The weekend following Aubree's birthday was filled with much happiness and joy for our family, surrounded by our closest friends and family. Jake's parents (Tommie and Lynn Farrell) and brothers (both Tommie Farrell (TW) with Olivia (cousin) and Chris Farrell with Callie (cousin)), all arrived Friday afternoon into the evening. Friday night, we met us with all of my siblings and mom at Gus's Fried chicken to celebrate Aubree. We accidentally left the ice cream cake at home, one just in the refrigerator, so after the best fried chicken ever we came back to our place to open gifts, sing, and enjoy cake.
Then on Saturday morning, September 8th, 2012, our beautiful Aubree made a covenant with her Heavenly Father and became a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Personally, I was overwhelmed by the love felt that day and LOVED being surrounded by both sides of the family. Several of our friends from our previous ward came to support Aubree as well and the room was standing room only. Some of the friends included: Rob and Debbie Swanson, Steve and Tiffany Sandridge (with their girls), Marcia and Tony Taylor, Linsey Devey, Levi and Jenn Fearnley (with son, LJ), Sue Reuschoff, Josh Beers (with daughter Elle), Sandra Leumai (with daughter Celeste), the Ransoms, and all of may family (Even Papaw), minus Michael. Michael drove to Jackson to site with Mr. John so that dad could come up How I would love to live near both sides! It makes me sad some days to know that will never happen. Anyways, her baptism was perfect and you could see the love that she and her daddy had for one another. Due to all the excitement and I did not arrive early, I neglected to get pictures at the church but did get a few at home.
