kaden's baptism

This cute little boy got baptized on Saturday.

We just missed our stake's day for February, and it was a long wait until March.

He's been pretty excited and a little nervous about the whole thing.  We got to the church a little early so we could take a couple of pictures and get dressed.

He was pretty excited by those who came to be there and those who participated:

Mimi and Papa (Mimi bore her testimony)

Bluths

Sheffields

Lagas

Grandma (gave closing prayer)

Ryan and family (Ryan and Tanner were the witnesses)

Ottleys

I don't know why I don't have any pictures of anyone else.  Weird...and a little lame.  There's a picture of Grandma and Kaden on Facebook, if we're friends.

When it was time to do the actual baptism, he got a little freaked out by everyone looking at him.  It probably was only a minute or two (but felt like at least an hour), before we talked him into closing his eyes so he didn't see people watching.  Kyle turned his (Kaden's) back to everyone, and then he was good to go.

He had a huge, happy smile on his face as he was getting out of the water.

Kyle did the confirmation, with Ryan, Papa, Cory, Logan, Dave and Bro. Homer in the circle.

We had cookies at the church.  He thought having everyone over to the house would be too loud and crowded and crazy.  Cookies were good.  

We are so proud of him.
