Grace's Big Day

Grace was baptized this last weekend. It was a fabulous day. Grace was so excited and we are so proud of her for making this decision. Grace has such a sweet, pure spirit and she is such a good example to her brother and sisters. Lots of friends and family were able to attend the baptism and Grace felt very special. Grandma and Grandpa came, so did Aunt Dana and Uncle Jason and the COUSINS!! The kids had such a great time together, they played hard all weekend and were so sad when the Delgadillos had to go home. We are so grateful to everyone who made the long trip up to be here for Grace and everyone who participated in the baptism. It was a perfect weekend, we are very blessed. It was a perfect Mother's Day present, that and getting to be with my mom on Mother's Day, which hasn't happened in a long time. Elliot decided to write about the baptism for his small moment homework this week. I think he summed it up fairly well.




Such a sweet boy :)

We trapped the kids in the little breezeway and let them go wild!

Happy girl :)

For a recap of the rest of the weekend you can see my sister's post here.

Easters

We had a really fun Easter weekend, which I didn't get hardly any pictures of. We had an Easter brunch at our church on Saturday. The kids got to do an Easter egg hunt and we got to listen to some inspirational music numbers. Sunday morning we had our usual Easter baskets and went to church. The kids got some new Easter outfits which I did get some pictures of. So, here are the Easter cuties!

Great to be 8!

Grace turned 8 two weeks ago. It is very surreal. I can't believe how fast the last 8 years have gone. I became a new person the day she was born, the person I was born to become. She started it all. I can't believe it was 8 years ago. Anyway, Grace was anxiously awaiting her 8th birthday. It is a big milestone. She will be baptized in less than a week, and she finally got her ears pierced!!! (she's been talking about this for months!). We took her to the mall on her birthday to have it done. Ray kept teasing her about how bad it hurts and that she was going to cry. But my girl is tough didn't shed a single tear.


Right before she got them pierced.

Right after the deed was done!

And of course we did some shopping at Claire's right after. Grace spent all her birthday money from grandma on some new earrings. Her friend Aria joined us. Grace announced on the way home that Claire's is her new favorite store :)

Then we came home and celebrated with some cake and ice cream.

We had a friend party this last weekend, pics to come!

Up next...
