This is one of my favorite "traditional" pictures.
Ben's baptism day was such a great day!
He was baptized after church on Fast Sunday.
When we sat down for Sacrament Meeting,
he handed me
a little piece of paper that he had
written
his testimony
down on.
He told me that he wanted to bare his testimony.
He was one of the first to go up and did such a great job.
Watching my children's
testimonies grow
is one of the
sweetest rewards
of parenthood.
Saturday night he asked us to wake him up early.
It was already so late that we told him,
"no, because he needed his sleep".
Sunday morning,
early,
he came bounding into my room...
dressed and ready for church.
He said that he had gotten up,
found his clothes
and got dressed in the bathroom
so he wouldn't wake up his brother.
He came out to the kitchen to get breakfast
and saw the clock...
1 a.m.I asked him what he did when he noticed the time.
"I just went back to bed with my church clothes on!"
He was so so excited!
I can tell that he is really making an effort
to be helpful and make good choices.
Such a great guy!
I can't believe that my
SECOND CHILD
is this old!
For some reason the drain wouldn't stay plugged in the font.
When they went into the water...
it did not even come up to
Ben's waist!
Ben was quickly baptized!
Nate said that in the
short time
they were in the bathroom
changing into dry clothes
they heard the
font
drain-
COMPLETELY!
