Vanessa's Baptism

Ryan and I still can't believe it. Our baby is 8 and is now officially a member of the church. It seems like just yesterday that she was born. Time sure does fly. We were told that we thought the first 8 years were fast wait till the next 8 years they'll fly faster. That sure doesn't make me feel any better. :) 
Vanessa was so excited about everyone that was there. I was so proud of her that she asked the people she wanted to be part of her program and all it was awesome. You could really see the spirit shine in her. 
We had an amazing turn out it really showed how much she is loved and cared about. It was neat seeing her on Sunday go up with the bishop and he announced that she is the newest member of our ward. She didn't look embarrassed at all. She came back and said "mom there was a lot of people here" I just laughed. 
Our wonderful family before the baptism. How truly blessed Ryan and I are to have each other and 3 beautiful little girls. 
We got Vanessa her first set of scriptures of coarse they had to be blue (her favorite color). It was awesome seeing her reading them, sitting in sacrament looking up scriptures. 
She was opening Grandma Linda and Uncle Dustin's present. She got some amazing gifts that day. My mom got her a glass etching of the twin falls temple with the base that glows (since twin was the first temple she went in). She got many beautiful necklaces which she loves so much and lots of other goodies. 
Trista was such a big girl that day admiring her big sister and wanting to follow her everywhere. They are so adorable.
