About two weeks ago our ward had their "Great to be 8" presentation, and Katie got to go. She was so excited. They talked to them about what is going to happen when they are baptized, and what it means for each of them. The kids were asked if any of them knew if they were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or not?! Some of them answered yes, no, and some no answers as they looked at the parents. Over all it was a good night.
So, the reason for me telling you this is, as we were getting the kids all together to have family scriptures and prayer we asked Katie where her scriptures were. ( she has a blue Book of Mormon) She informed us that she has no scriptures because she was not a member of the church yet. We kept a straight face, and said are you sure. And she said, "Yes! I haven't been baptized like Emmy and Madi". (Madi is her cousin that was just baptized) We let her know that she was right.
I can't wait for her big day. Wait what am I saying, it's so sad that she is going to be my last child to be baptized. I can remember Kacee's like it was yesterday and saying "1 down 3 to go". Boy, time flies by to fast. We are getting excited about her baptism, she is already talking about having her baptism dress made by Grandma McCune, and her new scriptures she'll get. We'll have to see about the dress being made by Grandma, she has 4 girls being baptized next spring. The first one starts in Feb., then March, then April - that's Katie, then June (I think). It might be me - YIKES. Or a trip to the store. Lots of dresses and jewelry to be made. We can't wait!!!

Oh she is so cute! Why do I have such a hard time picturing Katie being EIGHT!!! I can remember like yesterday her running around the Provo house with THE chubbiest, most bow-legged legs ever!!! Oh, she was sooooo adorable! We can't wait for her big day!! Love you guys!
That little Katie is an absolute DOLL!!
Grandma is going to be pretty busy sewing! She offered to make Madelyn a dress too, but I don't know when we are going to have time to get together and pick a pattern and fabric! We are so lucky to have a Grandma's and Papa's that are so involved with our kids! Can't wait for the big day Katie! (We hope we won't have the same problems like when we drove down for Emmy's!;)
