We want Spring!

March tricked us with a few days of nice weather, but then we have had lots of storms and more to come. We are all ready for spring weather!

We celebrated Hanna's 8th birthday! We went to Sizzler for dinner, went swimming at the high school for her friend birthday party, and she got scriptures for birthday gift. We love having Hanna in our family!!!

HANNA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

Hanna got baptized 4 days after her birthday. Grandpa and Grandma were able to come from Canada. Lots of family came from my side of the family, too. It was a great day. Hanna was showered with gifts. Thanks to everyone! Aunt Sarah sewed Hanna's beautiful white baptism dress. Today she asked me if she could wear it to school. I told her that would be like me wearing my wedding dress to the grocery store.

OUR FAMILY AT THE BAPTISM


Grandpa and Grandma brought down our two horses that we bought the horse sale in Canada last August. Jill's horse is Lena and Hanna's is Spurs. They have been to see them everyday so they can become good friends.

Great post and great pictures. Did I ever tell you that I cried when I realized that we didn't take a picture of our family on Ben's baptism day? I'm over it now. Almost. :)

I laughed at your "wedding dress to the grocery store" quote. You're funny.

You have been busy! It really is hard to believe Hanna is 8 years old. I didn't even think to take a family picture - good job!
