Suzanna's baptism!

Suzanna got baptized yesterday!!!



It was such a nice day....even the weather was pretty nice! In the morning Jake and I went to the temple so the kids got up and watched a movie. The rest of the morning we worked outside. Jake went and bought some onion and asparagus plants and we planted them in the garden boxes. We're really excited about our garden this year...we took out the strawberry plants this year because they were taking over, and we decided to try asparagus. This is what else we are planting...peas, bush beans, watermelon, pumpkins, cucumber, zucchini, lettuce (romaine, spinach and swiss chard), peppers, tomatoes and onions. Hopefully we'll have a great harvest!




Suzanna was so excited to get baptized! We have been having the last 6 Family Home Evening just for her and Jake has been going through the 6 missionary discussions.

I think one of the things she was most excited about was making a baptism quilt! We went shopping for the material a few weeks again and then spent this week cutting, and sewing and tying! It was a lot of fun and she really loves to sleep with it! I hope Suzanna remembers that just like her quilt can make her feel warm and happy so can the Holy Ghost, as long as she keeps the commandments and is in tune to the Spirit she can feel warm happy feelings!

The baptism service was at our Stake Center and was very nice. Elaina and I did a piano duet and there were 2 speakers. Suzanna was the only one from our ward and was baptized in the Relief Society room and then we went into the Primary room for the confirmation. We filled the whole room with family and friends! Afterwards we had all of the cousins (from the Farris and Martin side) for a picture. We are so lucky to have big supportive families!!!

After the baptism Suzanna got to decide where to eat for dinner...and she waited until we were in the car to tell us! She thought it was so cool to keep it a secret until the very last minute!

We all ate a ton! We had a lot of fun and the kids were very good and loved eating at Chuck-a-rama!!!

Our Primary is having a Senior Primary Field trip to the temple in June and I wanted to figure out a good spot to take the primary kids pictures when we are there. So, after dinner we went over to the Boise Temple to take a picture and walk around the temple. It's so beautiful, I love to go to the temple!

We are so blessed to have Suzanna in our family! She is really a ray of sunlight and such a good example to everyone! We are so proud of her!
