Grace's Baptism

Grace was baptized on October 10, 2009. She was so excited. We started getting a countdown at 5 days. She would wake up and say, "Only __ days until I'm baptized." I was happy that she was so excited.

We had many family members in attendance. We missed those who weren't there, but know and understand traveling is hard (been there done that). My mom, grandma, and sisters,Robyn & Lea Ann and her 5 boys, came up from Las Vegas. Dustin's parents, and brother and sisters, Spencer, Wendy, Taryn, and Shandi and their families were there as well. Our friends Matt and Camille were there too and her church leaders!

Grace was so giggly in the font. She said she felt like she was going to float away. She only had to be "dunked" once, she did it perfect. It was neat to be there right after she was baptized. When the boys have done it, Dustin was the one to help them after. It was fun to be the one to help her and talk about her experience. I told her how lucky she was to have been baptized with her friend Courtney. They are only a day apart in age. She said the water was warm. A totally different experience for me, my water was cold!

She was showered with so many gifts! Thank you everyone. She is working on getting the thank you notes out. Just a list for us to remember:

Scriptures- Grandma Taylor
CTR necklace w/ birthstone and book- Grandpa & Grandma
money- Grandma Betty
CTR butterfly necklace- Jeff and Staci
Primary Songbook- Lea Ann & Kyle
Baptism pillowcase- Taryn & Adam
Journal- Wendy
Willow Tree figure- Matt & Camille
Baptism towel- Shauna Passey (primary teacher)

I'm so happy for her decision to get baptized. It really was her decision! She was so excited and couldn't wait to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! We love you Grace!





We have more pictures, but they are on Dustin's phone. I'll have to add them later. These were after she was baptized.
