Elise's Baptism cont'd

It was also really cool that Elise got to be baptized along with her two very close friends, Addie and Avery Davis. They were all three in the hospital together as newborns. Their mother, Angie Davis, and I grew up here together in Raleigh.

Elise's Baptism

Elise was baptized on February 14, 2009. She was so lucky to have 2 sets of grandparents there.

Elise's 8th Birthday

Elise turned 8 in February. For her birthday party, we did a hair salon, complete with stylists, manicures, etc. She also cut her hair for Locks for Love. She cut 10 inches off. All the girls had a manicure and their hair done. As you can tell, one of the manicurists was Les (he was kind enough to help out). Of course Evan insisted on a manicure as well. However, he only wanted a boy color, blue. Ironic.

House for Sale!

We decided to sell our house. Sometimes Heavenly Father has plans for you that you may not understand, but you still follow because you know it is the right thing to do. We sold it in July. We were lucky enough to sell it to a great family.

HSM Forever!

A once in a life-time chance, a tour of East High (from High School Musical), courtesy of Aunt Cho (who worked there). Amazing moments included reliving the cafeteria dance scenes, sitting in the drama club classroom, and touching Sharpay's locker. We will never forget!

Draper Temple Open House

Additional highlight... the Draper Temple Open House. What a great thing for my kids to experience.

Ice Skating with the Family

More winter sports in Utah. Everyone went ice skating, including 2 year olds and 60 year olds.
