Kaylee's Baptism

Kaylee was sure beautiful on her baptism day! For some reason the picture on the right and our family picture turned out fuzzy :(, but anyway, the dress on the right is what she was baptized in. It is the dress that my mom made for me and my sisters. We all wore it and Kaylee's cousin Brooklynne wore it too. Hopefully all of the little girl cousins will wear it!




It really was a special day for Matt too! I loved watching the two of them together. I was a little defensive when they were gone for a while and I said where have you guys been? They had been in the other room saying a little prayer together. I was sad at first that I wasn't in there with them, but knew that that was their time together. Kaylee and her daddy looked so wonderful in white together! I love that Matt was able to baptize her and I look forward to watching him with his arm around her more and more!



Aunt DJ did Kaylee's hair! Kaylee wouldn't have it any other way, and actually neither would I. Her hair was so beautiful!



So, I did a great job of taking pictures at first. Friday was when all of my family started rolling in. I even got a picture of the bags and shoes and stuff that started accumulating. Grandma and Grandpa had fun with their little grandsons and I had fun with them and my sisters!







Of course the cousins had a blast together!! Brooklynne and Briannyn even ended up staying an extra night and went home with Grandma and Grandpa! It was such a great time! We need to look for every chance to do that again! I didn't take nearly as many pictures on Saturday. :( That's when Matt's family came. I LOVE Matt's parents and the Heber cousins. Our families seems to always have a great time when we get together! Then at the baptism Kaylee had so many great friends there! I wish I had taken pictures of everyone! I did get one picture of Kaylee with her friend that was also baptized on the same day. It was so great for Kaylee to have that much support, so thanks to everyone that came! I'm sorry we don't have you documented on the blog!



It was a special day for me too, to be waiting with a warm towel and a hug as my oldest walked up the steps from the font. Then later, before her confirmation, we played the song "When I Am Baptized" as a piano duet. The whole day she was so sweet and so beautiful! She takes on so much responsibility as the oldest. She knows when I am starting to get flustered and takes over as a second mommy in taking care of the other kids or surprising me with a clean room somewhere. I love Kaylee and the sweet spirit that she is. It was a perfect day!
