8th Birthday and Baptism

My little peanut turned 8 this year. 
I just cant believe it. I swear not long ago she was a little chubby cheeked baby!!
8 years of birthdays!!
She took cupcakes to school on Friday.
Saturday morning which was her birthday Tammy and Steve took her to breakfast with Grandpa Ken (Tammys step dad) at Cracker Barrel.  We picked up her cake. Went and got her birthday boots and then got her ready for her baptism! 
She has been wanting to get baptized for 2 years now. She goes to church every Sunday with Tammy. The missionaries even came and gave her the discussions (because they were completely bored and needed people to teach haha)
She has been so excited and waiting so long to turn 8
Of course she got a special dress just for the occasion! Grandpa Roy was able to baptize and confirm her.
Here we are before the dunk


 Grandpa Todd, Daddy, and Great Grandpa Roy
 all changed and ready!


 She had so many people there! Aunt Kathy gave the opening prayer. Grandma Kathy gave a talk on baptism. Uncle Danny and Rod Mund were witnesses. Kris Zobell gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and Grandma Tammy gave the closing prayer. It was a really nice baptism. Someone (who didnt know us all) made the comment wholly cow there are a lot of people in that room for her baptism. Chris turned to them and said "Yeah and thats all immediate family! There are only 3 or 4 people who are friends!" ha they didnt know what to think.
After the baptism we went and change clothes and went to Todd and Janas her birthday dinner.
Kennedy loves my 'special nachos' which really is like a taco salad.. so we cooked a bunch of taco meat before hand and just let it stay warm in the crock pot and had a big taco bar. Hard shells, soft shells, taco chips... If you wanted it we had it!
Briggs was loving the food.. and his Pepsi
.

 Birthday girl and Rybug
 No trick candles this time!
 We had cake and ice cream, Uncle Derek gave her birthday spankins
 and then she was dying to open her baptism and birthday presents.
She got some really neat gifts and she took the time to read every card first and out loud to us all.

She had a great birthday and baptism! She is one loved little girl! Thank you so much to everyone who came to support her. It mean the world!!
