Thanksgiving at the Condo-2005

We were able to have our condo in Midway over the Thanksgiving holiday this year. We reserved the clubhouse Thanksgiving afternoon, but we were able to have a little touch football in the morning, and were able to swim and play games in the afternoon. All of our Utah family was able to be there this year except Angie and Chad. We also missed our Florida family. Here are some of the pictures from Thanksgiving Day.

Natalie's Baptism Day!!

Natalie got baptized today into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The baptism program was so beautiful. Her mom Kim was one of the speakers, but the sweetest time came when the four little girls who were being baptized, all dressed in white, sang together, "When I am baptized." She was baptized by her dad Gregg. Her grandfathers, Phil Barney and Steven Finlinson were the witnesses to the baptism. Her dad made sure she was totally immersed in the water...he nearly laid her clear down on the bottom!!



Natalie's confirmation was beautiful. Her dad, her two grandpa's, Uncles Ted, Doug, Robert and her Bishop laid their hands on her head, and her father gave her the Holy Ghost and then a blessing from our Heavenly Father. Her dad told her that her Heavenly Father loved her. He blessed her heart that it would be sensative to the spirit, her mind that she would have an understanding of the scriptures and of her Heavenly Father. He blessed her hands that they would be busy in helping others, and her legs and feet that they would be strong in endurance. He told her of her families love for her, and blessed her with all other blessings the Lord saw a need for her to have. What a sweet little girl.

Wow! There are still roses and beautiful weather the 5 November! Following the baptisimal services, everyone went back to Gregg and Kims for lunch. Angie and Chad joined us there. (Angie had a masters presentation earlier that day.)
