Alexa's Baptism

Sunday June 28th Alexa decided after a couple of months of being saved, it was time for baptism. I was so excited, but a little apprehensive on whether or not she would actually go through with it. Usually though Alexa puts lots of thoughts into her decisions and doesn't back out. She was so excited and wanted to do it in the evening service for some reason. Well it was the Lord's Supper that night, so Pastor decided to open the service with the baptism which I thought was neat and then she would be able to take her first Lord's Supper. So that is what we did! She was so brave and never wavered in her decision. Not to mention all that practicing she had been doing in her pool and bathtub! Bro. Ron did the baptism and she did perfect and we are so very proud our little girl...who isn't so little anymore...sniff...sniff!

Trip to Arkansas to see Nana and Papa

We left to go to my mom and dad's house (Nana and Papa) on June 5th for a visit, and to see my cousin get married. We stayed a week and had a wonderful time visiting with relatives, friends, and my parents. The girls stayed behind on Friday and Santiago, Caleb and I came home. Then mom, dad, and the girls headed to Colorado that Saturday. They took two days to make the long trip to a beautiful ranch in Durango, CO. They stayed at a huge house with my Aunt, Uncle, their grand-daughter and daughter. They went and saw sites, shows, ate wonderful food and shopped. The girls had the most wonderful time. They just got back today (23rd) and are so tired and are now able to crash, but I am so happy they were able to go and have this wonderful experience. I don't have any pics yet from Durango, but when I do I will post.

Alexa's haircut

Alexa decided to cut her long hair and donate it to locks of love. So her teacher came and cut it for us and we sent off 13 inches. She loves her new haircut and how cool it is in this hot weather!
