Leah's Baptism

Saturday, April 10th was a special day for our family. Little Miss Leah made the choice to be baptized. Her Daddy was able to perform the baptism for her and confirm her after with her Grandpa Fagersten and several of our friends.

After we had a lunch for our family and friends. Lots of people came to make the day special. Grandma Ingrid made Leah a beautiful dress. I didn't actually take a single picture on my camera, and this is the only one from my Mom's camera. I asked my friend to take pictures, so I'm waiting to see those!

UFO - Unidentified Floating Objects

Yaya - Mom, can you get me a drink of water?
Me- There's a cup of water and the table, can you just drink that?
Yaya- No
Me- Why not?
Yaya- Because it's Heidi's.
Me- So why don't you drink it anyway?
Yaya- (in the voice of a teenager with attitude) Because. Floaties.

Grandpa and Grandma Fagersten came out from Iowa to visit for the next week. We picked them up from the airport in Portland and on the way home, we stopped off at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. It was not a warm day...but it was dry. Grandma only had sandles and a light jacket. With the wind blowing as hard as it was, we were all quickly chilled through. So we bundled up in blankets and made our way down to the tulips. We had a few minutes of gray skies before the rain came in frigid sheets. It was blowing sideways, so we all ran under the covered tent they had set up. Leah was standing by the side of the tent. We were just waiting to see if the weather would let up when the wind blew the tent side in sharply and snapped Leah across her backside. She let out a yelp, grabbed her buns and yelled, "The tent just spanked me!" We couldn't stop laughing it was so funny!

Easter with Grandma Ingrid

We were able to go up to Grandma Ingrid's house for Easter this year. As always, we got a delicious meal of salmon, quinoa stuffed red peppers, green salad, roasted asparagus and deviled eggs. The cousins had a great time doing an easter egg hunt and Leah even tied with her cousin Eli to find the "dollar egg".
