Tate's Baptism - It's Great to Be Eight!

There are some days in life that just shine a little brighter than the rest.... yesterday was one of them! Tate turned eight yesterday and was able to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He has waited a long time and prepared himself by making good choices and following the Saviors example. He was so excited to be baptized and had this beautiful smile plaster on his face all day long! How can you not smile when you see a child who is truly this excited about doing what is right.

What a handsome little man! Eight years have seriously just flashed before my eyes... how can it be that he is even this old already?

The whole family before the baptism... Brock's shirt is permanently un-tucked ... no matter what I do! Tanner and Brennan are quickly gaining on me too.. It won't be long at all before I look at them eye to eye!

This is one of my favorites... my two handsome men dress in white. There is nothing more precious than to see your husband dressed in white performing the baptism for your child. I am the luckiest girl on earth to be married to such a FINE man and to have four of the finest young men and one heavenly little daughter in my home each and every day!

It may be a LONG time before Tate has 100 people sing Happy Birthday to him again!!! What a bonus to have his baptism be on his actual birthday. We had so many people from the ward come to support Tate and the rest of our family yesterday. I truly feel very blessed!
