jaedon's baptism


Jaedon was baptized today, and we had quite the day filled with fun events. Jaedon has been wanting and wanting to go on a boat. So we rented a boat through the base and headed out into the open sea. The kids loved it, and we mostly spent our time in the bayou and swam around in it. It was wonderful all around.

These next photos are of a little shoot that we did last week. While editing pictures you can see all the details of people. :) And while editing Jaedon's I realized how much he has grown and matured. He's not my little buddy anymore.


 Jaedon was baptized and confirmed by Jon. My parents were able to come and so we put them to work. :) My mom said the opening prayer and played the piano, and my dad gave a talk on baptism and the Holy Ghost. Besides ourselves the were 2 other families that came that we have gotten to know in the ward, 2 members of the bishopric, and someone from the primary presidency. We did miss other family members and especially Scott and Claudia that weren't able to make it. (Dang living far away from everyone).

 We then came home and celebrated with some pizza sticks and root beer floats and a little movie.
It was a wonderful day and we are so happy with Jaedon's decision to be baptized. He is such a wonderful boy with a heart full of love.
