Ben's Baptism

Ben's Baptism was such a great experience. I don't know that I was fully prepared for how strong the spirit was. It was a really neat experience both for Ben and us as parents. We had lots of family support for this event, which was a fun surprise. I can hardly believe that Ben is old enough to take this step, but it was fun to see him excited and ready for the event. He invited his school teacher who he really admires, so it was fun to have her share in this special moment. I love this picture of Luke and Ben in their suits. Ben looks so big and handsome, and seeing the boys I love looking so sharp and can't even begin to understand how blessed I truly am.

Megan was glad to have one other girl to get dressed up with. She basically got Violet ready for me. Two girls with no sisters.
Ben's Grandma (Luke's Mom) makes blankets for all of her grandkids when they get baptized. She is currently on a temple mission in Washington DC, but she still managed to get one done for Ben and all the cousins his age. She is amazing, and Ben loves his new blanket along with the rest of the crazy bunch at my house.

I thought about you guys this month as I was thinking Ben would get baptized. Can't believe he is 8! I remember when he was just born and so small. Time just flies. What an awesome experience I imagine. And they do look so sharp in their suits. Miss you guys.
