Fun 4th of July Weekend


On Friday the 4th we got to go out to lunch with my Uncle Wally and my cousins Amy and Ann. Then Jon's Parents, Jon's brother Eldon and his family, Alex, and my parents all came into town. Then along with JP and Katie's family, they all came over for a barbecue. We sent up the bonsai slide and then did our own fireworks show once it got dark.


The next day Jon's brother DJ and his family and Dana and Todd came into town. We went to IN and OUT for lunch and had cake for Katie's birthday. Cricket's baptism was at 5:00. It was really nice. Our ward was in charge so JP said the prayer, I spoke, and DJ and Becky sang a beautiful duet. We went to the house for dinner afterwards. Then we went to Sand Hollow Swimming pool for Cricket's birthday party.

On Sunday Cricket was confirmed in our ward and we had lunch at our house. We had such a great weekend and are so grateful to everyone who attended and helped make it such a memorable experience for Cricket.
A Big Fat Thank you to Grandma DeWitt, who made Cricket's beautiful baptism dress.
The bust of the dress is actually made from the leftover lace of my wedding dress, which makes it that much more special.

We are so glad we were a part of that memorable, fun, and beautiful weekend. Thank you, Cricket, for turning 8 years and for doing it so right. And thank you, Jon and Jenny, for being the best of hosts---the food, fun, and family and all was like being on a cruise. We love you all so much and that includes the whole DeWitt family.
