Dallin's baptism

My little guy was baptized this weekend. It was a perfect beautiful day. Dallin was baptized along with 5 other children from our stake. Grandpa Ric sang a beautiful song. It was a very special day that I won't ever forget.


We had so many family members come from all over. Dallin was blessed to have two of his Great-Grandma's attend his baptism and a Great-Aunt and Uncle. My parents, Nate's parents and our siblings were all able to make it. We even had a couple of good friends come. I know Dallin felt very loved and very supported on this special occasion.

 I'm so grateful for the gospel in my life. I am so blessed to have the family I have and to have the family that I married into.
To watch my husband take my son by the hand and walk down into the font was what started the water works. That and when they embraced afterwords.  I'm so happy to have married the man of my dreams and I'm thankful that he honors his priesthood and can be such an example to our sons. It was also so neat to see Dallin surrounded by the righteous men in his life as he received the Holy Ghost.
I have loved witnessing the growth developmentally and spiritually of my son over the past few years. He made this decision and he recognized how important this step is. I asked him how he felt afterword and he said, "I feel really happy mom!"




One funny story....Nate had to ask his dad how to say the baptism prayer. He could only remember how to say it in  Spanish!


Doesn't he look so handsome in his new suit??
