Parker's Baptism


Parker's baptism on Saturday was really wonderful. He was baptized with his buddy, Jake, and they had so many family and friends who came to share the day with them. The service was at 9:00, so we had a busy morning getting ready and over to the church on time. After the boys were confirmed, we celebrated with some donuts and juice and everyone signed Parker's guest book. It was a beautiful, sunny morning!



Jeff made sure we took group shots . . . 



We hurried over to Miles' last teeball game and then had lunch at Babe's, in Roanoke: one of our favorite spots! The rest of the day was relaxing. The kids went swimming for the first time this year, and we lounged around.


While Parker and Neal were getting dressed, we showed this little slideshow. I thought I'd share it here, too! Enjoy.

Love the video! I wish we could have been there to share his baptism day. We were there in spirit. You are going to turn around and he will be ordained to the priesthood, then opening his mission call! Enjoy this time!
