Catching Up- K's Baptism

I can't believe I have an 8-year-old!  How is it possible that time has gone by so fast?  I started my planning for his big event by sending out these:

(I've changed the info of course!), and by assigning food for the family to bring.  We also have been making our family home evenings all about his preparation for the last few months to get him all ready for the big day.  I was so happy my parents could fly up for the weekend (even though life was very crazy for them at the time), and we also had all of Foo's wonderful family and some very dear friends come to help us celebrate this big step in our K's life.

I've been to many, many baptisms, I've spoken and felt the spirit at many, many baptisms- but I've never felt it so strongly as when I watched my newly-turned 8 year old enter the waters and receive the Holy Ghost for the first time.  What an amazing day!  Congratulations to our K for his decision and next big step!  Here are some pictures from our day!

Here's K and Foo before the service:

Kaden wanted to sing with his cousins for the special musical number- M was up there pulling faces the whole time:

The extended family:

And while we were trying to get a picture of just our family I came across this one on my camera- I thought it was "Classic Kristie" (you have to say that like J.T. on SNL)- me thinking something was just absolutely hilarious (probably something annoying I did) and everyone else looks thoroughly bugged and ready to get the heck out of there:

Yep, at least I think I'm pretty funny-
But we finally got a family picture where everyone is looking near the camera at least and smiling, notice Foo having to pin M's arms up in the air to get her facing in one direction long enough to take a picture.
