Christmas Lantern

I have done a lot of paintings lately for preschoolers, and I really enjoy it. However, when I was asked to do this lantern, I was so excited to get back to my first love, pencil.

Here is the picture I was given.

Here is the drawing I did.

Blizzard!!!

Happy Birthday Jesse!!!

(and there is going to be a huge blizzard tonight)

BAPTISM

Today was a very big day for Stevie. He made the decision to be baptized and we are very proud of him.

Stevie was baptized and confirmed by his dad, Steve.


We were fortunate enough to have lots of family in town. Grammy and Papa came from California. Em, Alan, Sam, and Clark came from Idaho. Jesse came from...Provo.

Before

After

Stevie was baptised along with a very good friend, Ellie. They have been playing together since they were 3 years old so it was cute to see them baptized together. (Emma sqeezed in the picture as soon as she saw the camera.)

Here was the reason for the irreverent nature of the entire service. Especially note Natalie's mischevious smile and Emma's tear-stained face.

Gathering my children in a chapel is always a recipe for disaster. This was no exception. But it was still nice to have the milestone reached.

I'm officially old.

Happy (Belated) Halloween!!!
