Baptism Plans

Well, Lexi will be turning eight on the 12th of February. We have been able to make special arrangements so Grandma and Grandpa Marks can come down from Sandpoint. She will be baptized at 9:00 on Saturday the 14th. I think it will be a perfect day. Lexi has such a big heart and what a better day than Valentine's to be baptized on? We are so proud of her. The other night she was talking to her cousin Kassidy, who was just recently baptized, and she asked if it felt fresh when she came out of the water. It was so cute. I remember feeling fresh and clean when I was baptized.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We had a very interesting Christmas this year. There was a huge snow storm and Shawn and I both have to remove snow with our jobs. Shawn was called out to plow at 5:00 in the morning. He got to come home for an hour and we opened presents and had breakfast and then back to work. He put in 18 hours Christmas day. I had to do snow removal here at the apartments so that was kinda lame. After I was done the kids and I went to the $ movie and saw High School Musical 3. It was fun. Santa spoiled the kids. Good thing for Santa 'cause for some reason at Christmas we are just always strapped for cash. :-) New Years came with another snow storm, so again out to push and plow. New Year's Eve was fun we went to Shawn's mom and dad's and had a sleepover with all the cousins. Played games and got bruised up playing spoons. :-) We are all ready for the kids so go back to school tomorrow. It will be nice to get back into the regular life routine again.
