LaLa’s Big Day

Last Saturday LaLa was baptized into our Church.

It’s a big day that she has been preparing for.

A few weeks ago I took her to the Arizona Temple to take pictures in her beautiful white dress.

Finally the big day was here.

I may have been a little stressed getting ready for the Baptism and a photo-bomb may have been just what I needed to relax just a little bit…Thanks Keven.

The whole Chaos Clan.

I can’t believe we didn’t get a family picture with LaLa in her beautiful dress…did I mention I was a little stressed that day?!?

We believe in baptism by immersion so her LaLa and Big Daddy are ready for the font.

I sure love this sweet Girly!

It was a beautiful day.

The day was even more special because Niece had spent the week with us and was here for the Baptism.

I didn’t ever get a picture with me and Niece and my brothers. We were all here, but we weren’t ever all together.

On Sunday we dropped Niece off at the airport…sadness.

My kidlets love their Nana Niece.

 

Here is Niece’s version of the day.

Here’s a quick roundup of some of the pictures posted to Instagram this week…

~~~~~

My brother and his family are moving back to AZ. Since his wife is still in Utah she wanted him to have some supervision while house hunting. He was lucky enough to get to spend all that time with me.

Can’t you tell by his face how excited he was?!?

~~~~~

LaLa’s baptism is coming up quickly and I was stressing about getting pictures taken for the invitations. Finally they are done!

The girlies and I had a fun morning hanging around the Temple taking pictures of this Cutie!

~~~~~

You know when you grunt every time you pick up your purse it might be time to clean it out.

The random Hot Wheels and crayons I get. The batteries were for my camera the day before. But why do I have a washcloth in there? And a lighter?…I don’t smoke. At least I found my favorite lip gloss…

~~~~~

Einstein had an orthodontist appointment and when we got home I found this on my phone.

It’s pretty remarkable the difference one year makes.

~~~~~

A visit to the dentist is a whole different experience with just one kidlet.

It was quite humorous watching Hammie come down from the laughing gas.

~~~~~

I love this picture of Roo blowing out her candle on her 7th birthday.

She was definitely more dignified as an 11 yr old.

~~~~~

I really like how close I live to our little airport. I was so excited when I saw this plane coming in for a landing knowing that Niece was on there.

My little Roo turns 11 today.

She is sweet.

She is happy.

She’s my brown eyed girl.

She is a little dramatic.

She is brave.

She is smart.

She is girly.

She can do amazing things.

She is ready to take on the world.

She knows that she is a Child of God.

She is beautiful.

Happy Birthday Roo!

I love you!

Here are a few random Instagram pictures from this week.

~~~~~

I posted a “Throwback Thursday” picture of the kidlets from Roo’s Kindergarten Graduation.

This was only 5 years ago. I really need the growing-up process to slow down.

~~~~~

I made little end-of-the-year gifts for Hammie’s class.

I joked on Instagram about me being awesome because I did this.

I am in no way awesome because I tied little cards on bubbles to give to his class.

I am awesome, just not because of this.

~~~~~

I live in the desert.

I don’t think he belongs in the desert.

~~~~~

I was at the Dollar Store and saw these bubbles.

One of Ham’s therapist always had these in her bag. It brought back all the memories of the challenges and the therapy and how far we have really come with this little boy.

They also reminded me of when we were trying to teach him to blow bubbles and he would touch the bubble wand with his lips and then when he would talk he would blow the most incredible bubbles from his mouth.

~~~~~

This girlie…

~~~~~

I was so glad to have all my babies home from school knowing that for the next 2 months they are mine.

And it’s hard to get a selfie of 6 people y’all.

~~~~~

The alarms are off.

And yet I still woke up at 5am this morning.
