But I need to face the facts: I don't have anything to write about, so I don't write anything, so then I can't remember anything. And I don't write in a journal. Plus, my dad keeps urging me to blog, and my sister told me to post about Samera's baptism because she got sick and couldn't come. Blame it on them if you want to.
I am about to inundate you with boring-to-everyone-but-a-select-few-who-pretend-not-to-be-bored-by-such-things photos and details of the last several weeks.
I now present, Samera Turns Eight:
First, we had her family party. She wanted a cake with oreos on one half and M&M's on the other, and filled with the same, but with the candy switched. Got it? Yeah, it was confusing for me, too.
Then, a couple weeks later, on February 2nd, Samera was baptized. I made her pose, facing the sun, with her cake.
And with her dad.
And with my orange thing.
And by herself at the church.
And being fitted for a white jumpsuit.
And with me and Ty
(during which photo I was only praying that the kind ward member who offered to take it was not noticing Ty grabbing my bum)
And with the whole family
(please ignore the strange way in which my limbs are languishing in awkwardness)
We had a small crowd over for an after party. I made a Samera doll for the top of her cake.
My dad is the cutest.
And, since only the top tier of cake was devoured, I recycled the bottom tier for a Super Bowl party the next day. Cause it just made sense.
Whew! You still with me? You deserve a prize. I am making cookies right now, so I'll eat an extra one just for you.

I love pictures. Of course, if I could write like you do, I wouldn't need them. Still. I love your pictures. Congrats to Samera for her baptism.
WOW! I've never seen this blog-side of you! I am really impressed by your crafty-mom-talents. You look so beautiful, classy and your family looks so together! I always forget we are grown-ups and then I see my friends doing grown-up things (like prepping for their children's baptisms). Its so surreal.

You know you are the queen, right? I hope you know I love you anyway! (Happy to see you still gettin' yer bum grabbed at inoportune moments. That's the spice 'o life, don'tcha think?)
LOVED IT! (can I steal/borrow the party idea? Hadley won't be having a friend party for 5+ years, so it'll be while 'til I do it.) and, your dad IS the cutest!!!!! I love your whole clan so much.
