ADDIE'S BAPTISM

Saturday the 31st was Addie's baptism. My parents were going to come with Donna and Jack but dad has not been feeling well. Jason and Caulene had a lot of her family staying with them so this week end Donna and Jack stayed with us! It was so fun! They got here on Friday night around 5. We went out to eat and then went to Deedra's and Tony and Jack put a TV bracket on the wall for her. We came home and watched a movie and didn't go to bed till around 1AM! We were like a bunch of youngsters! LOL We slept in (till 8:30) and then got up and had pancakes and bacon! Mmmmmmm! We then visited till it was time to go to the baptism.
Addiline Ivy Piippo and her daddy.
After her baptism we went to the High Council Room and she was confirmed. Here she is with her two Grandpa's and her daddy!

Afterward, we went to the gym and had a lovely luncheon provided by her mom, Caulene. She had prepared 5 different soups, rolls, and some delicious Valentine cookies and dipped pretzel sticks and a drink. It was really good. My hat's off to Caulene for putting that together. It was very nice. Donna and Jack then went to the kid's house to visit with them for a bit and Tony and I went to the Temple to take in a session with our Stake.

It was pretty dark after we left so the picture didn't turn out too good. They have remodeled the front entrance and it is done now but ya can't tell with this picture.
We called Donna and Jack to let them know we were on our way home and we all met up at the house and visited and watched a little TV before going to bed. They left this morning early, just after Tony went to his early morning meeting. It was a great weekend. So fun to have them stay with us. On another note, Scott & Mac made it down to Sierra Vista with no problems. They had 3 other guys he went to the academy with, help him and Mac unload all their belongings into a storage unit. I'm so grateful they had a safe trip. Jill and Hawkins and Scotlyn will be moving in with us for a few weeks and then I'll have to do the worry thing again when she does the same trip (ALL BY HERSELF WITH TWO LITTLE KIDS!) I'll enjoy them until then!

Wow, Caulene must like to cook. I have a hard time putting one soup together. It was great to see Jack and Donna Friday night and thanks again for putting the bracket & TV up. Can't wait for you to see the new entertainment center!
(I hope Curtis doesn't get on a computer somewhere while waiting for flights and accidentally see this :) )
