Heidi Gets Baptized and Thomas Gets Blessed

Heidi was baptized on April 25th. We were so proud of her decision to be baptized and her preparation to be ready for this big step. 

She is a mature and special girl and we love her so much. 

A couple weeks prior to her big day, we went to the UK Arboretum so Daddy could take some pictures of her in her baptism dress.

We were so grateful and humble for the support of family and friends.

And having Grandma and Grandpa Clayton come out was SO wonderful. We loved having the special support of family. They each gave a talk which was wonderful.

And since we had Grandma and Grandpa visiting all the way from Utah, we decided to have Thomas blessing the following morning. It was such a sweet blessing and wonderful day to celebrate this sweet boy. 

Can't believe these cute kids are all mine.

Grateful for my family. Mothering four little ones is stretching and growing me in ways that I didn't even expect. I'm grateful for the enabling power of the atonement to help me slowly and a day at a time become the mother that Heavenly Father wants me to be. These kids teach me so much.
