This was such a special day for our family. In the morning Reid blessed Everett in church and then in the afternoon, Brooke was baptized. It was so great to have so much family here. My mom and sister Elizabeth came down from Utah and Reid's parents and sister Amber and grandparents came down from La Plata, NM.
During the blessing I felt such a deep gratitude for Everett for the spirit that he has brought to our home and for the special part he has to play in our family. I am so grateful that he came to our family and that I get to be his mother.
Brooke's baptism was really special all of her grandparents spoke and bore their testimonies of the gospel to her and Amber sang "When I am Baptized". Brooke is such a special girl, she has a great understanding of the gospel and was so excited to make the choice to be baptized. She has such a strong spirit and I am so grateful for her and the influence that she has in our family.
I am so grateful for our family and for the gospel and how it strengthens our family and helps us to become the people and the family that we can be. I love watching my kids testimonies and understanding of the gospel grow. I know that my life has been so blessed by the gospel, and by striving to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and I want my kids to have those same blessings, to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ planted deep in their hearts.
