A Busy, but Fun Week

I wrote this post many weeks ago, the news is so old, but I decided to post it anyways.

So in the last week we have had many things to be thankful for. First of which Kennedi became the newest member of our ward. She was baptized on January 31st at 3:30pm. She was smiling so big all day and she kept asking me "what time is it," or "how much longer." I love that she was so excited. Earlier in the month when we were talking about getting baptized Brad challenged Kennedi to pray about whether or not Heavenly Father wanted her to get baptized. So she did. She came back with a positive answer that nothing would make Him happier. After her baptism we invited all of our family back to our house for Hawaiian Haystacks and Cinnimon Rolls. It's always fun to get together with family.

These two pictures were taken by my friend Casey, great job my friend.





The next Wednesday was Brads birthday. We didn't celebrate to much because I had a parents meeting that same night for Kennedi's dance company, but the kids had fun choosing gifts to give to him and we sang and had chocolate cupcakes later that night.

The Friday following that Wednesday was Trista's birthday. The kids had early out that day, but Kennedi's dance showcase was that day also so we had to find something that we could do that would be but also not to time consuming because we had to be at the Red Barn @ Thanksgiving Point by 2:00. So we went to the mall and got pretzels and cheese dip and played on the new playground for awhile. The kids had a ton of fun.

Like I said before, Kennedi's showcase was that night and her company was so good and their costumes were really cute. They danced big and had smiles on their faces the whole time and really got the crowd going with their dances, expecially with their Hip Hop dance. If I knew how to put video on here I would but until then I only have this one picture.

After they were done dancing we went out to eat at JCW's (Trista's pick) for her birthday with Grandma and Grandpa Childs, who also came and watched Kennedi dance.

What A week! Sometimes I complain about how busy we are, but I kind of like it. Someone told me that it's better to be busy than to be board. I quite agree. Plus I am giving my kids skills that they could potentially use later in their lives.
