Lasts

Whenever you celebrate "firsts" sooner or later you have to face the "lasts".  Sometimes that's a good thing, and sometimes it's a reality check.  Our baby girl just turned 8.  She is our last to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Just like she was my last to have a first tooth fall out, my last to start kindergarten, now she is my last to be baptized.  Reality has started to hit me... I'm not getting any younger... my kids are going to grow up and move away sooner than I want.  It's a bitter sweet situation.  I loved having my babies, and yes even the terrific two's.  But, I also love watching my girls grow up into the beautiful young women that they are becoming. 

 

 

FHE last week was spent up on the mountain with the main goal to get pictures of Miki in her baptism dress to get her announcements ready.  I had so much fun taking these pictures.  She is so full of life, and so excited to be baptized. 

 

 

 

I'm so proud of her and her desire and excitement to be baptized.  I'm also happy that she has two older sisters who set such a great example for her to look up to.  I hope she knows how priceless that is.

 

 

Being the archery deer hunt and all Kay took along his bow "just in case".  As luck would have it we spotted this two point on our way home.  And as even greater luck  skill would have it Kay hit the deer.  This is one of those happy "lasts"... the last deer tag in the Walker household to be filled this year.
