Boo's Baptism, Dunked! Then dunked again...







My Madison Brooke "Boo" has made one of the biggest choices in this lifetime. We are so proud of you sweet girl. There will be many, many other choices you will need to make in this life, some easier than the one you made on your Baptism day and others will be much harder. Your Dad and I are confident that you will always keep yourself worthy to have the Holy Ghost as your companion...this way you will never have to wonder if you made the right choice or not. We love you sweetie!



On a funnier note: Let's not forget to look back and smile at the memories of the day,






1st: Your silly Dad forgetting to bless you with your name



2nd: Your silly Mom blowing the fuse in the bathroom with the blow-dryer (I was previously warned not to use, oops)thus creating all the lights in the baptismal font to go out on your sweet friend McCall's baptism.



3rd:Having to sing your chosen song"If the savior stood beside me", accupella, cuz I forgot to bring the sheet music. BTW...we did sound pretty good :)






All in all, the day was beautiful! The light in your eyes was radiant and sweet that day.

"THIS JUST IN!"...HUNDREDS OF WORMS SAVED BY WEST JORDAN WOMAN!!!







Yes, everyone who knows me knows that I am a creature lovin' kinda gal...but I would usually draw the line at worms. I mean, you won't see me sacrificing them on the hook of a fishing pole, but I now have added to my resume'...picking them up one by one off the driveway after a rainstorm and taking them to a safer spot (in the soil)...by request of my 2 year old. (Sidenote: I did this for an hour ya'll!)
Why? you ask...
I could not ignore the terrified gasps of my little Miley when she noticed our puppy "Penelope" running around our driveway eating them all!
So yes!...after saving that first lowly worm from the jaws of one hungry Bulldog...and hearing my sweet Miley smile and shout out "Yay!" ...and pointing to another worm "uh-oh mumma"...and another, and another...and another, etc.
I am proud to say that all earthworms at the Hawker household are safe and sound in their beds of soil!
What we won't do for those precious little souls, Right?
What is the most "outlandish" thing you have done for your kiddos?
