Shayla's Baptism

Shayla Nicole Twitchell was baptized an official member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on June 7th 2008, Shayla loved dressing up in her new baptism dress from Grandpa Luker.



She felt and looked like a princess! She was so excited to be baptized by her father Larry. John & Joanne gave wonderful talks on baptism and The Holy Ghost and Linda Taylor played the piano. Brother Wheeler welcomed her into the ward. Her favorite song to sing was When I am Baptized.

Afterwards, we invited everyone over for a yummy Lunch at our house !

Away We Go To Washington!

Over Memorial Weekend, we drove up to Tacoma Washington to visit. It was great to stay and visit with Suzee & Dick Boyd and Meagan had fun staying with Melanie at the Gifford's home. We went and visited Mason's grave and Andrew had fun playing with the cars and flowers.

That evening we went to Emily Jolley's Wedding reception and enjoyed visiting with all our old friends! We sure miss Washington!

It's Great To Be 8!

We had fun going to the mall! We had a yummy lunch and Ice cream and fruit smoothies! Dorie and I also went to the Movie Tavern and had a great dinner and Movie, and special thanks to Jed for watching our little ones so we could have time together!!!!
