Birthdays and Baptisms



This has been a crazy weekend but it was a blast. We had Millie's 3rd Birthday Party this weekend followed by Reed's Baptism. The best part was we had 13 family members drive all the way from Indiana to join us on this very special and busy weekend. Saturday morning started off with Millie's party and it was the first big event where we got to use our new deck and screen porch Rick built for us (thanks sweetie). I think the biggest hit of the party was the watermelon that my dad brought down from his farm followed closely by Ann's wonderful ladybug cupcakes she made for Millie. If you are in the Knoxville area you have to try her baking, she's great!

After all the jumping, playing, eating and presents, it was a quick clean up and then to church followed by Reed's Baptism. All three kids (Millie, Reed and my nephew Jacob) did great during church considering 2 of the 3 were high on sugar and had no nap. Reed only whined a little during his first sacrament and all went well. He even practiced a little preaching for when he becomes a Priest?

Then, back to our house to enjoy another one of Ann's wonderful desserts. It was a great weekend and I am so fortunate that so many of our family could share it with us.

You are so sweet to talk up the cupcakes and to link my website to your blog. Thank you!!!! The picture of Reed at the pulpit is laugh out loud funny. We miss you seeing you all every Wednesday. Hope to see you soon.

Did you know that Rick was approached by a Father about entering the priesthood?
