Ashley was baptized two weeks ago. Here she is just before getting wet with Steve:

Here she is in the dress that I made for her to wear after the baptism. I’m pretty proud of my handiwork- I’m no Char afterall.

I can’t believe how big she is! I can’t believe that I’m old enough to have an eight year old.  I vividly remember my baptism and how old I felt.  I thought I was so grown up.

We had a great day.  There were lots of friends and family who came to her big day and I gave the talk on the Holy Ghost.  There were 8 other eight year olds getting baptized the same time as her. We of course had a big party afterwards at our house and grilled chicken, teriaki salmon and hot dogs. I made a chocolate cake too- but I didn’t get a picture of it.
