Chey's B-day/baptism

Ok, I know people have been waiting for me to do this post. And now I'm finally getting to it!
My sister Cheyenne turned 8 on the 20th of this month (July). And so, on the 26th she was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We had some family and friends come for it. Nothing too big or fancy. But it was fun, and of course Chey got extra special treatment. She had to be dunked twice, because the first time her foot came up. Haha! Mom gave the talk on baptism, and I did the one on the Holy Ghost. Here is a picture of Chey before her dunking! Those jumpsuits are not very fun to wear (in my opinion) but she looks good in it! Wait until you turn twelve Chey, then you get to wear one at least once or twice a year!
Chey with her (and my) daddy. Of course Dad baptized and confirmed her. Yay!

One of the only pictures of me, because I had the camera most of the time. Not the best pic. I was, of course, the pianist.


Here is the beautiful cake that Aunt Stacy made for the occasion! She even made the candy tiara on top!




So so cute!




Chey with Ketchup and Fishy (aka Kendra and Felicia).





Chey with our soo cute cousin Emily.






Daddy and Grandma Terry! I like this picture.







An all American meal! MMmmmm






Kids on the tramp. TO be exact, Justin, Brendan, Krystel, Chey, Kota, and Felicia.








Chey opening her gifts. Sorry, I didn't take pictures of them.



None of us need this little bike anymore, so we gave it to Spencer. Now he uses it for his motorcycle. Wonder where he learned that!




Food! Krystel, Fishy, Kendra, Chey, Kami, and Grandma Hale.




Cousin Trevor, and Spencer. Spencer loved seeing himself in the view-screen. He kept saying, "look! Look that's me!"



Around the fire. Grandpa, Justin, Em, Victor, and Uncle Jeff. We roasted marshmallows, talked, and (some of us;hint) got embarrassed by our grandpa who MUST try and insist that poor sixteen year old guys really should join the army. Not to mention names or anything. (Yes, I still love my grandpa.) Enough said.
And I won't even say how aunts can embarras you. (and yes I still love you too Aunt Stacy.)


Nathan wrestling Kota on the trampoline. Don't worry, if anyone got hurt it would probably had been Nathan. Not the best thing to teach Kota. Haha, oh well.

And those are all the pictures! Sorry there was a smudge on the camera lens and we didn't notice until they were uploaded onto the computer. So some people may be slightly smeared.
I see now that I didn't manage to get pictures of everyone. Oops. But I did better than my mom would have! And next time will be even better. But to let everyone know, these where the people who came:
baptism
From our last bishops family (they are our friends now, even though he's not bishop anymore)
Bishop H-aka Ryan
Nathan
Krystel
Kami
Spencer
Family and relatives
All of my family of course
Grandma and Grandpa C
Grandma H
Aunt Stacy and Uncle Jeff and their kids-Trevor Emily and Victor
Bishop H (the current Bishop. They have the same last initial!)
And his wife Ramona
BBQ after Baptism
All of the before mentioned-as well as:
Kendra and Felicia
The twins, Justin and Brendan
So, happy birthday and congratulations Chey! I am proud of you and the choice you made to be baptized. Remember to be careful of how you represent the Savior and His church, and always be a good and sweet example to everyone. As I know you are.
Love you sister Tiffany.
Happy Birthday/baptism Cheyenne!
I know I didn't describe things very well in this post. So feel free to ask questions if you are confused.
