Michael's Baptism

I know I am falling behind, again, in keeping a record of the chaos that goes on in our house. So in my attempt to remember those wonderful, crazy, excited times, here is Michael's baptism day. Yes, it was on December 5 and today is January but we won't focus on that. Michael was so excited to be baptized and on his birthday!! How awesome is that!! We were so happy to have so many of our family and friends there to support us and celebrate with us. Nana, Papa, and Aunt Shell's family made the long trek from Parowan. We had are good friends, neighbors, and family join in the celebration. Grandma gave an awesome talk on baptism and Nana spoke on the Holy Ghost. I was so glad I didn't have to speak. It was GREAT!! We felt the spirit so strong and Michael said he felt cold on the outside but like fire on the inside!

Two peas in a pod! My two Michaels all dressed in white!

After the baptism program we went back to our house for "brunch" which turned into more food than all of us could eat! Yumm, thanks to everybody for helping it was wonderful! Michael got to have birthday "brownies" since he won't eat cake. Crazy, I know!

I put magic relight candles on his brownies, but they didn't work too well! Darn!!

He had a great birthday and everyone was very generous! He was especially excited to get his own quad, scriptures, and scripture stickers.

These two rebels look like saints all dressed up in their white shirts and ties. But don't be deceived. Randy and grandpa! We were so glad our adopted grandparents, Randy and Jeanine could come.

Kimmy and TJ, you wouldn't know they are big rock stars!

Grandma, Jeanine, and Daddy! What a happy time!

There is no mistaking the mischievous grins on these two. Uncle Curt and Aunt Tiff.

Our very good friend Megan, Nana, and Aunt Shell, Papa was busy putting in alternate heat in the basement. He always worries about us and takes care of us! He's a great guy!!

Opening presents!!

Afterwards we had a great time playing guitar hero. It's one of Michael's favorites! (mine too)

Thanks to everyone who came and supported Michael in his decision to be baptized. We are so proud of you Michael!!
