Jolie's Christmas Dance 2011

Jolie started this year taking up at the Solomon Center with Riley. It's been a little bit more driving, but It's nice that both girls performed their dances in the morning. Her dance was at Fremont High School and she danced to "Wonderful Christmas Time".  Afterward she told me that she really likes dance now! It has only taken her 3 years to say that!

Rebecca's Baptism January 3rd 2009

Well another one of our children entered the waters of baptism. I can't believe how proud I am of her making this commitment to her Heavenly Father. She was prepared to make it thanks to the help of the Ward Missionaries the Montgomery's for coming over and giving her the discussions. I can't believe how cute she was all dressed in white and beaming from ear to ear. I gave her the primary song book and had her choose all of the songs that we would sing. She ended up choosing a lot of christmas songs ( Which I loved hearing again) due to poor planning on my part I ended up leading the music while my sister Melanie played the piano. Bishop Saunders was there presiding which I thought was very nice. We had met with him the day before at the Seminary building of the highschool to get Rebecca's interview.
The Baptism was supposed to begin at 3:30, but due to a funeral they moved it back to 4pm. Unfortunately the family ran into a traffic jam caused by a fatal accident and we did not begin the baptism until 4pm...I want to thank everyone for their patience.. Grandma Ballard gave the talk on Baptism and Grandma Lamoreaux gave the talk on the Holy Ghost. They both did a really great job! After the baptism we had a get together at our house with soup and breadsticks. Grandma and Grandpa Lamoreaux could not make it, because of having to drive in the dark.. They did give Rebecca her baptism gift before they left. She had been looking forward to it all week. After the get together that night we opened the gift which was a new set of scriptures.. What a great day it turned out to be.. Congratulations Rebecca!

Christmas 2008

Well Christmas has come and gone. A lot of fun we had with family and friends. It was nice for me not being pregnant this year to be able to do Christmas Cards to all the people that we have known over the years. And for us as a family to go out and Carol. It was great to see the surprised look on the peoples faces. The girls did complain of the cold! this year we bought the girls their own Christmas trees to hang their ornaments on, So our Big tree looked rather bare. I also took each of the kids individually to the store to get each others gifts. Then they took turns helping me wrap them. We spent Christmas EVE at Grandma and Grandpa Lamoreaux's house where we had the usual Christmas Program. Of course this year instead of reading the Littlest Snowman we had the kids act it out.. Christmas day we enjoyed the morning opening gifts. Riley was excited to get a real camera instead of the toy one she has been using for over a year now. She also got a hand held harp that she can play. Rebecca got a huge remote control car from Santa. And a race to the mall car track from Mom and Dad. Jolie got a Hello Kitty Radio from Santa, and Art supplies from Mom and Dad. Last, but not least Sam got a fish aquarium for nights and a Basketball hoop for the days..This year Michelle got a Kareoke Machine that so far has been a huge hit with the family. After opening gifts we went to Grandma and Grandpa Ballards for a brunch and enjoyed spending the day with them. Of course our favorite day was the day spent after Christmas opening the gifts and actually being able to use them.. We hope that you have all enjoyed Christmas as well..
