I am Blessed!

I have finally come down from the high of the busy last weekend, I wanted to blog about it so not to forget my special day.  You see, I was baptized/dedicated last weekend.  I know that I am one of God's children, but it was fun celebrating that in front of family and friends!  And boy do I have a lot.  As you can see by the picture, I had lots of people come to town to celebrate and spend time together.  Both my godparents, BJ & Danielle,  2 aunts, uncle Brian, cousins, grandparents, and friends.  Whoa....I am truly blessed!

The whole gang.  How is Mallorie the tallest person in the bunch?

Saturday AM after my morning nap, we all went to church.  I guess it was easier to do it when there weren't hundreds of people there on Sunday, and went into a small room where Don baptized me.  He said some nice things and then put water on my face.  I didn't mind it....actually it was pretty refreshing.  I guess he baptized me too, but I'm not going to lie...that was years ago.  I don't remember much.  It didn't take all that long so afterward we hung out a bit, took some pictures, etc.  The big kids all went and played on the stage in the auditorium a bit.  I went up there too, but I don't think I'm ready for the big stage. 

After, we all headed back to our house for some lunch and playing.  Mom got this super cool bouncy house from her boss.  I'm sure you are all surprised to hear that Amelia was too scared to get in it.  Kaiden, Tess, & Norah showed her how cool it was but she was still not so sure.  I think they got her in a couple of times...but it took lots of coaxing.  Seriously....on Sunday after everyone left dad gave her another chance to play all by herself in it, but she still wasn't in to it...so I got in.  I loved it....I immediately crawled all around in it.  I guess we now know who the adventurous one in the family is.  
Hold on there, Heidi.  This whole loud air blowing, wasn't my cup of tea.  That doesn't mean I have no sense of adventure.  For example, I fly really high on our swing.  You know who also could swing high.  All the Noecker's they could touch the leaves with their feet.  Whoa!

Back to me....I even got presents for my special day.  I did not expect that all!  But it was awesome.  I got my very own Bible that is just like Amelia's so we don't have to share!  And I got some special picture frames, super cool blocks, picture frames, a really pretty bracelet, and more....even some icy pops!  Thank you all again, I am one lucky girl!

Other highlights included my first trip to the swimming pool.  Aunt Rhonda took me all around.  I actually thought it was pretty fun being in the water with everyone.  Of course, I thought it was fun too.  I even put my feet in the hot tub so I could hang out with the big kids.  Mallorie and Jason sang me some super cool songs.  They are talented!  It was a long day with no nap, and going to bed a couple hours late, but all worth it.  It was so much fun to spend time with everyone.  Mom & dad even got to have some fun with a boys golf outing and a girls night out.  Fun had by all!

watching a movie with the boys

Luckily it has been a pretty low key week so we have fully recouped for this weekend!  Until next time, Amelia & Heidi OUT!



Enjoy some more cute pictures from the big day.



















I love going upside down.  Look familiar?

Proof that Heidi does pick on me too!

Did you hear about all the rain we got one morning?  It was pretty cool.  Mom bought me some rain boots that I am itching to try out, so I'm hoping for another good rain!

Not a lot in this video, just showing my crawling skills...and my super cute outfit from Aunt Rhonda!
