Kaylee's 8th Birthday

So kaylee had her birthday on the 2nd of September. We took the Frontrunner and went down to Downtown SLC to meet with Jorge. Then we took her to eat at The Garden on top of the Joseph Smith Building. No one was there so we had the place to ourselves and we enjoyed an early dinner with her. After we ate, our waitress gave kaylee a balloon and little paper to write down a wish and then they opened the roof so that kaylee could let go her balloon with her wish attached to it. Later we left and gave kaylee her birthday present. We went to the Gateway and got the kids some chocolate treats at the cute chocolate store and they have there. We also got some cookied from the cookie store at the gateway, they have the best cookies in town.

Kaylee's Baptism

Kaylee got baptised!! It happened on Saturday September 3,2011. She looked beautiful in her white dress. She was nervous and so was I. Everything turned out wonderful. The Program at the stake center was great and our wards primary president did such a good job with the little program our ward had after the baptisms. I was caught by surprise because they asked me to bear my testimony. It was a great opportunity to bear my testimony with all my family there and to tell kaylee specifically how much I love her and how proud I am for her baptism and to share my testimony directly to her. I felt the Holy Ghost so strongly that I was a mess crying everywhere. It was a special day for my family.

Kaylee's good friend Taylor also was baptised on that same day. They were able to sit together during the opening program. Then each ward had their own baptism and confirmation program.

After the baptism everyone came over our house to have a light luncheon. Everything turned out very good and we all had a great time together.
