 My dear, sweet, husband Matt 

baptized our son, Cody.

His baptism was very special 

and very memorable.

{In a cute, sweet way}

Let me explain...

After Matt finished the baptism prayer

then dunked Cody under the water,

his little hand did not completely go under.

If any part of you does not go under water

then the whole baptism has to be done again.

The second time around went perfect.

So Cody can say he was baptized twice.

Later, Matt was telling me what he had 

said to Cody right before they entered the font.

It was about making sure he didn't

let his feet pop up out of the water,

 not even one little pinky toe!

Otherwise, the baptism has to be done again.

 He didn't think to mention the hands too. 

:)

After Cody was baptized we all moved to

 another room in the church where we had 

a little program and then his confirmation.

My Mom, spoke first.

She did an amazing job.

Just like I new she would.

Cody's sweetheart Paige,

sang a beautiful song for us.

So tender and sweet!!!

My awesome Dad confirmed Cody.

It means a lot to me, that my Dad

could be a part of this special day.

F.Y.I.  I have so many great pictures

it is so hard to pick just a few.

So believe me when I say this is 

just a few. I have a about 200 or so.

Here are some of my Favorites...

Love his blue eyes!!!!

My Mom & Matt's parents got Cody a set
of personalized scriptures. 

 My Mom totally out did herself by making
several dozen number 8 sugar cookies to
hand out after the baptism. So yummy!!!

She individually packed each cookie!

I loved this whole idea and wanted to make them myself.
I never found the time to do so. I am so thankful
for my Mom and all her hard work and time to make these.
