She was so excited to be getting baptized on the same day as one of her best friends! Jen took some darling pictures of the two of them together and Janelle put together a cute little invitation for them. I am so lucky to have such talented sisters!!
Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the photo shoot
I love how cute these two girls are together. (I can't believe they are moving next week...)
I think she took around 150 pictures! They were all so cute and I had such a hard time deciding which ones I liked the best. I uploaded more of my favorites to my Picasa album. Which one is your favorite?Baptism Day
Lauren was beaming when she got to the church. We all wanted to get a picture with her.
Travis baptized her and Travis and Jason and our family and friends confirmed her a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

The boys saw the camera come out and decided it was time to look cool. :-)

Garrett, Tyler, Wes, Austin, Zack I know I should be writing about the baptism, but I can't really think in clear thoughts. Looking at these pictures, my heart is so heavy. The Poulsen's have been so much a part of our lives the last few years and they are moving next week-to South Dakota!! That's not really a quick trip to visit... Okay, the lump is back in my throat so I'll just show you more pictures from the rest of the day.
The kids left shortly after the baptism to go to San Francisco with Travis and his new girlfriend for the 4th of July weekend. The Poulsen's had family in town and Sterling and Katie were here, so we had everyone (friends and family) back to our house for a barbecue and swimming.

By the time everyone had gone home and we had things all picked up, it was after 11:30pm. We checked on Ashlyn who was sound asleep in bed and snuck off to the hot tub to finish off the night. Another good end to a great day.
