Easton's Baptism

Wow! I really can't believe I am about to post about Easton's baptism. Crazy! Do I REALLY have an 8-year old already? How did that happen? Where has the time gone?!?!

But, yes. That is what this blog is about. And, what a great day it was!

We bought Easton a suit for the special day. He looked so so handsome! What a little man!





Of course, Avery needed in on the action!

He was really excited about his new suit and it was very obvious that he felt very "cool" in it! :)

We had so many family members come to support Easton. Dave's parents and all 4 siblings and their families were there. My parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle and family, cousin and family, and my brothers and their families were there. It was awesome to have everyone there in one place! We felt very loved!




We had the program and then they released our ward to go to the baptismal font. There were 3 children being baptized from our ward. About half the audience got up for our ward! There was no way that we could have all fit in that room. So, our family all stayed in the hall and waited for the other 2 baptisms. It was kind of nice to just have our family in there for his baptism. We almost filled the room!

When Dave pulled Easton out of the water, Easton wiped his face and said, "Not cool!" I was a little surprised at that response! :) But, he told me later that he didn't think his dad was going to hold him under water for so long. He really was only under for a second or so, but to him it felt much longer, I guess! Silly boy.

While we were waiting in the room for the confirmation, Avery, Paisley, and my cute little niece, Addison, pretended to give talks at the podium.




It was all fun and cute until Addison fell off and got hurt. Then the game ended! :)

Thank you to all our family for supporting us. I know that with so many little ones in the family, it is not the easiest thing to get the family all dressed up and to the church on a Saturday morning. But, I was so grateful for each person who came. I am so thankful for a big close family. I love you all very much!!



I am so proud of my little boy! I am so proud of his choice to be baptized and for his small but honest and pure testimony. He has the biggest heart. I just know that he is going to do a lot of good in his life. I love you, Easton, so much!
