Freestone's Baptism









This was such a special day! Freestone got to be baptized with Jake and Collin (his cousins) on the same day! They are all such good friends and I'm proud of all of them for their decision to be baptized. The Holy Ghost is such a blessing in my life, and I know it will be in theirs too. Since Michelle and Jake are living with us at the moment, I've shared a room with Freestone. It's been great to bond together more. I read scriptures with him almost every night and tried to talk to him about baptism. The conversations weren't always successful with Free's big imagination, talkativeness, and how easily he's distracted. But when he could be serious:), he impressed me with his testimony and knowledge.
The boys each chose their favorite color for the color scheme of the baptism. It ended up being surprisingly coordinated and cute together:) Lime green-Collin, purple-Jake, and bright red-Freestone.
Lexie and Ruby gave talks, Grandma Dopp and Gus gave prayers, the Grandpas were witnesses, Grandpa Dopp conducted, and I played John the Baptist on the flute with Lex, Ruby, and Ari. There was even an adorable slideshow of the boys we watched while they got dressed. Ryan baptized and confirmed Coll and Jake and my dad baptized/confirmed Freestone. It was very spiritual and turned out perfectly. I loved the tissue paper with the theme colors, the balloons, and the beach buckets on the tables. Congrats Freestone, Collin, and Jacob! I hope Freestone remembers this awesome day forever! I love you Free!

So my parents are off to Paris with Freestone and Tizzy. Lucky ducks! My grandparents are staying with us some of the time, but a lot of babysitting and homework is in-store for me this next week and a quarter so I was kinda stressed out. I spaced all my homework and remembered at 11 pm last night that I had a 100 question biology test, 2 Honors English assignments (That included reading) and 6 pages of math. So I woke up at 6, did it, planned to do the math during lunch and got ready in about 2.7 minutes. Luckily, I had tutorial so I went to get Algebra 2 help and finished that. Yay! And my science test turned out to be good, I could use notes and a textbook. I am so relieved right now and I think Heavenly Father helped a lot today. The Epic of Gilgamesh has nothin' on me today! :) PS Have fun in Paris guys! We'll miss you but not too much, I mean You're In Paris! :)

Happy New Year!

2014 will be a great year! It's 1:46 am right now so I will blog more tomorrow but I just can't believe it's January and the start of another brand new year! Yay for 2k14!!! On New Years Eve I went to a friends house to party! We watched Back to the Future and had treats, played games, and talked. We counted down, watched the ball drop, made fun of Miley Cyrus. There were a lot of people so it was really fun. On New Years Day we visited Nana, saw Frozen, went to Coco's and dad, mom and Ruby and I went to dinner. I'd been wanting to go to Rio Grande for awhile so we drove up to SLC. When we got there it was closed! So, change of plans, we went to Royal India in Bountiful instead. I'm so glad we did!! I love Indian food and it was delicious!! We got garlic, regular and a sweet naan and lamb sagg, coconut chicken and butter chicken and a mango lasse! Heaven. It was fun to just spend time with my parents and Ruby. They are really good about taking time to give u...

There are so many things that make up a person. I know that "things" isn't the right word, but I can't think of something that adequately describes what a person even  would  be made of. Dreams, accomplishments, interests, regrets, mistakes, wishes, relationships, etc. I love ballet. I want to teach ballet, and I want to dance ballet. It's part of who I am. But my heart also yearns for the actress side of me. The little bite of real acting that I got at the age of ten in a production of Babes in Toyland in Salt Lake City. The countless drives to Ogden for rehearsals of Music Man when I was twelve. The ten-hour dress rehearsals of Jana's plays throughout high school. I miss that. My heart yearns for the flute. The peak of my playing my Senior year when I was practicing daily and could play Carnival of Venice like a pro. When I began to see what my practicing had accomplished and considered going on to play in a symphony. I miss French. Learning an entire other ...
