Kailyn's Baptism

Wow! Can you believe we already have an 8 year old? She is such a great young lady too. She has been SOOOO excited for her baptism, mentioning it any chance she can. I found this white dress on clearance after Easter and it has been hanging in her closet since. She would often take it out to look at or to show to anyone willing to look.

I'm so glad she is our oldest. She is a great example to her younger sisters and brothers. She is amazing at sharing and looking out for them. She is pretty easy going and is good at find things to do (of course the default is reading).

We were able to have both sets of grandparents and Aunt Megan come for the Baptism. Kailyn planned her whole program picking the songs and assigning everyone with something to do. She did a great job.

Grandpa Bassett spoke at Kailyn's baptism about baptism. Grandpa Jones spoke about the gift of the Holy Ghost. They both did an amazing job, the spirit was so strong.

Kailyn loves to pose for pictures.

Kailyn with her dad in their baptismal clothing. Ken did a good job at making sure Kailyn went all of the way under the water. Kailyn said that the water felt really good (it was nice and warm) and wished she could stay in longer.


With everyone in town we decided to show them a little of our new town. One of our stops was to show everyone the falls.



The girls playing on the rocks and looking at this nasty water that had settled on the rocks.


Poor Chase had to be the one to actually fall into the yucky water.


Even with this wet back end, Chase was hardly phased and didn't let it ruin his fun.


Within minutes of getting there Caden made friends with this little boy. They walked all over the rocks together.


Checking out the falls.

Grandma and Grandpa Jones decided to treat everyone to some ice cream. Of course the kids had to pick the most colorful ice cream they had, which promptly turned the kids mouth and teeth blue.


Jordan didn't care about turning blue, all she knew was it tasted really good.


Chase saw someone there using a spoon,  so, of course, he had to get one, too.

Grandma and Grandpa Bassett

This last weekend Grandma and Grandpa Bassett were able to come for a quick visit.  We were so glad to have them come.  The visit was lots of fun but way too short.  We thought they were going to be able to stay a little longer when the interstate closed; unfortunately, the roads reopened later that day.  The kids were very disappointed to see them go.   The kids had school off Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Monday.  It was great having grandparents here for part of the time to help with cabin fever.  I think everyone was glad when school started up again on Tuesday.  We were all getting major cabin fever since it was too cold to go outside.



Ava looks SO tiny in her carseat.


 Our cutie.

Grandma Bassett

We were so lucky to have Grandma Bassett come out to visit. We loved having her. It was so nice having an extra set of hands. The kids loved having grandma here. Anytime you want to come and visit again, we would love to have you Grandma.

Reading stories after naps.

Kailyn making Valentines for school.

While Grandma was here we went to Lowes and made Valentine's Day boxes. The kids loved it. The boxes turned out very cute and it was free.




Grandma watched the kids one night so Ken and I could go on a date. For dinner Grandma opened the fridge and said the kids could have whatever they wanted. Here is what they came up with. The middle is a tortilla with sour cream and cheese. The kids ate all of it.

Chase is somewhat of a fussy baby. He loves to be swaddled and held. If he is not being held this is what he often looks like.

I had the camera out to take some pictures of Chase. Caden said, "Take a picture of me."
