Baptism...

Our little 'Jack-attack' was baptized on Saturday and it was practically perfect in every way!  I am so proud of his decision to be baptized and follow in the footsteps of the Savior.  He is such a good boy and he was very excited and a bit nervous for his big day.  He wanted to wait until his Uncle was home from his mission so that he could baptize him and having Uncle Jess baptize him was extra special.  We didn't invite many people from the ward, but it's a good thing because with all our family in town, we filled the whole room.  Almost all of his favorite people were there in support of little Jack, it was really heartwarming.  We wish we could have had all of our family there, but there are some far distances for everyone, and we know they were there with us in spirit!  The only thing I wish I would have done differently is to have taken more pictures.  I wish we could have had a big group picture of everyone who was there!  The program was beautiful and so special.  Jack picked out each and every person he wanted to speak and pray and even picked out the songs that he wanted us to sing.  His Uncle Jason wrote and played a beautiful arrangement of How Great Thou Art especially for Jack. We appreciated him sharing his musical talents for us all.  I couldn't have asked for a better day.  I was overcome with emotion as my sweet little boy was baptized and then confirmed and given a very sweet blessing from his Dad.  He is just one of my favorite people in the whole wide world and I am so proud of him.  Here are some pictures of his special day! 

 As we were walking back to the car after taking pictures, I snapped this quick picture because I couldn't help but think that this could be him in 10 years walking down the path, holding his scriptures,  preaching the gospel as a missionary.

Since we had his baptism in the middle of the morning, we did milk and cookies.  

 Little donut bags as a thank you for coming!  The donuts made an 8, hence the "It's great to be 8!"

Thank you to everyone for your Love and Support!  Jack had a super-fantastic and very special day!

Also...Dan shared his Birthday with Jack's special day!  Can't forget to mention his special day too! Even with a very humiliating Duck loss, I think he still had a pretty swell day! 

Happy Birthday, Babe!
