i know the classic phrase for moms to say is how did they grow up that fast? here i am joining the ranks and asking that very same question.
he's eight. he's baptized. and it happened just like that.
it was a wonderful day for him and for us. we were able to get granny and grandpa here from guatemala and grandma and grandpa here from utah and even the thunells from california…along with all our loved ones here in arizona. i can't think of anything more special for an 8-year-old boy–to feel loved and feel the Spirit.
i am grateful to be his mom and watch him make choices that will guide and bless him. and i'm sure that he is making these decisions because he wants to. he told us about a year ago that he wanted to read the Book of Mormon before he was eight. i was blown away by that. but he wanted to do it and he did. one of the sweetest things is seeing his testimony beginning to form and mine continuing to grow along with his. i love the gospel of Jesus Christ.

You have a wonderful family. I’m always so happy to read about your life. My parents were both the only child and I had just one brother. So, I think it is extra special that the cousins could be baptized together.
Congrats Buddy! What special day!! It is kinda sad seeing all these cute kids growing up!
He’s sure a cute little Mormon!
Congrats to Dallin! What a wonderful day filled with love and family!
Great pics of a wonderful day. Thanks, Cherie.
Tell Dallin congratulations for me! I am seriously impressed that he’s read the Book of Mormon already! What a sweet boy! So, I have to ask, how did the cousin get baptized with the cast on?? 🙂
what a beautiful day! what a beautiful family! love you guys!
