Hannah's Baptism

Our sweet Hannah was baptized on September 5th. What a beautiful day! Her father baptized her and her grandpas witnessed. Her brother Jonny was just recently ordained an Elder and was able to stand in the confirmation circle. After the confirmation, Grandpa Hardy spoke about the Holy Ghost and recharging your spirit. Afterwards, Hannah sang "When I am baptized." Her song was so sweet it made her mother cry. Her mother spoke about how Hannah is the Hebrew word for "grace" and how much her family loves her. Hannah received a nice set of the Holy Scriptures and many nice presents from her family and friends. The Bishop gave final remarks and said Hannah looked like an angel. It was such a special day. We love our Hannah!

Eagle Court of Honor

August 30th was Jonny's Eagle Court of Honor. We held the ceremony at our home in the backyard. This was a special day for Jonny and our family. We made it a big party with two of Jonny's good friends, Hayden Smith and Alex Viehweg. These boys grew up together in our old neighborhood and Stratford East Ward. They wanted to receive their Eagle Awards together. Congratulations to our fine young men!

The Big Splash

We took a trip to Disneyland this summer and this was Hannah's first time on Splash Mountain. She is finally tall enough to ride the "big" rides. She loved it! She was so brave, she even went on the GhostRider Coaster at Knottsberry Farm!

While we were checking out the photos for Splash Mountain, some lady commented on Emily saying, "Oh look, that little girl was so scared she was praying!" Haha. Though perhaps we need to rethink our action photos. The man in charge of photography yelled at us for having a "prop" i.e. Jonny's water bottle. We had to coax him into selling us the photo. He didn't want to give it to us!

Those rowdy Hardys. :-)
