Kellie's Baptism

We all gathered at the church to watch our cute niece be baptized on Saturday. I was so impressed with all the little cousin's patiently waiting for Kellie's turn because anything could have happened while the four other baptisms were being performed. And these sweet little kids were practically perfect... as if we normally get so lucky at church :)

After the speakers, musical numbers, baptism, confirmation and lots of family pictures, we headed off to eat and expend some of that extra energy... It didn't take long for some mischief to happen since while at dinner, Cody grabbed my drink and was shocked at how cold ice water can be as it is pouring all over you (and me!) What a curious little boy, but luckily with the warm weather outside my clothes dried pretty quickly. Maybe I'll have to start carrying around a "just in case" outfit for me as well as one for each of the kids.

The rest of the evening we spent at Rochelle's house. We talked and had amazing Pavlova as the kids swam in the pool. Taylor sat for over an hour playing with her cousin's zhu zhu collection. She was hooked, especially with the baby hamsters :)

Jena spent all her time in the pool. I don't even think she had dessert, all she wanted was to be in the water. She and Olivia were the last ones in the pool and finally had to be coaxed out of it when all the older kids left. This girl is definitely our water baby.

After the zhu zhu pets, Taylor found another one of her favorite things to play with... her Uncle Bart.

Lastly, I couldn't resist one more picture of this little man. He is the sweetest thing and was so happy with everyone running all around him.

Congratulations Kellie on making such a wonderful decision to be baptized and for inviting us to celebrate with you! We love you girl!
