A special day.

 Today was such a special day. And special twice over.

My Kylee and Brandon made the decision to be baptized.

Words can't express how much I love these two that my heavenly father put in my care.

Kylee was beyond excited. And in true Kylee fashion, she let everyone know it was her special day.

She was beaming ear to ear as she came out of the water, and then watched her brothers baptism.

Brandon was  a little more quiet about his day. But you could feel his peaceful countenance as he too made the decision to be baptized.

 My sweet twins.

I am so grateful for this little family of mine.

I was lucky enough to have Hanna, Sandy, and Joey come up.

All of the Ellis clan came as well to join in the special day.

I am so thankful for my family, and the support we have. I love this gospel, and that this family is mine forever.

Dresses and Kitties...

 Eight is a big age in our household. It is the age that we get to be baptized.

So I took Kylee out to shop for her baptism dress.

We had so much fun! It really gave me a glimpse of life in the future, doing this for her wedding, and freaked me out some, but still had a blast with my little girl. She tried on about 10, we narrowed it down to these three...

She was pretty sure she wanted the one with the pink bow. We went back out to see if we could find some shoes, and she spotted one more dress...

 And this was the ONE. She was beeming and there was no turning back!

We have turned into a different family with a pet in the house.

I am pretty smitten by this little 1LB kitten.

Kylee is quite the mom. Cried the first week when I wouldn't let her sleep with it.

I finally caved...

Little Lizzy is the center of attention around here, and poor thing hardly gets put down for a second!

How could you not. Look at that cute face!

Caden's baptism.

Today was a special day for our family.
Most importantly it was a special day for Caden.
Caden was baptized a member of our church today. I couldn't be more proud.

He was beeming ear to ear. The spirit was so strong. I love this gospel and the way it makes me and my family feel. It's amazing.

We were lucky enough to have all of the Ellis family out to witness it.

We also had some of the Willardson side, Holly and Garrett, and my dad was able to make it!
This was the family clan!

Willardson family:

And my little family. I am so proud of Caden and his decision to be baptized. I am so lucky that this little family that Ryan and I have created have the opportunity to be together forever.

And man, I really love my children and their awesome ability to take great pictures.
I have learned to embrace them though. They make for great memories.:)
