David is baptized

January 24, 12015

David was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  We have never had so much family in town!  Grandma & Grandpa Ordyna, Bob & Julie Tomlinson and Gigi & Papa came into town.  It was a great weekend, the highlight was the baptism. 

 David was excited and so darn cute.   

During the program the twins weren't cooperating.  Sam ripped off his tie and Ben started running up and down the isle.  I took the twins in the back and sat on the floor with them.  After a few minutes of trying to get them to sit still and listen, I resorted to opening a few of the donut packages that were treat bags for people to take home.  I was sitting on the floor with powder donut crumbs all over my skirt. I had a small pity party for myself for a minute.  I thought, "why did you not ask someone to watch the twins?  you should be up there sitting by your son?  Great...now my legs are asleep.      

 Here's the amazing thing.  I know Heavenly Father loves mothers. The twins actually sat and I was able to hear the speakers and the lovely musical number.  A friend came to the rescue and distracted the twins with her amazing ipad and phone.  I think I got more out of that program sitting on the floor in the back corner than I would have in the front row.  The spirit washed over me and touched my heart.  I will always remember that baptism.  Both grandpa's gave wonderful talks.  I appreciate Grandpa Ordyna's testimony on baptism.  He is a wonderful teacher.  I loved my dad's testimony of the Holy Ghost.  He spoke of 4 ways the Holy Ghost speaks to him: 1. still small voice 2. calm feeling 3. 'just feel so darn good' 4. Warmth (I loved his agonly about having a warm bath in your heart).  That is appilcale to David who loves baths.  We are so blessed and honor to have such wondeful family and friends who support us.  

 Grandpa Ordyna came equip and earge to help David with his first pinewood derby as a cub scout.

 Grandpa Ordyna really knows what he's doing.  David took 1st place!  Wow!

Snow day

This winter we have had several snow days and school delays.  Even when it's 9 degrees outside the kids went out in the snow.  David was outside the most.  He would make snowmen by himself and then crash into them with his sled.
