Taylor's Baptism

Such a great day. Hard to believe our family is old enough for a baptism!  

A candid moment Emmy captured while we watched the font fill.

Taylor said he was a little nervous beforehand but as soon as he went under the water he said he felt calm and the Holy Ghost comforted him. By the time he came up he wasn't nervous anymore.

Taylor chose Bryce to baptize and confirm him.  

Taylor bore a sweet testimony and was excited to have friends and family in attendance.  

It was great to have Grandma, Grandpa, Emmy and Jake be here for the special day.

 

Ming and Shan and Ming's parents came to celebrate as well.

Donuts summarize Camryn's baptism experience. We served donuts after the baptism, and while Taylor was in the font being baptized Camryn was in the kitchen: "I was sneaking donuts." She was.

Great to be Eight!

Taylor had an especially fun birthday with family and friends in town for his baptism which was the next day. The party started with lunch at Jethros, and after school we celebrated with decorations, presents, Don't Eat Taylor, a birthday dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, brussel sprouts, spinach salad, and cupcakes. We had a great time and it's hard to believe that eight years have come and gone. Happy 8th Birthday Taylor!!
