Bree's special day

Turning eight is a "big deal" because that is the age of accountability appointed by God. This means that Bree is now old enough to become Baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

At baptism we make a covenant with our Heavenly Father that we are willing to come into His kingdom and keep his commandments.

We covenant to take upon ourselves the sacred name of Jesus Christ. Taking upon us His name is one of the most significant experiences we have in life.

Bree we are so proud of you for following the example of Jesus Christ. Your life will be forever changed because when temptations come if you will listen, the Holy Ghost will remind you that you have promised to remember the Savior and obey the commandments of God. As you listen to those promptings, choose the right (CTR) and strive to obey the will of your Father in Heaven you will always have this priceless gift to help you make good choices.

I hope the feelings you experienced today will have an enduring influence throughout your life. Here are a few special photographs to help you keep this memory alive.

JUST ME AND THE GIRLS

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls!

New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

BACK TO SCHOOL 2012.

Woa, I'm already school shopping?!  How is it possible that the summer is gone and school is upon us already?   I may not be ready for the kids to go back to school quite yet (I want more vacation time ) but they are.   Now that the kids have met their teachers (we got lucky, everyone is thrilled with their teacher choice) and have reacquainted themselves with friends they are ready to begin a new school year.  Britley is a THIRD grader this year. She is extremely bright and ready to get to work. Breeley is a FIFTH grader.   I can't believe it!  She makes friends easily and is happy to meet her "new friends". Dawson is in 8th grade.   This will be his last year of Jr. High!  Oh boy- I'm sure he will make it a memorable year (His poor teachers).  He happens to be the "funny kid" in school.  We've gotten to know all his teachers a little more than we would have liked to. Wesley is a Sophomore in High Sch
