and pirate eye patches.

Sat. Feb. 2nd, we had cinnamon french toast, ham and O.J. for birthday breakfast.

After breakfast Weston got to open 1 present, birthday clothes, a pirate ship puzzle, and new church clothes for his baptism.

Weston's baptism was at 5 p.m. that evening, because of President Hinckley's funeral, so it was an emotional day for many reasons. We are so proud of Weston and his decision to be baptized!

Lyn(Dad) was able to baptize Weston, and he was the only one in our ward, so it was Weston's special day. Everyone helped with the talks and music, Ellie even played the piano while we were waiting for the guys to get dressed. She did a great job!

This is Weston and Dad and Mom right after his baptism.

It was such an awesome day!

After the baptism it was time for Weston's family party!

This is the pirate ship cake that I made for his birthday, it turned out really cool!

Weston thought it was the best cake ever!

This is the cousins picture!

(CLW) Weston, Derrick, Ray, Kolton, Andalyn, Bekah, Maddison, Sydney, Ellie, and Trinity.

Weston's favorite present, a fun marble game for Uncle Chris and Tiesha!

It was a great day and then the next day, Sunday, Feb. 3rd, It snowed like crazy and a lot of our family weren't able to come to Weston's confirmation, because of the snow.

Yet we still had an awesome day and Lyn(Dad) was able to confirm Weston and give him the gift of the Holy Ghost. We are so proud of Weston! The newest member of the Heber 9th ward.
