Me and My Boys

Matt's dad said the opening prayer and Caleb played the opening song, "If the Savior Stood Beside Me." Kate's father gave a talk on baptism and then Jared and Ariane played a piano duet, "The Spirit of God." Matt baptized Carter and Jared and Zane stood as witnesses. Drew gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and Matt confirmed Carter a member of the church and Carter received the gift of the Holy Ghost. Jared played the closing song, "Baptism" and Kate's grandma said the closing prayer. We had some cookies and fruit for refreshments.

After the baptism, we ended up having my family over for games and pizza since Carter's baseball game was cancelled due to weather.

I hope that it was a memorable day for Carter. He is such a sweet boy. We are proud of the decision he made and hope he continues to follow the example of Jesus Christ.

Carter's and my birthday landed on Good Friday this year so he had the day off of school! Carter requested playing at the creek with friends and cousins. It was cooler weather, and the creek was higher due to hevy rain a few days earlier, but everyone still had a good time. After the creek, I took Carter to a birthday lunch at Chick Fil A. We went to a musical play that night that my friend put together and that my nieces were performing in. Then I got some girl time when some friends took me out to ice cream later that night.
