Kids Grow Up Way Too Fast!

Last Saturday was Abby's 8th birthday, and she got to be baptized on her birthday. It's crazy that she is growing up so fast. It was such a wonderful day! We filled the font room to overflowing with the most supportive family and friends. We are truly blessed to have you all! I teased Abby a little about how they might have to let out some of the water or she would be baptized just by walking into the baptismal font. That wasnt' the case--she was just a few inches taller than the water :). Notice that the smallest clothes were WAY too long for her shorty legs. It's no wonder her nickname is "Littles." We love her!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that she also had to get glasses last week. She looks way too grown up now!



Also this week Jayde got her braces put on. She looks so much like a little pre-teen now. About 3 hours after she got them on, she wanted very badly to have them taken off. The next morning I had to convince her that she would still be able to eat. Today she is doing much better--the orthodontist gave her a water pic that she used last night. She said it felt like a massage and made her mouth feel so much better. I never wore braces, so all I can do is hug her and tell her I'm sorry it hurts. She'll get through it--she is super tough. She told me, "Mom, it really hurts to be beautiful!" What a silly kid!
