Elise & Jared

So Jade was just baptized, and with that, we have had 5 baptisms in the past year. Lexi on the Francis' side, and Dallin, Elise, and Jade on the Weeks' side. (And for those of you who did the math, that is only 4 - the 5th would be our dear Sierra - but if I had listed her on the Francis' side, she would say that her name was Weeks, if I had listed her on the Weeks' side, then I am throwing my family to the wind - and if I listed her on both, then math still wouldn't add up). What a precious time for these children. And the truth of the matter is, right now, their minds take in so much, I think that Sierra teaches us daily about something new she has discovered and she is still working on learning other things, i.e. obedience and being nice to her sisters. Harry made the comment after Elise's baptism stating "just wait a few years and we are going to have weddings back to back to back." Weddings, Proms, Friends, Emotions. . . wait, what are we in for?!?

Family is truly a gift from God. Our three little girls are a gift from God. We are so blessed in our lives, and I know that I totally take advantage of this at times, well yes, most of the time. We are also blessed to have family that is so good to each other. My girls really look up to everyone of their cousins.

Lexi, Dallin, Sierra, Elise and Jade - we are so proud of you for the decision you made to be baptized. The Holy Ghost is an awesome gift we have in our lives. Now that you have made this important step, the next step is a big one. . . it is the preparation for the rest of your lives. A mission, a temple marriage, a family, good friends, you have a lot of things to prepare for. Remember that your Mom and Dad are here to support you and so is Grandma and Grandpa, and Nanna and Poppa, and Aunts and Uncles. You guys need to continue to be the examples to everyone else. Especially your siblings.

Today a friend in our ward blessed their baby. She was born extremely premature only weighing 2 lbs. After months of prayers for both Carrie and Elenor, they are both doing great and she is finally in the clear to come out in public so that they could bless her. How precious life is.

From Blessings to Baptisms to Weddings. . . keep your world pure and "white". Love ya!
