Becca is 8

Because we have been living in the Land of Crazy for the last little bit, I never posted about my September babies. I'm going to start with Becca.

 

Becca is 8!! She was so excited to turn because that meant she would be getting baptized. She had her interview with our bishop and came out of his office to inform us that "[she] had passed!" It was so cute. it was also the first time I had ever had a child interviewed alone, so I was a little nervous about what she was going to say- not about what she knows about the gospel, but what might come right out of her mouth!

 

She is loving being 8. She told me on her birthday that when she came out of the bathroom she could just tell she had gotten bigger. She's right! She is getting bigger. It's exciting and a little sad for me.

 

She is turning into quite the young lady!

We were in a new ward for her baptism, so it was a little strange for us. She was baptized with one of her good friends though. Tanner lives in our neighborhood and they are in the same class in Primary and school. Her grandpa was able to baptize her. She was excited for that. It was only his second time baptizing someone. We were so happy to have so many family members there!! It helped to make us more comfortable.

It was fun to be in with Becca afterward. I was helping her dress and she said to me, "Mom, that was just like taking a bath, but you just didn't have any shampoo, conditioner, or soap!" I laughed! She always says the craziest things, but she was right had she had those things she could've taken a bath. I think Tanner wouldn't have liked that though.

 

Happy Birthday, Becca! I'm so glad you chose to be baptized and are now a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! You are such a joyful addition to this family!!
