Baptism!

A few days before our guests arrived we had some guests of the feline persuasion:) This momma cat and little kitten were so fun for Abby! She would talk to them and poke at the window talking excitedly about them. They were only around for a few hours to take a nap, and then they left.

When I was getting out the halloween decorations abby latched onto this skeleton and didn't want to let it go...

Ricks parents arrived on Thursday night and stayed at Rob's house. They came over on Friday morning and spent the morning with Rick, kayaking at the lake. Rick's mom roller her kayak, but she didn't mind too much!

My parents arrived late Friday night after helping out a friend in need who accidentally flew into the Phoenix Gateway airport but rented a car from a different airport, so luckily my parents were able to help him out. They didn't get to bed until midnight!

Saturday morning I had a terrifying experience on my run, a huge dog was chasing me and jumping all over me! I was literally in tears and shaking when I got home. I was convinced that I would never run again....but then I got up and did on Monday and now this morning...so far no more dogs!

After my terrifying run, Jacob got baptized! It was a beautiful service, both the talks were given by two ladies in our ward and they did a great job! Haley played the piano while Emilie Weidman and Ashlyn sang, When I am Baptized. They all did a great job! Rick then baptized Jacob and then confirmed him with Grandpa Hahn and Grandpa Johnson participating and acting as witnesses for the baptism. My friend Bridget was able to come to the baptism, she's a Catholic so it's been fun discussing our different religions and to have her there was very sweet!

After the baptism we went back to our house and had a luncheon. Pulled pork, jello salad, potato salad, veggies, green bean salad, rolls, mashed potatoes, peach pie and chocolate pie:) It was yummy! After Abby took her nap Rick and his parents took the kids to go see Tomorrowland at the $2 theater and my parents took me and Abby out shopping. It was a great day!

On Sunday we all went to church and then came home and had sandwiches. After Abby's nap we took my parents out for a drive to see the river, some wild stallions and the lake! It was a beautiful drive, except for the part where we almost got hit by a wrong way driver around a blind curve going up a mountain! Ya, that got our hearts pumping!

It was fun to have our parents come and celebrate with us! We miss them already!!

We found a huge spider at Costco!!
