Nick's Baptism

Today was a special day for Nick. Not only was he baptized today, he was confirmed a member of the church and received the gift of the Holy Ghost. I was truly touched to see my son reach this special milestone in his life! He was so excited and had the biggest smiles on his face. I started to get teary eyed and of course Nick started to giggle and point at me from the stand as I wiped my tears. Today was Olivia's first experience at a baptism. She laughed really loud as the children were immersed. As the doors were closed to the baptismal font, she freaked. Apparently she was not happy that it was over. It was a bit of a joy kill as she was a stinker the rest of the time. Grammy Linda made a special trip to be here today. Our friends the Williams, Taylor, and Nelson Families joined us and helped take part in Nick's confirmation. Our new Bishop attended as well. We'll be an easy family for him to remember as Jack was his first baby blessing and Nick was his first baptism as Bishop. After the baptism, everyone was invited to join the Taylor's at their home for food and good company. When we got home, Nick was surprised with his own set of scriptures. He told us today was the best day ever! We couldn't agree more!

Glad we could be there, it was truly a special day. We got home at 11:00 pm and woke up in a rush, this morning at 7:50 am, only to find out it was "Fall Back"!

Congratulation to Nick! You look very handsome in your suit. I'm happy you had a very special day.
