We headed to the valley this morning.  Addy's baptism is scheduled for 3:00.  Our first stop was at Elmer's Tacos in Chandler for lunch.  We were both excited to get machaca burros, our favorite!  James also got a machaca taco.  Yummy!
I dropped James off at the house so he could fix the leak in the pool pump while I went to do a little shopping.  I went to Deseret Book to get an Ardeth Kapp book to give Laura for her birthday then I went to Target to get Addy a Barbie suitcase and some chips for her party after the baptism.  Made it home just in time to get ready. 
One of the things that I love about the gospel is who it brings families together for special occasions like this.  Tricia was here from Texas with her four kids.  Jared had to stay home and work.  Also there from our family: Paul, Stacy, Adam, Dallin, Michael, Joshua, Kim and Joe.  Brian was in Denver this weekend.  Ian, Sheri, Alex, Ben, Max and Evan, Darrel's family, James and I, and Trina's family except for Westley. 
Darrel did a great job with the confirmation and special blessing and Addy was beautiful and glowing!
Before Baptism.
After Baptism.
She loved her scriptures.
Addy with her family.
After the baptism we all went back to Darrel & Trina's for fun and food.  We had BBQ with rolls, veggies, watermelon, chips, and yummy desserts.  The kids had a great time playing together.
Addy was so happy to see her cousins Anna and Emmy.
These two (Molly & Ruby) made friends with each other.
Love that Rowan smile.

It was a fun and special day.  Molly entertained us by doing some cheers.  She learned them from Anna and Emmy who are cheerleaders for James's football team.  She was hilarious and really quite good.  She knew the words and all the moves.  I am grateful for these family times together.
Ben and Max were so happy to see their cousin James.
