Eight is Great

What a wonderful and busy week we had. Molly turned 8 on Friday and we had a big birthday party for her.
Everyone was there!
She got some awesome birthday presents. (Not pictured is the new, bigger bike mom and dad got for her.) Grandma Jody got her an American Girl Molly doll. She has been wanting one of those for a long time.
Grandma Nancy and Grandma Killian got her six cute outfits for her doll.
Aunts Katie and Sarah got her a beautiful CTR locket.
Then on Saturday her dad was able to baptize and confirm her a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We were so blessed because nearly all of our extended family was able to be there. Even lots of great-grandparents and second cousins! Here we are with our Smith side (we missed you Jason and Kristin!)
Our Phillips family pictures will be coming soon...since we had everyone in town we decided to do a professional family portrait. I can't wait to see how it turned out! :)

Here's our little family on the happy day. Don't you love Molly's beautiful dress? I know she did. It definitely had twirl factor.
I am so proud of my girl and the good choices she is making. She has a wonderful testimony and she loves her Heavenly Father. She is a good example to her brother and sisters. I love you, Molly!

  4. WOW! Has Dave lost more weight? He looks younger! How was his first day of work? Working with Evan will probably age him a bit. Tell him to watch out. Maybe he ought to lose a little more weight.

  5. Sorry we missed Molly's baptism, but it looks like you had a great day! I can't believe you have an 8 year old! Our kids are getting old!!! You look pretty in your family picture. We need to get together soon!

  6. Tom and I are very proud of Molly! Can you believe you are old enough to have an 8 year-old, who's getting baptized? I don't feel that old...

  7. Oh and your shirt looks kind of see-through so every time I glance at it I gasp, but then I realize you can't see anything. But I gasp every time!
