Robbie turns 8....His Baptism


Dec. 6th Robbie turned 8. This was a very exciting birthday. In our church, once you turn 8 you can be baptized and become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was really looking forward to this event. We waited until we were in UT so family could be part of this great day. The smile on his face shows his excitement and happiness. We are so proud of him, and as parents, it was hard to hold back the tears. He was fortunate to be baptized in really cold water :) which will always be a memory.


Rob baptized Robbie.

This was after the baptism. It was a very special day and thanks to our family who was there to support us.

Baptisms become such special occasions when it's your own child. It's so rewarding to know that they are taking steps in the right direction. I love your family picture on top of your blog!

Wish we could have been there to celebrate his special day. His cheesy grin is so full of joy...it just makes me happy looking at him.

Welcome to scouts!!

Sydney was just baptized this past Saturday. It was such a neat day. We had over 15 of our friends come to support her with their families that aren't even members of our church. Such great friends we have that were so excited for her. Our parents both came out along with Jackie. My dad and Jackie spoke and did an awesome job. Sydney cried as she came out of the water along with other times during the service. Can't believe how our kids are growing so fast! Congrats to your little guy!
