Mary's Baptism

We started the morning with a hike at the Britt Garden's. It was beautiful. Then we prepped for the baptism. I had a few assignments to get done since I usually have responsibilities for stake baptisms. Mary looked so angelic and I of course kept reflecting on her beautiful soul, hardly believing she was old enough for this important step. Steve's talk was really very beautiful as well as Aaron's confirmation. Aaron also baptized another little girl that he and the missionaries have been working with. After family photos Margaret, Steve, and our little family went out to dinner together. It was a wonderful family milestone.

What a Catch!

Aaron and Steve left before the kids and I were awake to go on a guided fishing trip. They caught two huge fish. We got to keep the smaller one, which will make for a great meal on Sunday.

While the boys were fishing Margaret and I went to the final assembly of the year to see Mary get an AR (reading) award. Then we walked with Noah's class to their park field trip. Noah's sweet teacher took the time to play a little game of tag and I loved spending time with Margaret.

They're Here!

Grammie and Papa Steve arrived today! Hooray! Margaret got to baking and soon the smell of fresh bread and cinnamon rolls filled the air. They also presented Mary with her birthday present...a beautiful set of scriptures with her name on it. Margaret shared the poem she wrote with all of us and Steve took Mary aside and talked to her about the treasure of scriptures and Moroni's promise. It was so lovely and thoughtful.

Nikki's Imagination

We've been cleaning and prepping for Aaron's parents' arrival and the end of school year party. While I have been working Nicole has been setting up her little family all around the house. I love listening to the conversations she dreams up. It's so cute. And on a very very happy note. I finally feel like my allergies are under a wrap, and just in time because I need the energy to get stuff done.

One Last Playdate

Christine had a bunch of Bjorge kids over for one last playdate of the year..and the last ride on the kindergarten bus for Noah. So sad to see it end. It's been a remarkable year. (He also really needs a hair cut!)

New Plants

Today we removed the dead rosemary plants in the front of our house along with those spiky plants I really don't love. We bought and planted several today that I can't remember the name of. It looks clean and fresh, maybe a little sparse for now, but I have a feeling it's going to be awesome very soon!

Family Dinner for May Babies

Tonight we officially celebrated Tiff and my mom's birthdays. It's always such a treat getting together and sharing in the meal responsibilities. These are two remarkable women.
