Quinton's Baptism

Quinton was baptized on February 5th 2011. He was a good sport about waiting a whole month more to be baptized (mom and dad had to go on a cruise that first weekend in Jan.). We wanted to be able to do it while we lived in Rexburg near family and friends. Both sets of Grandparents were able to come out to support Quinton and we are so thankful they did.

Here's our little man posed with his new scriptures.

My boys. I'm so grateful to Quinton for his good choices and good example he is to his brother and sisters.

The cousin crew we had there with us. We love you guys and miss all our other cousins and wished we all lived closer.

We were lucky enough to have some good friends come as well. This is Lincoln and Everett Lees our awesome friends and neighbors. Others that came were the Schellenburgs (also neighbors).


A few things I'd like to note about the baptism: In Rexburg because there are so many kids being baptized each month they do a stake baptism day the first Saturday of the month. Every child that has turned 8 the month before is baptized on that day. They stake puts on a small program before the actual baptisms and then you are dismissed by ward to the font to be baptized. We had two other kids baptized from our ward that day. After our ward meets in a room for conformations and the bishop says a few remarks and there is a closing prayer.

After the baptism we went to Courtney's for a lunch/dinner with all the family that we had there. Unfortunatley we couldn't just hang out and enjoy their company, we had to get back and get the moving truck packed up.

It was such a special day and it made me so very grateful for the gospel and the anchor it is in my life. I'm thankful to have it's teachings to help me teach my children. I'm thankful for Quinton and his desire to be baptized and his desire to make good choices. He is a choice son of God and I can see his great potential through his actions. We love you Quinton and are so thankful for you.
