Baptism Day 3*24*12

March 24th 2012 was a beautiful day!

Natalie and Taylor made the choice to be baptized as member of 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!!

It was a very busy day!  They had a dance recital in the morning, then the baptism at 4 later that day.  Too add to my stress, Jason, who NEVER gets sick came down with a world class-knock down-drag out cough.  I thought he was going to keel over on us!!!

Thankfully his Dad and our neighbor were able to give him a blessing.  And although he did not feel great, he was able to baptize his sweet daughters!  WHEW!!!

Grandma Blue made the girls beautiful "party dresses".  They picked out their own fabric and everything!

Taylor and Daddy!  

Nattie and Daddy!

Dripping with the Spirit!!!

Candace came with the kids!  It meant so much to me that she would travel all those miles, alone, with 2 kids to share this day with us!  She is the best friend a girl could ask for! 

My friend Cherie, the girls teacher at church made these adorable Subway art prints!  They are precious! 

My sister Jennifer made this adorable cake!  It matched everything perfectly! 

They got lot's of wonderful gifts for the special day!  They even got a set of scriptures, cases, and hymnals from Mom and Dad!  

So they were SHOCKED to get a DSlite from us! 

I posted way more pictures of FB.........I know.....slacker!

Ok, so these pics are out of order. But I just don't have the gusto to fix it! So we are going to deal alright?

We had a great Spring Break! Jason was home all week, only had 2 wrestling practices so that was nice. And we were all healthy. Here are some things we did: Took the kids to McDonnies. I snapped this picture of Burke in the play area. The girls got him up there! He looks like an alien!

Played some kick ball out in the street. Worst $2.50 ever spent. The ball died a few hours later! Burke and Jason got some snuggle time it!

This is where I am bummed the pictures are out of order!! This was the cake my sister Jennifer made for the girls birthday party! It was deeeeeeeelish! And rainbow! HELLO!!!!!!!

The view of the cake! She topped it with the Lalaloopsy dolls! It was adorable!

Me and my new owl blanket that I paid $3.86 for at Fred Meyers.

More of the AWESOME cake! Um, this is Jason as guests were arriving! Trying to catch a nap in!

Grammy giving some pre-party back scratches!

Nattie waiting for hers! They both wore the aprons G'ma Blue made for them! So cute huh?

The top of the cake!

My table decor. I used the Fisher Price doll house my sister Megan got girls for their 3rd birthday! I am so glad we still have it! The little Lala dolls fit perfectly! It has been so nice to see my girls play with dolls again! Did you know that the average age girls quit playing with dolls in 1950 was 14? Now it is age 7. Sad huh? So you can see my happiness for them to be excited about dolls!

My sisters went in on their gift this year! They got them the large Lala dolls! Cute huh? Jason and I got them pillow pets. A major favorite with them!

We also got the girls Leapsters. And one game. We took one back the night they got them because it did not work right. Then the next day the batteries were dead. They were also way too easy for them too. So we took them back and got this Wii game! It is so fun! They all love it!

I am beyond tired. I have had the busiest week ever. Starting last Friday night..........

Ate Los Betos Carne Esada Tacos {regretted it later at Walmart. And of course the front bathroom was being cleaned.......waddle to the back one......insert sad face here}
Worked 12 hours straight selling Cents of Style product at the State Cheer and Dance Competition in Nampa. {killer}

Made 2 batches of these TO DIE FOR rolls. { dashizzle}

Had Grandma and Grandpa Blue in town all week for my girls 7th birthday! {lunch at school}

I guess they get tired too! {Resident "bed hopper" Graden}

Celebrated Taylor and Nattie's 7th birthday. {sigh}

Went to a "Moosical". {a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e.}

Love these ladies. What a joy and a blessing to be their Mother.
