Asenath update

This is how she looked before we cut her hair

She has seriously been my happiest baby by far

I love how hard Esther was trying to be in this picture, It's as awkward looking as a homeless person in the background of a bridal photo

Oh my sweet angel. You love mommy so much. You just can't stand being away from mommy to long. You do very well when other people hold you and you give smiles and laughs to everyone. You still have a verocious appetite not so much for solids just yet but leche. The only solids you really like to eat are kix, apple sauce and carrots. You are gaining weight like it's your job. Mommy's arms get so tired during the day that I'm so grateful we are going to Hawaii so your loved ones will get a chance to hold you. You also love being in the carrier and can fall fast asleep in it. You get so excited to see me that you start rocking your left foot back and forth. At 5 1/2 months you started to say "dada". You are now 7 months and I'm still waiting for you to say "mama". No hard feelings. You often skip your naps unless you fall asleep in the carrier, carseat or if mommy takes a nap with you. You sleep when I go to bed. You are a night owl. I believe your eyes are hazel just like your sister Eve, in fact in many ways your facial expressions remind me a lot like her. Your poop just started to smell. Yah, not excited about that one. You're above average in height and weight now. I'm so glad I decided not to take the pediatrician's advice as far as supplementing with formula when you were 2 weeks old. So far your lips have never touched formula and I feel so pleased with that. You have bitten me 4 times which was not fun and I actually got tempted to start bottle feeding but decided not to. You are so loved by your family. Your sisters just absolutely adore you. They can often make you smile when youre sad. As well as daddy's skills on the guitar can calm you down quite quickly. Keep growing and we'll keep loving you up everyday.

Juanita's Conversion Story

I feel that Heavenly Father has blessed me with the desire to play softball. The fact that the Lord was guiding me to play softball became more evident to me when I was offered a scholarship to play ball at BYU-Hawaii. The thought of attending BYU-Hawaii just seemed right and good at the time so I attended college there. My first year in college I was so excited to learn, play, and party. I discovered real soon that the students who attended the university had fun without drinking. I also discovered that the people were faithful and they had a strong sense of purpose and Identity. This compelled me to go on a spiritual search. I decided to take the lessons from the missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As I took the lessons I was taught things that I heard before and things that were new to me. Such as the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. These were things that were a challenge for me to believe. So I took these challenges up to the Lord and I asked him if the Book of Mormon is the word of God and if Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I'm so delighted to share with you that I do know that the Book of Mormon is true and that the Prophet Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I know that it's true because of the power of the Holy Spirit, because of these truths and much more I decided to be baptized and serve the Lord. Getting baptized was the best decision I ever made. It's because of this choice that I enjoy the blessing of life today. The church is true and I find myself indebt to the Lord forever.
