A Baptism and Baby Blessing

The 28th was a pretty special day for our family. Ashton was so excited to be baptized. He told the Bishop in his interview that we weren't making him be baptized but that he really did want to be baptized and it was his choice. Bishop also mentioned later that when he talked about getting to live in Heaven again because we are baptized Ashton said he was pretty excited about that because his Grandpa Marv was there. I always tell him that's one of the reasons that he was named Ashton so it's pretty special to hear that he feels that connection with him also. The baptism was awesome and Ashton even played "High On The Mountain Top" on the piano for the musical number.
So grateful for David being a worthy priesthood holder and a great Dad! After Ashton came out of the water and David hugged Ashton my heart wanted to burst. I love these two boys.
After Ashton was confirmed Rachel was blessed.
David's parents drove down and we were so happy to have them here.
My parents were here too and my Mom graciously did all the logistical stuff like making punch and setting out cookies so I didn't have to worry about that at all.
I always want to say I love"our little family". The kids are little but I guess we've grown far beyond little.
What a great day. The church of Jesus Christ is on the earth again and I am so grateful for that knowledge!

That's so neat to do both together and have all your family there! And what an awesome "little" family you have! Every time you post I think how cool it would be to be your neighbor!
