Emery's Baptism

Emery along with being eight ,also chose to be baptized. Em has been really excited for this to happen for some time now. It is so amazing to see your kids go from little babies who you cannot imagine what they will think, how they will act, or what they will even look like. Now we can't believe how much personality Emery has, what a sweet spirit she has, and what a beautiful girl she has become. My sis-in-law made this georgeous dress for her. It suits her personality so well, so simple yet sweet. I am so dumb and did not get a pic of her by her self in the dress. DUH MOM Pete, Leah and kiddos came for the event. The cousins had such a great time- mostly before and after the baptism. Can you tell by this pic how thrilled they are?
My Mom and Dad came up from UT. for the event. Wow! Long drive just for a weekend stay. They are so awesome!
Great Grandma and Grandpa along with Ken and Julie also came to support Emery. We have such a wonderful supportive family. Julie spoke at the baptism on the Holy Ghost and she is such a wonderful job. She amazes me.
Emery got her own set of scriptures and is so excited to be doing activity days with the other girls in the ward. How fun!

Val- Look at how sweet Emery is and I have to say that she has a GREAT example to follow in. You are an amazing mom, and Emery is such a great little spirit.. We luv you, Bug

Home is where you can be silent and still be heard. Where you can ask and find out who you are. Where people laugh with you about your self. Where sorrow is divided and joys multiplied. Where we share in love and grow..
