Newest member of the Church






As most of you know Cody got Baptized on Dec. 26, 2007. It was a great day for our family. Hal was so excited for him as he would have the blessings of the gospel, givin' to him in the same church building and the same font as Hal did. We are so proud of him in the ways that he has grown in the church, and is a great example to his friends and family. Uncle Devin and Aunt Becky sang a beautiful song for him. When it was time for him to get in the water with Hal, Cody was very reverent. Hunter got up to the very edge of the font to watch. When Cody came up out of the water he said in a quiet voice "Daddy I didn't need to hold my nose." Then back in the dressing room I was helping him get dressed and he said "Mommie look at my feet, there red." I looked down and said "WHAT HAPPENED". Cody told me that Daddy was standing on my feet, so they wouldn't fly out of the water. (poor Cody) Later that night I was telling the story and Colin and Becky said that Hal did the same thing to them when he Baptized them. We laughed and had a good time with it. What a great day

Your blog is looking so good! I love the pictures and the sweet story! It's funny some of the things that happen when you get baptised. Cody will probably forever remember Hal standing on his feet and laugh about it as an adult. We love and miss you guys lots!
