Olivia's Baptism

It's crazy to be old enough to have an 8yr old! I mean it seems just like yesterday I had her. The time flies, and it is all too depressing, realizing just how fast it goes. If only it were possible to bottle them up and keep them fresh forever! Alas it's not possible, I guess I'll have to embrace reality, and enjoy moments like these.  I am so grateful that Olivia chose to be baptized. She was very excited about all of it. And she was definitely ready for this change in her life. It has now been 2 months since and I'll still catch her ready her scriptures more independently. She has grown so much in the past 8 yrs, and that is just the beginning. My sweet baby girl. I love her and the life of the party she is and strives to be (sometimes maybe too much life).

She was able to be baptized with her cousin Serenity, which added to the excitement of it all. They were baptized Saturday April 7th 2012 . When the miss Olivia was baptized her cute little foot popped up, meaning she got to do it again!!!  Lucky!!! All of our family were able to be there, and we are very grateful for all the support from them. I was "blessed" to give a talk at her baptism.  Let's just say I thought the crowd would be much smaller then it was. However I think it went well, and it was nice to add some of my own words and expression of love for her.  What a beautiful day it was!  After the baptisms we had a some cake in the gym, and opened presents, where the girls got to thank their guests for attending....by that I mean run all over the gym and play with cousins!!!!  Ahh to be a kid again!!! So care free!!

Here are some beautiful pictures of a beautiful girl!!!
