It's Great to be 8! Part 2

My handsome Jack was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on July 6th and it was a wonderful day! The baptism included 3 other kids from our ward at church, so it was a big one-in the chapel with lots of people.

The main thing Jack will probably remember from his baptism day? The water in the font was cold because the heater was broken and he had to be dunked 3 times! Makes for memories.

He was so excited and giddy through the whole baptism service. After his confirmation as he walked back to his seat he was just glowing with happiness. I loved seeing it and knowing he was feeling the Spirit.

Here are some pictures from the big day.

So excited before the baptism:

He had both sets of grandparents there:



One set of Great Grandparents:

His Aunt Natalie, Uncle Alex, and cousins Daniel and Zachary:


And the Allen uncles:

Who get a little crazy:


After the baptism we had a little party back at our house with family. Here he is with the cake he picked out:

 It was a wonderful day and he's a wonderful kid.

  2. Ohhhh, so cute! Wow everyone is getting so big! It's so funny...when I first saw the picture, my thought was wait, Jack isn't old enough to get baptized!! Yes he is! He's the same age as Justin! But I remember your kids as they were when we used to see each other all the time!
