Jake decided to start his baptism day by running the Nestle 5K he beat his last time by 30 seconds and ended up 2nd over all in his age group. He was under 26 minutes, but just by a hair.
we had all sorts of family travel up for the event. And it was so sweet to see my boy get baptized. He said the best part he remembers from today is coming up out of the water and seeing all his cousins watching him. I love that, that is his memory. He is surrounded by aunts and uncles and grandparents that love him and can be great examples for him to follow through his years. My favorite part was watching Taylor and Jake play "I am a Child of God" on the violins together. It was so beautiful and a proud momma moment to see both my handsome boys with their instruments. :)
Am I really this old... I guess so, I knew I was going to have to grow up one day, but it came so fast. I still remember MY baptism day like it was yesterday. How do I have 4 boys now. I am so grateful for them. It has been a blessing to raise them and helps me learn and grow myself way more than I thought possible.
Some really Luke personality coming through here. He can't have the day be JUST about Jake right?
The food was yummy, it was pork chalupas and my sister was able to borrow her brother in laws snow cone maker. For the 100 degree day, that was a life saver. So fun for all the kids.
We got some baptism pictures done of Jake... and boy is he handsome. I posted some for all to see.
And one final one -- It's my favorite. Love his eyes and smile in this one. Jake we are proud of you that you have made the first step and got baptized. I know you just have the start of a testimony right now, but it will grow and grow and if you need help you have many people who love you that will help you along this path. It's true Jake.. what you did today is a correct ordinance and will help you to return to your heavenly father. the gospel has help me find peace always in my life and I know you will enjoy that same blessing with the comfort of the Holy Ghost by your side.
8 is great! We love you JAKE!
