Brenton is baptized.

Wow I know most of us remember the day that we were baptized and some activities that may have happened on that day, but I know Brenton will NEVER forget his.

Upon arriving at the church we noticed that there were a bunch of cars in the parking lot. Really not a big deal we are happy to share the church. Well they were also having a wedding going on and they seemed to be using the room that we needed for a dressing/throw all room! Then we noticed something else, the font was locked and not filled! It takes an easy 2 hrs to fill the font and that was two hrs we did not have. After calling everyone we could think of and getting no where the elders walked in with a key. Thank goodness Brenton was adamant about having his "favorite Elders" at his baptism other wise I don't know what we would have done. 

Brenton was so cute about it all, he just sat at the back of the room and watched everyone around him help make his big day happen. He, at one time, looked up at my mom with those big blue eyes and said, "Nana, I have waited 8 years for this and I am NOT leaving until I get baptized!" Although it probably may have been the coldest font baptism ever,  Brenton was still all smiles.

I am so proud of Brenton and for the choices that he has made in his life. I am so proud to be his mommy and honored to be trusted with him by our father in heaven.
