"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

8 is Great!

I finally feel old. My baby is eight----EIGHT!!!! Oh my goodness! Delainee is an absolute angel--literally! To get ready for her Baptism we headed out with Kayleen Theobald to do a photoshoot---and the pictures turned out AWESOME!

Delainee is so excited to get baptized. She was so excited to go pick out brand new scriptures. She was VERY picky and wanted the small quad (BLUE) with NO snap! Her name is soooo long that it barely fits across the front! Other than scriptures her only other request for her birthday was an ipod---like DADDY'S!!! Ummmm, not quite prepared for that yet, but hopefully birthday number eight is memorable for her. She got to stay home from school a day early to go to lunch (she chose pizza at Costco) and to go shopping for some new clothes (she chose Old Navy). We also spent MUCH dilemma over what treats to take to school to share with her classmates. Final verdict: mini brownies from Costco!

She says she doesn't want a birthday cake, but wants Pioneer Woman's Best Chocolate Sheet Cake EVER served at her Celebration Luncheon---her wish is my commmand (and Aunt Shelby's as well! Ü)

Delainee has always been a special little girl--since the moment she arrived in this world 12 weeks premature! In a house with two crazies like Laetner and Waverly, I appreciate all the more how helpful, considerate, sensitive, and the CALM that our princess Delainee brings to our family. She gets ALOT of responsibility thrown on her, and she is ALREADY a better mommy than I will ever be! Ü
Happy 8th Birthday Delainee!

I thought about her last week and I still cannot believe that she is 8! She is so beautiful. What a great idea to get a photo shoot in her baptism dress!

Mind boggling that 8 years has passed us by. Her photoshoot is absolutely beautiful.

Love that she chose Costco for her birthday lunch. So cute.
