Josh is baptized!

We are so proud of Josh and his decision to be baptized! We were lucky enough to have family here to help celebrate. Of course, Mike's family was there... but my parents, along with four of the cousins were able to travel from Alaska for the occasion.

Josh requested Chicken cor don Bleu for his special Baptism feast (good taste for an 8 year old, eh?). As we were getting ready, there were little bumps along the way. For example, once the kids got dressed, they went outside and were supposed to just stand there quietly and look at the grass. An impossible task, I know. But I wasn't thinking clearly. Anyway, Caleb took a spill in the mud, needing a complete change of clothes. But even with that, we managed to get to the church on time, to set up the chairs and refreshments, leaving just enough time to practice their special musical number.

Once it started, Josh got to hear from both sets of grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa Trentadue gave a talk on baptism, and then the cousins sang Nephi's Courage. And then Grandma and Grandpa Grover gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. Josh was very happy to have so many family and friends supporting him on his big day!

Thanks to all who came... especially those who travelled sooooooo far to come! We love you all... and appreciate everyone for the wonderful examples you are to our boys! We couldn't do it without each of you!
