"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Again with our awesome Aunt!!


My sister-in-law Sarah offered to take pictures of Charity for her baptism. I can't tell you how grateful I am that she had this idea!!! I'm really slow when it comes to thinking of this stuff and I probably would have thought of it when it was too late, but thanks to Sarah we had some beautiful invitations to send out, and now some perfect photos of Charity in her white dress to remember this time forever! I really can't thank Sarah enough :)

It was such a beautiful sunny day last Tuesday, so we had to take advantage of that! Charity was so adorable the whole time. Being her goofy self, pretending to not like having her picture taken :) Trying to be modest and humble, but not quite succeeding :). I LOVE Charity's fun personality in these situations. Sarah mentioned that we will have to engrave this memory of that day in our minds so we can compare it with how she is when she is getting her Bridals done :) I personally think she will be exactly the same :) We'll see. I loved letting her be in the spotlight though, and I think she did too. I'm really pleased with how much Charity has been looking forward to this time and how much meaning is has to her right now. I hope she really can cherish this experience.
Here are some of my favorites from the many Sarah took. I would probably put more on here if I didn't think it would make it harder to pick which ones to put in my book later :) I have to really limit myself. Sarah always does such an amazing job!









I felt so bad that I bought shoes that were a size too big, but taking them off made some really cute pictures I think!
















I cannot get over how cute her face is in this one!!






and of course her HAIR!!! Maybe I'm weird for loving this one so much, but her hair has always been so much her trade mark.... I thought this was perfect!!!













I love her face in this one too....





















































At the end, as we were walking back to the car, Charity started dancing around, and I am just SO glad Sarah whipped out her camera and started snapping pictures of her then!! Look how cute they are!!!! Sometimes I like the candid ones more than the posed.... but they all turned out so incredible!
I'll never forget Charity moving around, different poses, pretending she doesn't want Sarah to take a picture, then staying in the posed position after Sarah puts the camera down and then barking at her to hurry and take a picture!!!! LOL!!! The girl is hilarious!!
As we were getting out of the car at the temple she says to me, "Am I going to have to like pose and stuff??" I smiled and said, "yes" and then she grunted :) I think she ended up having a good time :)

You'll have to tell Sarah that if I have the money next year I totally want her to take Sierra's pics and do an announcement. It all turned out so great!! She's very talented!!
