A Baptism & a Birthday

What a fun and exciting day Saturday was for Tanner. He has been waiting for his baptism with much anticipation. He was the only person in our ward to be baptized this month so he got to have the day as well as the program all to himself. I never knew the kid was so opinionated. He knew who he wanted to give the talks, the prayers, be witnesses etc. . . He even had the menu for the luncheon all figured out. We did have to do a little tweaking of the menu just so we didn't have German Pancakes and chili (as well as a few other random things) in the same spread.

Thanks to all those that were able to be there and share this special day with our family! We loved having you come. For those family members that couldn't make it, we know you can't make it to everything but we missed you and wished you lived close enough to be with us for all these great occasions. Just know we missed you!!
We also got to celebrate Khloee's 2nd birthday the same day. Unfortunately, we kind of tried to make it a special day for Tanner and Klo got overshadowed a bit. We only got a couple of pictures of her and her mom even opened her presents thinking that they were Tanner's and he had just put them back in the gift bags. Lucky for me she didn't know or care that it was her birthday and she just went on with the day surrounded by cousins and cupcakes!She is learning the art of "Shoving it all in"
from her cousin Payton!

Congratulations Tanner! Wyatt had his baptism day all to himself too. It makes it so much more personal and special.
Happy Birthday to Khloee. It is nice when they are young and don't notice they have been overshadowed. She looks like she enjoyed the food!

If khlo really wants to do the shove right she needs more of the food to fall on the floor. Keep practicing. It was fun to have another reason for us to get together again!
