MY BAPTISM DAY
What a wonderful day. First we woke up to a beautiful blanket of white snow on the ground, how appropriate for a day that Zac would be wearing all white to be baptised, and his little sweet cousin Annalyn be blessed in all white.I can not express enuf how grateful I am for all the wonderful love and support we had from so many people. The ward was truly amazing to have everything perfect. We had SO many wonderful family come to be there on the special day. There was over 75 people there to support Zac and Annalyn.
Before Zac went to be baptised, I had him stand up and look around the room, I told him to look around at all the people that were there, to know they are all so proud of the choice he made to be baptised and they all love him very much.
Zac asked Uncle Scott to give a talk on the girt of the Holy ghost. He did wonderful and it really meant a lot to Zac. Then Zac and LOTS of his little cousins and some friends from the ward sang I am a Child of God. It was perfect.
I felt the spirit so Strong, I know Zac made the right decision. I know my mom was there on that special day, and I know many people felt her there, and I'm grateful for that.
After the baptism I asked Zac how he felt, I just loved his answer! With the biggest smile ever he said... " I feel really really good mom It's like I feel bigger, like lots bigger, and my heart wont stop beatin' really fast and hard," all I could do is tell him to take in that feeling and don't ever forget it, that it's the Lord telling him how proud he is of him. And I pray he will never forget that amazing feeling.
I know I am writing a TUN... but I just have one more thing.
After the Baptism and Blessing, we had everyone come to have sandwiches. It was also wonderful. It was so nice having all the Nelsons and Briscoes and Mayfields and Steadmans there. The kids all had so much fun, and everyone I think really enjoyed themselves visiting... the only thing that would have made the day better was to have the Phippins here, we really missed them that day.
Thanks everyone so much for all the love and support.

I love Baptism Day's! But if you think that was emotional just wait till he gets the priesthood. The change that seems to take place when they are performing there duties is remarkable. And you get to see that glimpse of what they are to become. (It tugs at your heart string)
Fablehaven is a great book and if he wants to read them I say let him. I will also say if you have any reserves read them first.
You look so pretty...your hair is getting so long! What a special day for Zac and your fam... I'm glad it went so perfect!

That is such a cute picture of the 3 of you. It rally was a great day. I thought it was really nice and Zac looked so handsome! Jaxson had so much fun singing I am a Child of God that He keeps wanting to play it and sing with it and learn the words better.
Look how cute you all are. Cindy told me how beautiful you looked in the picture so I had to come check it out. You look so pretty and your boys are so handsome. Congrats. We are glad we got to be part of the baptism and blessing magic.
Oh my goodness you have been so busy. I love so much that I can see and share these special times with your cute little family. It makes me so sad to not actually be there. I can't believe that Zach is 8! He is so special. I still remember spending the day with him in SLC when he was like 2. Your girls take after their mom, they are totally beautiful!
Wow! I can't believe he is baptized! Congrats little Zac!
Daxon yelled up the stairs today "MOM YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS" I came to the stairs and he read the last paragragh and said they really missed us mom. He was smiling so big. It made his day!
It was a really nice day. THanks for having us! I loved reading all that you wrote. It was such a special day and the feeling there was great. Scott was soooo nervous about speaking (the one thing that he truly is scared of) but he did put a lot of time into it and he did do good. HE MUST love you guys. ha ha. You are all awesome and i love ya! Rae
