Baptism Day



Felicity was so excited to get baptized. She talked about it for months beforehand. It was a very beautiful day, weather-wise, and we only wish more loved ones could have witnessed it with us.


"I have waited for this moment since the day I was born!"


"I'm Felicity times two today!" (because her name means happiness)



And seconds later, she was climbing on the jungle gym at home...


We are very proud of Felicity and the good choice that she has made to keep the commandments and follow the Savior. She is a wonderful example to our family. Felicity has always tried to be a good girl, and she is.

Congrats. Our oldest just got baptized too and now we're getting ready for Sara's daughter's baptism. I remember Reunion 2001 when these girls were all little babies. Time flies!

Those are very nice pictures. I'm glad it was such a beautiful day. It makes me already excited for when Charlie gets baptized.

Oh wow. Baptizing your oldest already. That is just beautiful, her waiting for this since the day she was born :). What a gorgeous budding testimony. And what a gorgeous little family!! We wish we could have been there. Why can't Dallas be closer to Salt Lake? Shame, really....:)

I can't believe Felicity is 8! I still picture her as the little girl who asked me, "Whatchu got in yo tummy" at the Bennion's lake house when I was 7 months prego with Zach. Crazy how fast they grow up. What a special day for your BEAUTIFUL family! Miss you guys.

Well done, Felicity! We are so happy for you. How we wish we could have been there- we remember Felicity so well as a baby sitting on JoEllen's lap the day we met the Morris Family in Jersey City. And I love her white dress- very nice.

(Happy Birthday, JoEllen!)
