[Bap.tism]

Sunday was a special day....


Marlee has been waiting for this day. i still can't believe she is eight.
gma/gpa B. bought beautiful, engraved scriptures+ the zebra print case Marlee wanted. glad they were able to make it. along with my dad+ maureen. I'm so greatful for my family+friends that made it & made the day so special. I couldn't have done it without my mom. she was such a huge support+ help to me. Marlee loves her so much & it was a huge sacrafice for my mom to be there with all the [smells]. my mom is allergic to so many things... but, strong smells are the worst for her. love you mom. xoxo.
Nate & I bought this necklace for her.
i hope she remembers this day.
[necklace from lisa leonard designs]
I themed it "love one another"
You can print them for free on beckyhiggins.com
my mom & i put together baptism bags for each of the kids.
Marlee had a baptism box full of treasures

gum.ball jars

I forgot to upload a picture of the program :: but the highlights were

grandma Jo with Marlee

Grandma Marla gave a talk on the holy ghost
[she did awesome] even the cutest props
Grandma Marla & Marlee

Grandpa Rand said the opening prayer
Grandpa Burton said the closing prayer

Brian Swanson, Grandpa Brasher, Great Grandpa Brasher, Grandpa Rand, Craig Nelson, Paul Patane, and Nate confirmed her.


The whole day was perfect,  i even remembered the extra pair of dry underwear. After it was over I realized I had not taken many pictures. first off probably because garrett had fallen asleep. not really in a happy mood.
but here is a few shots that we got::
the boys before garrett fell asleep


It's great to be....
