It's GREAT to be 8

(thanks to Jamie for these simply perfect invitations)

This day has been anticipated by us all for quite some time now.

WOW was it a special day!

We were waiting for all to arrive...

We shared this baptism daywith our next door neighbor,

Summer and her family. Her grandma gave the baptism talk,

and Grandma Asplund gave the Holy Ghost talk.
She shared the importance of following the

promptings of the spirit, just like Lehi

followed the Liahona and was guided in the

right direction.

Grandma Frankie gave a beautiful opening

prayer, took LOTS of picture for us

(thank you) and brought ALL the

GIANT sandwhiches to feed our large

crowd afterwards. She is amazing and we soo

appreciate her love and support!

Our beautiful girl SOO clean and pure

She got her very own engraved scriptures (from mom/dad),

a beautiful bracelet & journal (thanks gma and gpa)

and this VERY cute scripture bag (thanks AUntie Karli).

She also got several other fun gifts, since this was

a baptism/birthday family party.

we really appreciated all the support from our families,

to travel the distance and help out in so many ways
to make this day soo special for OUR girl!

all the cousins who were able to come show their

excitment for Ame's BIG day!

Ame's 2 primary teachers were wonderful to come

and support her as well, and one of them brought

this AWESOME scripture cake.

(it was much better looking than mom's #8 cake)

Sunday Ame got introduced as the

NEWEST member by the Bishop, got

to sit on the stand and she even

CHOSE to be the very first

to share her testimony.
What an amazing girl!

We LOVE you & are so PROUD of you

*Ame'lia*

We are excited to see your beautiful spirit

continue to blossom and grow!

MY turn...

Kaipo is ALWAYS complaining that Ame gets invited to do SOO many more things than him, including birthday parties. So needless to say he was VERY excited to get HIS turn and invited to a birthday party. This little boy is Hunter and he has a twin sister, they are in Kaipo's primary class, YES Kaipo's! Even though he is the same size as Ash!! The party was at LITTLE GYM and the

kids had a blast!

I told Kaipo since he was starting school this year and

would be making lots of new friends, if HE is a good friend

he just might get invited to more parties?!
