Alex was baptized, Saturday, July 6.
We are so proud of him and this big decision. Nick and I try to frame this event as their choice. We spend the whole year they are 7 years old talking about it. He received his own scriptures for his 7th birthday, so he would feel the responsibility of learning for himself if this was what he should do. He chose to tape the Gospel Standards next to his bed, so he could read them at night. We are so proud of our growing boy and his growing testimony.
Look at Alex and Nick!! I am so proud of them!!
Family picture!
Our Stake Center is next to the temple.
Alex had to get there 45 minutes early, to practice a song.
There were 10 children being baptized, so they sung "My Heavenly Father Loves Me"
Due to logistics, we all came 45 minutes early. Fortunately, there is a small park next to the temple.
Alvin doesn't have any white shirts. So, he's playing outside... in 80 degree weather... in a sweater.
Mom of the year award, right here!
Rilie got a hold of the camera.
Some of the pictures turned out well.
Our friends Michael and Rebecca.
Alvin, tough guy!
Every time he saw this picture, he squeels "JESUS!" So, it's a keeper!
Rilie adventures! He's wearing the kuspuk I made the boys a long time ago.
If you are making one yourself, do not give in the desire to make the rick-rack go all the way around the pocket to remind you of gingerbread men. AK Native people will glare at you.
