My handsome boy and pretty girl

My kids just looked so darn cute this morning all dressed up for church that I had to share their pictures with you. My little boy in dress pants and a tie just looks so handsome. He actually smiled and posed for this shot and I think it looks so silly! I also think he looks a lot like my brother Jake did as a boy.

Sareny is wearing the hair bows I made for her last night. I'm so glad I learned how to make these! (Thanks, Amy.) I love her little blond ringlets.

Today at church someone said that my daughter looked so much like me today. That made me happy, even though I don't personally see too much resemblance. What do you think?

In Matthew...

Years ago at my older sister's mission farewell, my younger sister Cassidy got up to give her talk in sacrament, began with "In Matthew," and then ran back to her chair and never finished. We never got to hear any more of her talk. I have no idea what anyone else said that day, but I remember that Cassidy said, "In Matthew." Well, now we have another "Matthew" situation to remember.
Today at church Sareny was supposed to give the scripture in Primary. We had practiced at home and she seemed very prepared. I was at the podium helping her, and I prompted her to say "Matthew chapter six." She loudly said "Matthew chocolate chips." I got a good chuckle out of that one. My friend Sheila said she enjoys the weeks the Sunbeams are giving the talks and scriptures because you never know what you're going to get. Anyway, good job Sareny!

Finley's Blessing Day

Our sweet little Finley Lynn was blessed on Sunday at church by her dad. She was so beautiful in her dress that her grandma Nancy made her. I loved the little bonnet--it was adorable. Finley also had a special blessing afghan made by her Grammy Jo, and my good friend Sandra made her a tiny bracelet to wear on her special day. It was so nice to see several good friends that made a special effort to be there on our day--the Gardners, the Stuckies, the Chiltons, and the Dominguez family, as well as all of our good friends in our ward. We love all of you!
