Wow, were did the last six weeks go. Nicky told me that I needed to update my blog. I was in the process twice, but my wonderful, sweet, darling child would come and restart my computer. So needless to say, it all went bye-bye, TWICE! So I am splitting the update into several posts, so hopefully I don't lose it again. Anyway…
Lindsay turned 8 on September 27th. The week before her birthday, she had a combined birthday party with her friend Emilie. To say the least it was nuts, crazy, and exhausting for the parents; and an absolute blast for the girls. Lindsay thought it was so much fun, she wants to have it combined every time. Now the next time she has a friend party will be when she is turning 12, so we shall see. If you want t

Nicky and I took the girls to Mack Park to get pictures taken, and once again it was nuts, crazy, and exhausting. (Do you see a pattern?) But it was also extra special to watch our girls. After taking a bunch of pictures we started talking about how pretty they would look with flowers. And if you want to take pictures with gorgeous flowers where do you head…to the temple. So that's where we went. There was a couple that had just gotten married, and was there taking pictures. It was so funny to watch Linds & Emi, watch them. It seems like it was just yesterday that we got that long awaited phone call. I will never forget what they said. "We have a young lady here, who would love to place her littl
e girl with you." Nineteen days later, Cindy (Lindsay's birthmom) was placing her in my arms. Lindsay was only about 3 minutes old, and Cindy said "Here Lindsay, Here's your mama." We were allowed to stay in the hospital that night with Lindsay. When she was 7 months old, we took her to the temple to be sealed; and then again when she was five we went back to the temple to have Kaylee sealed to us. Now that she is eight I was back at the temple for another special occasion. Granted this time we didn't go inside, but it was still a special time. She is definitely a special spirit. I love listening to her prayers every night. It is so amazing some of the things that she says, and I know she believes in her Heavenly Father by how she communicates with Him. Lindsay got baptized on her birthday, so it was extra, extra special. Many family members, friends, and teachers were there for her.
While we were taking pictures Lindsa
y and Emi ran up ahead of us. I came around to the back of the temple and found Lindsay standing in the doorway, I just had to take a picture. She is waiting for the day that she can enter the temple once again. I thought it was so cute that Lindsay and Emi were copying the same pose they had seen the newlywed couple do in the front of the temple.
After the baptism we headed once again to Mack Park to have a luncheon and family birthday party. As I mentioned before she loves Hannah Montana, so I made her a Hannah Montana guitar cake out of cupcakes. She loved it.

She freaked out when she got a stationary set with Hannah Montana on it. Anything Hannah Montana she squealed about.

Don't you think they are a couple of cute little girls?

I think Kaylee loved the frosting, I found her covered in it the next day.

Great memories! I will treasure forever the memory of that crazy day at the temple chasing those two little girls. They are two of a kind!
