8 is GREAT

Yesterday Allie and Lance had their 8th and 41st birthdays, respectively. Allie was so excited to open all her presents and had her birthday cake and dinner all lined up weeks ago. She has even talked about what she wants for her NEXT birthday several times if you can believe it. Because of the church policy regarding stake baptisms (and the fact that they actually enforce the rule in this valley,) she will not be getting baptized until April 9th. We are so lucky, happy, and grateful to have such a beautiful, feisty, loving, smart little girl as part of our family. Lance had a great birthday with the day off work, lunch at Rubios- followed up by a trip to BestBuy for electronics. Thanks to all of you for your presents, calls and good wishes.

Daddy-Daughter Dance 2011

Lance took the girls to the Daddy-Daughter dance at their school last Friday. They always get excited to get their hair done and put on fancy dresses and go dance the night away with their dad. Our Stake President was at the dance as well and commented abouthow he was impressed with Lance dancing with two girls at the same time, one on each arm.
