Austin's Special Day

Austin was Baptized on July 5th. He will always remember this special day cause it was part of our Independence Day Celebrations. We even lit off fireworks that night to top it all off. I am proud of him cause he made the choice to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint. He is a great kid and always tries to do his best and choose the right.


A lot of our family came to see the Baptism. Grandma laurel gave a great talk about the Holy Ghost and how the Holy ghost is a comforter. She made Austin a cute blanket to help him remember the comforting and warm feeling that the Holy Ghost brings. Grandma VerDon read a cute poem about Baptism and she showed the pictures of a scrapbook she made to help him remember the covenants he has made.

Steve did a wonderful job with the baptism and the confirmation. He said some neat things to Austin about reminding him to choose good friends and continue to listen to his family for strength. Dad even got a bit choked up during the prayer. (I have only seen him cry a handful of times) He even told Austin to be a good example to his brothers and SISTERS! Yea, sisters. Does that mean we are going to have another child in our family and it will be a girl? He totally denies that he said it..............
