I can't wait until I'm 8 for then I'll be baptized you see

Today was a very special day. It is so hard to believe that my youngest is already 8 and ready to follow Christ by being baptized. She was the only girl out of 4 children being baptized. The font had been draining without knowing it, so when it was time to do the baptisms, it only had enough water to come 1/2 way up her shins. Aubrey had to lay down flat in the water, but she was able to do it like a pro. I am so thankful that she has a daddy that holds the priesthood and was willing to baptize her. We are so proud of you Aubrey. Thank you for what you bring to our family. You are a special daughter of God.

I can see clearly now!

I shouldn't have joked about Damian needing glasses. That week Aubrey's school called me saying she didn't pass her eye exam. So I made her an appointment with the eye doctor......and sure enough, she needs glasses. I wanted to cry in the doctor's office when they had to go to the screen with only 2 and 4 letters per line before she could see the letters. She inherited her daddy's poor vision. He got glasses in
2nd grade and now so did she! It was funny watching her the first day. She kept looking through the glasses and then she would look over the glasses as if to say, "Oh, that is what that looks like."

Halloween 2010

Good Times! This was a very easy Halloween as far as costumes go. Emmalee used an older costume she has worn before several times- Sandra Dee from "Grease", Damian was "Dr. Pepper", and Aubrey was a Secret Service Agent. We went to our church's trunk or treating and had all the candy mom wanted them to have in about 20
minutes.
