I can't believe I haven't blogged about this yet. Thanks to Kim for posting about Kaylee's she reminded me to do it :)
Crystal too is on the ball with writing about her son, I will get there.
It was so neat to have family and friends come down for the special day. Bella has been waiting for this day for a year. Benjamin and I have also been doing last minute cramming making sure Bella remembers everything that she has learned. First and foremost that after baptism she can always repent when she does something she knows is not right, and that those mistakes can be forgiven too. What a comfort that it doesn't have to last only a day.
Bella was baptised in the dress that I was baptised in and she and I made the dress she wore afterwards.
After the baptism we went over to Kartchner ponds for a barbecue, and thanks to cousin Madison a swim too. She went in the water and started the trend. The kids had a blast.
Mothers note to Bella:
Bella we love you so very much! You are the perfect older sister, always lovingly helping your younger siblings who adore you and you genuinely adore them too! Thanks so much for being an awesome example of always looking on the sunny side of life, your attitude is contagious! Keep up the great job we have all the confidence in you! XXXXOOOO

That was a great day and Bella is a wonderful girl!
Congrats to Bella! Shane is so excited. Every FHE we have some lesson that ties in Baptism in some way. #5 for us is on it's way. Just found out today. If all goes well and our thinking is correct, should join our family end of January or beginning of February if it's anything like my other week late kids ;-) You have to post how your are doing... Hope all is well.
Congrats to Bella! So sad that we don't live close by to enjoy these moments but I think of you all often! :)
Wow! I can't believe I was actually a motivation to remember to write! I am never on the ball ;) (see my late post, this applies to doing things as well as being places. lol)
I love you guys!
What a wonderful time it was! So special for Bella. We love you all so much! The ponds were cool too, even JJ and the dead racoon.
Do I want to know what Grandpa Howe is talking about with JJ and the dead racoon?
Sounds interesting to say the least.
Wow! These girls are growing up sooo fast! I still can remember our play dates with Bella and Kaylee sitting on the blanket and playing with toys.....it seems sometimes like they are 8 going on 18! Bella is so pretty in her dress, you are a talented mom!
