Cindy and Ali's Baptism and Alex has FIVE!!


I guess since Wendy and Connie are keeping blogs, I will join them. We just got back to Sparks this evening after a long drive but it was so worth it. We were in Orem, Utah to attend the baptism of my grand niece Cindy Sowards and my grand daughter, Alison Bench. Cindy and Alison were born on the same day, August 20, 1999 just hours apart. They were also blessed on the same day and we had a big family picnic afterwards with both babies. It only follows that they should be baptized at the same time, which they were on August 25th in Orem. What a beautiful day it was for everyone. It was so good to get the families together again. What a delightful day. We all went to bed exhausted and happy.
During the night our Yorkshire Terrier, Alex, whelped her third litter. She had five pups; four girls and one boy.......which was very much unexpected since the last two litters were ALL boys. Walker, the proud papa was at her side the whole time. Upon discovery in the morning we made her comfortable with the puppies in the car and along with Walker, Preston, Rick and Nell we headed back to Sparks. Alex, Walker and pups are all doing well. I bathed Walker and Alex after we arrived home and washed their pen really well. They are resting comfortably. I will post pictures tomorrow!!
