Bailey gets baptized

We celebrated Bailey's baptism this weekend. To start everything off, we went and got her ears pierced. Madalyn and I took her to the mall and watched as she joined the pierced ear CLUB. Her earrings look so pretty.  I got my ears pierced when I was 5 years old, so I couldn't wait until Bailey said that she wanted to get her ears done. You don't have to ask me twice.

The next day was her baptism. She was so excited that she kept counting down the hours. Both grandparents came, Darren and Tricia, Jennifer and Michael, Ashlee and Jeff and all of the cousins. It was a beautiful night.

Madalyn flew to Utah to go to EFY the day of Bailey's baptism so we took this picture before she headed to the airport.


Grandma and Grandpa Newell bought Bailey her baptism dress.





We are not complete without Madalyn.

Afterwards, we had a dinner in the gym. Everyone pitched in and made delicious food.
Thank you everyone.




After the baptism we returned home to open some gifts.
Bailey got scriptures, stickers, marking pen, hymn book, bag, watch and a CTR ring.

Gannon's 2nd birthday!

Gannon is 2! Can you believe it? I can't. It seems like yesterday that I was at the hospital ready to deliver him. We have loved every minute that he has been apart of our family. He is sweet, loving, forgiving, sensitive, gentle, patient, smart and playful. We celebrated Gannon and Isabella's birthday with family. We spent a long weekend at Grandma's house. We picked strawberries, swam, jumped on the tramp, watched fireworks, ate great food, played on the toys and relaxed. It was a great birthday weekend.


At Lone Pine farms the kids played on the toys before we picked strawberries.













All the kids walking down to the berry patches to get strawberries.








After leaving the strawberries we returned to Grandma's and swam all afternoon.







For Isabella and Gannon's birthday, we went to SPLASH.

Tricia made a princess cake for Isabella and helped make my chocolate creation into something noticable.
It is a basketball!

Happy Father's Day Matt!
