Hannah and the rest of the Gang!

Well again I have been slow at updating the blog. This past March was an exciting one for our family. Hannah turned 8 on March 6th. We had a small family party and went to build a bear for Hannah to make a new bear. The real excitement came on March 20th when Hannah was baptized. My entire family came into town for this special occasion. My mom, dad, sister and her entire family were here. Many friends came to witness Hannah's baptism. I was a little worried at first when Hannah put on her white jumpsuit to be baptized she was pretty upset. She did not like the jumpsuit and was worried how she looked ( I had no idea she was so vain). After a little time alone and talking with the Bishop she emerged happy and ready to be baptized. As I watched my youngest daughter and oldest son in the baptismal font I could not have been a prouder mother. It was a very special day and was made even more special that Christopher was able to perform the baptism. After the baptism and wonderful food we ventured to Fort Pickens. Hannah could not wait to go there she had been talking about going and taking everyone since the first time we went. We had a great time exploring and showing the our family the sights of this historical area.

This past April Carissa returned to college. This time was a little different not taking her up there. She has matured so much and seems to be having a great time at school and making many new friends and even seems to be squeezing in some dates along the way. We miss her tons but I know this is the place for her to be!

Christopher was inducted into the National Honor Society at school this past April. We could not be prouder of him and all his accomplishments.

Matt has started a new job and seems to be loving the fact that he is not the boss. He has had to travel a few times all ready and I am sure there will be many more times he will have to venture to someplace new.
