Baylee's baptism is on January 3rd at the Highland Stake Center at 9:00 AM. I know that's early for ya'all traveling from Spanish Fork and Payson. Sorry, I tried to reschedule it but couldn't. We hope you can all make it. We will be serving a breakfast afterwards.
On the Bunker side instead of a gift exchange we were going to take a picture and do a write up about our family. Well, here is the picture. Merry Christmas.
We never got our cards out this year. My awesome sister Corianne designed this card for me and it turned out so cute. But, we took our time with finding what paper and where to print it and all of a sudden it was too late. Anyway, I like the idea of going green and doing it electronically. We hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas!
A Box of course. Your kids will play in it for hours. You won't care when it is ruined. It spikes their creativity. Pretend play is awesome. The price is right.
These two played in this box for days and days.
They loved it for hours.
Good brother and sister bonding.
It's nice when their in the box. Finally Mom can get something done.
The stomach flu came to visit us last week. It started with Braxton on Wednesday night. He started throwing up around 11:00 PM and threw up every 1/2 hour until 5:00 AM. It hit Jennica on Saturday. David got sick Saturday night and didn't fair too much better than Braxton did. And finally Baylee threw up Sunday night and missed school on Monday.
Even though I have been thrown up on plus cleaned everything up I still haven't got the flu. It has been such a blessing that I have been able to take care of everyone else. We've had a few casualties though. Our old trusty couch took a big beating. I tried to protect it with all the towells but it still got hit. At one point David and I decided to get a new couch and then about an hour later one of the twins spilled a cup of apple juice that Baylee left in the family room all over trusty blue. It made me rethink it. I know once we get a new couch there will be rules that will have to be enforced where now they are just rules but no one pays much attention. So, I'm deciding. Meanwhile, I have been scrubbing down the old blue couch and trying to sanitize it.
We got the rest of our pictures from our good friend Jen Fossum who does Sugar n Spice Photography. I loved the way they turned out. Just wanted to share. Sorry there were so many posts but Blogger wouldn't let me do it any other way. Or I am a nerd and just don't know how. Anyway, here they are. . . . .
This is a few of us. We were taking pictures as we waited for Camille and Teara to come with their kids. We had lots of fun. Brielle, Baylee, and Brooke
Baylee and Brooke welcoming us into the house made of straw. The three little pigs would have been proud of this house. I don't think that big bad wolf could blow it down. Cool.
A few cousins
Jennica had a cold but was a trooper. Her voice is deep as it is - but with a scratchy voice it was very comical. She had a good time though.
Commune daily with your Heavenly Father who knows you best of all. He knows your talents, your strengths, and your weaknesses. You are here on the earth at this time to develop and refine these characteristics. I promise you He will help you. He is aware of your needs. He is aware of your unanswered prayers. ~Elder Marvin J. Ashton, May

Elder Jeffery R. Holland, 2008"I ask everyone within the sound of my voice to take heart, be filled with faith, and remember the Lord has said He “would fight [our] battles, [our] children’s battles, and [the battles of our] children’s children.” And what do we do to merit such a defense? We are to “search diligently, pray always, and be believing. Then all things shall work together for [our] good, if [we] walk uprightly and remember the covenant wherewith [we] have covenanted.” The latter days are not a time to fear and tremble. They are a time to be believing and remember our covenants."
Henry B. Eyring 2008
I testify that by the Spirit of Christ and by the Holy Ghost, you may walk confidently in whatever difficulties will come. Because you are so valuable, some of your trials may be severe. You need never be discouraged or afraid. The way through difficulties has always been prepared for you, and you will find it if you exercise faith.When you walk in the light, you will feel at that moment some of the warmth and the happiness that will finally be yours when you are welcomed home again with the hundreds and perhaps thousands of others whom you will bring with you, who have walked in the light because you did.
Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature. . . for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
