Birthday and Baptism

My sister-in-law Dana came down from Seattle for a few days with her kids Addison and Alivia- we had a lot of fun playing with them. We celebrated Addison's birthday while they were here and the kids went on an egg hunt in my parent's backyard. Henry Loved it of course because he had practiced at Easter. He still needed a little help, but overall did pretty well!Pausing to pick up an egg and looking for his next place to search.
Henry got smart this time and decided he didn't get quite enough so he is stealing from his poor little sisters basket. He isn't too sneaky yet, as you can see he got caught! Not only by Emma, but his cousin Alivia is taking note- Get him girls!
Two is all she needs, as long as she has one for each hand!
Here is the birthday boy with his Mom and sista-celebrating!


On Saturday my niece McKayla got baptized. It was a really fun experience. Henry had never been to a baptism so it was so fun to watch him watch. When McKayla went under the water he was a little surprised-he looked around to see if anyone else was concerned that her Dad was dunking her under the water. After though he asked me if he could go swimming in there. It is amazing how simple everything was, but as she was being baptized how strong the spirit came and testified that this is what she was supposed to be doing and that the gospel is true. It was a good day.

Emma loved they gym, she acted like such a big girl running around and playing with all the other kids. I can't believe she is almost one!
Here is the group that went, minus Morgan and Rachel who had to head to another baptism
