A SPECIAL DAY!

Our oldest son Will Scott Boehme was baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on November 22, 2008. It was such a special day for Will as he made the choice to follow in the footsteps of the Savior and be baptized into His church. There was a very special feeling as we gathered as family and friends to support Will on his special day. He was all smiles and I could tell he was excited and a little nervous too!

These pictures are all before his baptism. It was so busy trying to make sure everything was set with the program and the light dinner following the baptism.....these pictures are all we have of the special day.
I love all these little people, they make life so joyful. Truly "children are an heritage of the Lord." I am so grateful for my knowledge that through temple ordinances, families can be together forever.....I can't imagine forever without them!

I thought this was a nice family picture.....good thing, cause it was our only one!

Where in the world is Ethan?
. . .hiding of course!


Our special boy all grown up

Just the two of them.....best buddies!
Thank you to everyone who came to Will's baptism, we felt so blessed to be home for this special occasion and to have Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, cousins and friends there with us. Nothing can compare to the blessings of family so near, surrounding us with love and support and good examples. We love you all, thanks for all you do for us!
For those who couldn't be there, we missed you dearly and hope you feel our love!

Yeah Will! We love seeing the pics of his baptism. Jace can't wait until August for his! Emily--you look so adorable and can't even tell that you got a baby in that tummy! Brian looks like a different man with that beard. Jake wants to grow one now!

Bread Day

As you can see by my countdown I don't have much time left until I will have a sweet little baby in my arms. I am so excited to meet this precious little one, boy or girl. I have been feeling like it will be a girl, and Brian is pretty confident it is a boy.....to say the least we are a house divided! All the girls voting GIRL and all the boys voting BOY ! All my other babies were born at either 38 or 39 weeks so it could be anytime really. So.... today I decided to be ambitious and have a bread day . A friend of mine shared a new bread recipe with me and as most of you know I LOVE MAKING HOMEMADE BREAD, no store bought bread in this country house! And so today I decided to make a big batch to hopefully last until I have this baby. My friend even shared a secret on how to make BAGELS. Mmmmmm, they are so delicious. I think my favorite part about making bread is watching my kids come home from school on bread day and hearing....."Mommy it smells so good," "You made ...

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray...
