A Special Day for a Special Boy!

The Birthday/Baptism Boy and his Proud Daddy!

Gehrig had the special opportunity to be baptized on his very birthday (just like his daddy)! What a special day he had (we all had)! He is an amazing boy and we are so proud of him. He was so excited to be baptized.

I can't believe our baby (ok, our first baby) turned 8 last week!

Like Father; Like Son

Gehrig chose a Golf Cake this year. A few of our friends and family were able to join us for the baptism and a small party after with food, cake, presents and good company!

I think he was most excited by his very own black leather scriptures (with his name on them) and case. Or was he more excited with. . .
the picture of Christ that Mimi & Papa gave him (drawn by a good friend of the family who went hiking with us last time we were in Idaho--Steve Spencer)?Carlianne & Blake had to miss the Glen Beck Christmas Show to spend this special day with us. We're glad they were here for Gehrig's special day. As you can see, Isaiah was glad too!
That evening we went to Temple Square to see the lights! Unfortunately, they turned them out about 5-10 minutes after we got there, but it was a spectacular 5-10 minutes!

He reminded us that he was 8 and just baptized when Gehrig was born! My how time flies!A perfect end to a perfect day for a perfect boy!! We love you Gehrig!
