Baptism and Family Time

Little child dressed in white,

He takes your hand, you hold so tight.

He with his arm to the square,

Commissioned of Jesus Christ, invokes the prayer.

You leave the water born anew,

And pledge you'll try his works to do.

Heavenly Father is happy today,

Because you have followed His Son's chosen way.

Remember always to choose the right,

Little child dressed in white.

Saturday morning we got up early and drove to Henderson, Nevada. Shadow was getting baptized! Her baptism started at 3 o'clock. It was on a stake level so there were lots of people there and five children getting baptized. David got to baptize and confirm Shadow. Grandma Bushar gave a talk on the Holy Ghost after the baptism. After the baptism we took some pictures than everyone went to Tasha and George's house for food. The whole thing was very awkward. But I guess that's what happens when parents get divorced and both get remarried. Alot of people get involved.

David and I! Don't look to close at my arms. I look rather chunky in this photo. Actually don't look to close at any of me, focus on David. What a handsome Devil :)

After the whole food thing at Tasha's house, the Bushar clan decided to go to Applebees for dessert. Deann and her three kids did not join us. I think they were still hanging out at Tasha's

Left to right: Christy, Selma with Scotti on her lap, Josie, Ellie with Bentley on her lap, Rachelle with Jack on her lap and Grandma Bushar with Ryan on her lap. Scott, David and I were standing. We were lucky we really didn't have to wait that long to be seated.

A look down the table at the family.

After Applebees we headed to Enterprise. We spent Saturday night there and went to church with Ann. After church we ate yummy dinner, looked thru baby clothes and then went to my parents house for a minute. Then we started the long drive home. Driving long distances is starting to bother me again. My hands and feet go numb and I get low back pain. Sorry there always needs to be some complaining....right? It seemed to take us forever to get home.

On another note, Dean's older brother Frank had open heart surgery on Friday. Dean and Delma (Dean's sister) were down in Los Angeles with him for the surgery. Things went well and Frank came thru the surgery. They expect him to spend between five and ten days in the hospital before he can go home to San Bernadino. We are so glad that he came thru the surgery. Our prayers are still with Frank as he recovers.

We love being able to spend time with family and we are really looking forward to December when we will be moving closer to family. Pretty soon there will be no more eight hour drives!!!
