Baptismal Day

Ethan and his cousin Ethan:)
Marc's mum Marion and Uncle John, and way in the back is Morgan:) Marc's mum, step dad Morgan, and Andrew came all the way from Canada. We were So happy they were able to come.

Baby Colt! He is such a cutie:)


My Dad, Mom, Jessie, Andrew, and the kids!
Edwin, Dan, John, and Malisa

Our reunited family from England, who just recently moved to Utah! It's been great having them so close now. We are really grateful they were able to be here and share this special day with us.









"Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." John 3:5

Where did the year from age 7 to age 8 go? We have done our best to prep Ethan for Baptism since birth. We decided when he turned 7 that we would dedicate a complete year to having lessons on baptism. Before we knew it, we had a month before the "big day" and I was concerned maybe we hadn't done enough. Then I quickly remembered that Ethan has had the most wonderful Primary Teachers and where maybe we fell short they picked up the slack! Also, Ethan is very blessed to have such good Grandparents and exteneded family to encourage him to do what is right! We are SO grateful to our family and friends for being such great examples! We love you!

PS
Uncle Bill and Uncle Brentie,
Ethan adores you and misses you guys a TON! He has wanted to do everything you guy's do...Thank you SO much for leading good lives and staying close to Heavenly Father.
