Busy Weekend

The weekend actually started on Thursday with Anna's 8th Bday. My parents and brother flew down and we had a great day. She wanted KFC for her birthday dinner, so we took it to the park and did some fishing. My brother helped Anna catch her first fish on her birthday, it was quite exciting.

She is very in to Disney Fairies, so a lot of her gifts were Tinkerbell things, including her ice cream cake.

I'm not really into character decor, so I made her this magnet board that had just a touch of Tinkerbell.

The 4th!

The next day was the 4th of July! We went to the Stadium of Fire in Provo (we have been anticipating it since April, I think) The main attraction this year was Miley Cyrus. We were so excited, thinking she would sing Hannah Montana songs or at least Miley songs we knew. Wrong. It was actually disappointing. The sound was terrible, you couldn't hear her voice very well over the background music. AND she sang songs from her brand new album that no one knew. It was actually boring until the last 2 songs when she sang something familiar. Too bad. BUT, the fireworks were amazing as usual.

Then we topped off the weekend with Anna's baptism. It was such a neat day. I couldn't believe my little girl was getting baptized. We taught her about the commitments she would be making and let her make her own decision. She said she prayed about it and knew that was what Heavenly Father wanted her to do. There was just a sweet spirit there. My mom and sister-in-law Holly gave great talks. My Dad teared up. And my little girl got baptized. In a small way she looks older to me now. I am so happy for her, but reluctant to let her grow up. The time goes too fast.
