Caden's Baptism


Caden was baptized on July 19!! It was so much fun. My dad conducted the meeting and said the opening prayer, my grandma gave the talk on Baptism, Dan baptized him, Dan made a neat slideshow of Caden's life to this point, I gave the talk on the Holy Ghost, Dan confirmed him, and my mom gave the closing prayer. Oh, and afterward we had root beer or orange floats, which were yummy!  Caden picked everything the way he wanted it (except the slideshow, that was supposed to be a surprise, but he figured it out).  I didn't know if I'd be able to talk, but surprisingly I didn't cry.  I started to at the very very end, but I don't think that counts.  Anyway, Caden picked two songs, When I Am Baptized, and Families Can Be Together Forever. He did a great job of picking people to do things and was very excited and involved. It was awesome and we are so proud of who he has become and the choices he is making.  It was an absolutely wonderful night!!!  We love you Caden!!!!

Well I started crying just reading your post so that is amazing that you did not cry during your talk. That is just so cool that Caden is already 8 years old. Your little family is such a good example to so many people.

Congrats to Caden! That last pictures is sure full of babies! I won't allow anyone to pick Families Can Be Together Forever for our occasions. I would bawl like a baby and that's just not pretty =)

Wow, how awesome is it to have your oldest baptised?! I was at a baptism a couple of months ago and was thinking about how it's only three short years until it will be Kimball. Crazy! Tell Caden congrats for us!
