Grace and Lucy went on a lovely stroll parading pink parasols down the streets of Alexandria. They also enjoyed a fabulous frosted cupcake at Buzz Bakery. How divine!

Cousin Time!
Grace thoroughly enjoyed her time with the Little cousins. She played her little heart out for 5 days and probably would have like to stay forever.

My New Nephew

I got to meet my sister's new little man, Calvin last week. This sweet little springtime chick was born into a family of three mama hens, that is he has three big sisters to watch over him!

Sam's Baptism
Sam's Baptsim: March 27, 2011
We headed south to Utah to hold the baptismal ceremony with family.
Lots of family showed up for the baptism including Great Grandpa Fullmer!
Mike baptized and confirmed Sam a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Uncle Ben spoke and Jared gave the opening prayer.
Uncle Jordan and Audrey performed a beautiful strings duet of
"I am a Child of God."
I accompanied them on the piano.
Grandma Christensen gave the closing prayer. She also made wonderful Mexican food that we ate after the baptsim.
I’m trying to be like Jesus;
I’m following in his ways.
I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,
I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,
Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”
I’m trying to love my neighbor;
I’m learning to serve my friends.
I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.
I try to remember the lessons he taught.
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:
I’m learning to serve my friends.
I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.
I try to remember the lessons he taught.
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:
Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”

Fancy Sam
Sam calls himself "Fancy Sam" whenever he is dressed in his Sunday best. I recently snapped some pics of him to display at his baptism. He really enjoyed his photo shoot. Can you tell?
