Baptism Day!


This is my day, my baptism day. Jesus was baptized the very same way.
Maybe I'm little, and maybe I'm small, and maybe my learning has only begun,but Heavenly Father I'm doing my best just love me and guide me and I'll do the rest.
Father I promise to walk in thy way, on this my baptism day.


Just before the event!

A new clean kid.
We love Caleb and are so happy he chose to be baptized. It was such a neat day.
We were thankful that Ryan's parents made it here, after some stress with planes and having to wait and extra day to leave, we count our blessings that they made it.
I know that we chose to move, and we were fully aware of the consequence it would be in not having family at all special events, but the reality is often harder than the thought of it.
We missed family alot, but were grateful for friends who came to our house after to help us feel not so alone! Thanks to all, we truly appreciate your support

I really wish that we could have just jumped in the car and come. We were all so sick though that you would have wanted us even if we could come.

Caleb I am so proud of you for the decision you made to be baptized. It is an exciting day. You are a great kids and we miss you. Emma is excited for you. Thanks for your great example.

Caleb you are so grown up now! You look like you have grown so much since we left. We so wished we could have been there. We went to a little boy's baptism named Lydon about the same time and it made me so homesick for you. He is 10 but only about as big as you are. His Great-grandparents tend him and they joined about 7 months ago so he started the missionary lessons and made the choice to be baptized too. He was just as excited as you were and his Grandma is now going to be baptized in a week. Wished his mom and dad would make that choice to.
You are such a good example to your younger brother and sisters .. hang in there and BE YOUR BEST and DO YOUR BEST!!
We love you soooooo much.

Sorry we missed the big day! We had gotten home at 4:00am that morning and were crashed. It was a long drive. So proud of you Kaleb! We also found that Jeremy didn't give Colton his mail so we didn't get his birthday invitation until the day after his part. Jeremy got in trouble and I didn't even tell Colton so he wouldn't be so upset. Sorry we missed it! Looks like it was a fun birthday for him!

Wow!! I remember watching him crawl in church when we first moved in. And now he is eight. What a proud day.
