Jake asked Grandpa Oliphant to Baptize him, and he asked Uncle Mike to Confirm him. Ray and I gave Jake the option of daddy doing it at home with no family around, or out of town with family and he could ask someone else to do it. He chose to be baptized with cousins and aunts and uncles around. Ray was fine with this as he knew if he did it with a crowd of people around he may die. ;)
We went to Southern Utah to share Jake's special baptism day with Stetson. The boys decidced they really wanted to be baptized together and since we had needed to postpone Jake's special day several times since March, we decided this would be a perfect time.
I love this picture of Jake. He is such a great kid! I am so thankful I get to be his mom.
I had already done Baptism pictures for Jake, but Stephanie asked me to do some for Stetson before the baptism and so I took both boys out again and snapped some great shots.
Jake's three favorite guys. Grandpa Oliphant, his Daddy, and Uncle Mike
I made up the program. I think it turned out pretty good for not knowing what I was doing. :)
Jake and Stetson had a great turn out of Family support. It made him feel so good to see so many people show up to support him in his very special day. He told me afterwards that he did not know that all those people really loved him so much. I told him of course they did, they are family and family loves each other all the time no matter what.
Gossip session at the Grandpa Oliphants house. (gotta have one of those each time we get together)
I am so glad I have a family that is willing to support my kids on their special days. It meant more to Jake to see such support than I think anyone will ever even know.
