Wet Behind the Ears...

Our beautiful girl was baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints this past Saturday. It was such a great day! She was so excited all day and couldn't wait for her chance to be baptized. She is such an example in the strength of her faith. She loves her Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ so much and knows that they answer her prayers. I love this girl and am grateful for her spirit and her life that brings a sweetness to mine.
There were some great talks given and Matt gave a sweet blessing and confirmation. It is amazing to think that this is my baby and she is already 8 and ready to take this step. She was able to have her Ama and Grandma Birdie there as well as her aunt Booey, Uncle Matt, Peyton and Bailey. We missed you, Noelle, Spencer and PopPop! You were never far from us is our thoughts.

Abby looks like she's 12! Seriously she's gotten so big!! I love that there are slowly becoming more and more Conkling blogs out there because we all just live too far apart to see each other every summer at Lake Tahoe!
