Stewart's Baptism Day, April 9, 2011

As it was our first child getting baptized I was all excited to make the most of it. I wanted some special items to give Stewart so he could keep them forever. So I decided on a book I made off of Shutterfly that had some of the main events that happened in his life up til his 8th birthday, then I had each one of his Grandparents add their testimony and then at the baptism I had those that were there sign it and write a little note. It worked out beautifully. Then I also had a quilt made for him by my friend Amber Johnson. She put his name and baptism date on it. It was amazing. But just as always the most special thing that day was that when he was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints the most powerful spirit filled the room. You could fill that our Heavenly Father was very pleased that Stewart had chosen to be baptized. It was very sweet. But then the funny moment of the day was when Stewart was going into the water Jacob yells, "Stewart bend your knees!" You couldn't help but laugh. Then as Paige Browning (Jessica's sister) was giving her talk she asked who was going to follow the Holy Ghost and Jacob again yells, "I'm Not", he is such a character!

What a great opportunity it is to see your oldest son Baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Spirit was so powerful, it was a moment to take in and remember.

Stewart and Jessica

These two cousins were able to be baptized in the same place, on the same day and time. It was really cool for these two to share their special day together. We are so proud of you Stewart and Jessica.

After Kaden's Baptism the cousins needed a energy release!

From the Mouth of Babes

New conversation from the boys! I bought Stewart a church shirt that was pink with blue stripes. I was having him put it on and he was a little unsure, because it was pink. I told him that boys could wear pink too. He seemed satisfied momentarily until James walks in and says, "Stew why are you wearing a girl shirt." Stew looks at me like, I told you so. Then right after James, Jacob walks in and says, "That looks like a girl!" Well that did it. I ask if he wanted to wear it or that I could take it back and get a different one. Well the answer was clear, I would be taking it back. I guess I am glad that my boys are very boy! Don't buy pink for these boys. The life of a mom of boys. Very intresting.

James: Mom do you want to know why I don't like to eat apples? Because I might swallow the seeds. (this comes from the boy that finds an excuse not to eat everything)

Another good one from James: It was half way throuh the day and I was still in my workout clothes. James says to me, "Why are you still in those clothes?" Me, "Because I haven't gotten dressed yet." James. "Well you need to put on prettier clothes on than those, those are not very pretty." This is coming from my 5 year old boy. The sad thing was, was that it was a cute workout outfit, so I thought at least.
