| Maddie's family who came to the baptism. |
Maddison was baptized on Saturday!!
We are so proud of her and the choice that she made to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Her daddy baptized her. The water was very cold but she was very brave. After being put under the water she jumped back up and left the font. She was so cold. There were two other kids who also go baptized. One of the speakers afterwards said that he truly saw the children of the latter days "springing" out of the water.

| Michael wanted to be part of the pictures. He was a little/lot jealous of the attention Maddie was receiving. |
 |
| 4 kids of ours ahve been baptized. We only have one to go in about 3 years. Wow, am I really that old? |
 |
| Samantha is so happy for Maddie and wanted to make sure Maddie felt loved! |

| Grandma and Grandpa Dew could not be there because they are in Iraq on a mission. Instead they sent her this cute bracelet and bow which she wore and felt so pretty. |

| Our cousin Ammon also celebrated his Birthday in Febuary and he got accepted to BYU. He is very excited!! |
 |
| Maddie and Ben both got baptized on the same day and enjoyed a birthday in February. |
 |
| Grandmommy gave Maddie a beautiful Madam Alexander Doll. Maddie loves it. |
After the baptism we joined our cousins at Bruster's for their customer appreciation day. If you wear PJ's you get a free 2 scoop waffel cone. Our cousin Ammon also works there and took our orders. It was fun to see him. He recommended an almond, coconut, chocolate ice cream that was amazing!!

Last night Derek and I watched an episode of
Sheri Dew Present: Believers in Hollywood. Here she interviewed Michael Flaherty. In the interview he said something to the effect, When we pray we usually tell God the things that we want Him to do to help our lives go the way we want. What we need to get to is the point that when we pray we ask Him what we can do to help Him. That is true faith.
That really hit me and I hope that I can ask the Lord what He wants me to do more that I can ask Him to help me.
