Ashtons big day!

Ashton was baptised on July 5th it was a Sunday! We do not have a combined stake baptism. Ashton had the whole day to herself. She chose the hymns we sang, who gave the prayers, and who spoke on baptism and the holy ghost! It was so special to have so many members of our family there!
After the baptism everyone about 50 people ( I love that so many members of our family live so close) came over for desserts that Ashton picked out!I can't believe she is 8 already! I know she is taking this baptism thing very serious
and is truly trying to make better choices and be a good example to her little brother and sister and to her friends!

She is the only great my kids have ever had on the Ekins side!!

Ashton was so tickled with this bouquet of white flowers her primary teacher brought over for her! She is so kind and Ashton just loves her!
