The day started out perfectly. Brett and Briana came up and met us in Mentryville. We went hiking and then took some cool photos by the historic buildings of Mentryville, including the old schoolhouse.
The day continued with perfection. This handsome boy was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am so proud of him, his decision to follow Jesus Christ, follow Heavenly Father's commandments, he is a good boy with such a sweet spirit. He was so nervous. He doesn't like to be the center of attention.
He said he felt so good when he got out of the water, not nervous anymore. He said it was fun! :)
Sierra played the piano ("Come Follow Me") while they changed.
Then Ashton and his big boy cousins, Nixon, Rossi, Lincoln, and Rocky sang "Nephi's Courage".
Uncle Norris gave the talk on the Holy Ghost.
Then Ashton received the Holy Ghost surrounded in a circle of great men who honor the Priesthood they hold and Ashton received a great blessing by his daddy.
Bishop remarks, "...only get baptized once through our whole eternity, we as a family and ward family are here to take care of each other..."
Sang closing song, "When I am Baptized" led by Aunt Briana and piano played by Aunt Miriam
Prayer by Granny Annie
Love our family!
I LOVE being his momma!
How is this happening! They are both getting so tall!
So fun to be with cousins!
Came back to our house for veggies, pizza, salad and homemade mac and cheese. Had brownies for dessert and one of Ashton's favorites, rainbow sherbet. :)
Pleasure to have Great Grandpa Elmo present for such a special day!
What a precious day with such a sweet spirit! Perfect!
