Evelyn's Baptism!

The day after her party, Evelyn was baptized!

Devan performed the baptism and in his desire to get the wording perfect, he got nervous and slightly messed up.  So Evelyn got dunked twice and she was so happy about it!  It was a great service.  Matt did the talk on baptism, although he was prepared for the Holy Ghost talk, and it was a great talk.  I did the Holy Ghost talk and I thought it went well.  Harry Foster performed her confirmation and gave her a beautiful blessing.

Her primary teacher brought her some lovely flowers as did another sister in the ward.

We had a great turn out and it was wonderful to see how many people wanted to support Evelyn on her big day!



 

Evelyn's Birthday!

My "little" girl is now 8!  How the time flies!  For her birthday, she wanted an all girls dance party!

She invited a few friends and after pizza and an awesome cake made by me and decorated by dad



it was time for presents!

She had a good haul but the girls really wanted to dance, so dance they did.

It was a great party and a great group of girls!







Timmy's first Day

Timmy had his first day of school on August 27.  He is super excited to go to school just like the big kids.  He has some great teachers and even a few kids in his class with cochlear implants.  I am so excited about the progress he is making!  He signs more and he understands so much more every single day!
