Saturday April 18th--Baptism Day!

This was a wonderful day. Our oldest son, William was baptized. My parents were able to come into town for it. Mom gave the talk on the Holy Ghost and Dad said the opening prayer. We also had a few friends that were able to come. Grandma and Grandpa Clayton weren't able to make it since they are in Tonga on a Mission and unfortunately our siblings live all over the US and weren't able to make it either. Luckily he was baptized with Devin, another little boy in our ward. He has a lot of family around, so it made for a nice big group. It would have been pretty small if it were just our family! There were 9 baptisms going on that day in our building. William's favorite gift from that day is his very own set of scriptures that he got from Grandma and Grandpa Stephens. They have his name on them and he loves to follow along and read from them during scripture time. He stays on top of it now and doesn't let us miss or shorten scripture time one bit.

Grandma and Grandpa Stephens waiting for
all the fun to begin. Actually Grandma was
very nervous at this point. She doesn't like
talking in front of a lot of people, but she was
a good sport and did a great job on her talk.

The Clayton boys and Devin. They were all very
excited that day.



After the baptism, we came home and had a little
party. We ended up with way too much food, but
it made for nice leftovers the next day!
