Hello everyone!!  How was your weekend?  We are finally getting spring weather, it’s so nice to be able to send the kids outside and let them play and run out some energy!  We had a busy weekend.  We had a baptism for my oldest son on Saturday and then on Sunday we had my little baby’s blessing.  It was great to be surrounded by family for the weekend.  

Our little branch building doesn’t have a baptismal font.  Usually we go to another church 45 minutes away for baptisms but not many of the branch members were going to be able to attend if we did it there.  So we improvised and had it at our building, in a stock tank.  Oh the joys of living on a ranch 🙂

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all of your Mothers out there!!  I hope that you feel loved and appreciated today!  And that you have been treated like a queen, because you deserve it!
Thanks to everyone who linked up last week.  Here are a few that caught my eye.

    What a creative baptism and memories that your family will always cherish! My little girl is getting baptized in two weeks. I am so excited for her to experience the baptism as well as receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. What a special age! Congrats to your family!
