Time Flies

We just recently celebrated Bradyn's 8th birthday and his baptism. I can't believe how fast time flies. Eight short years ago, I was pregnant with this cute little boy who was so active that I would hold my stomach tight, trying to get him to settle down. He would turn, kick, wriggle and squirm all over the place - bounding into my ribs, bouncing on my bladder, definitely my most active baby!! He was larger than life back then, and he's gotten even better over the last eight years.

Bradyn is an absolute joy to have in our family. He is funny, intelligent, energetic, and very most importantly...he is kind. Don't get me wrong....He's not perfect. Nobody, at least in our family, is. But he's dang close. He is so sweet with his little sisters. A big helper for his mom and dad. A thoughtful grandson. And, now, finally, he is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

His baptism was such a beautiful day. It was on Saturday, August 1st. He was so excited. He had practiced with Dad what was going to happen and how they were going to do it (Bradyn's not a big fan of water in his face, so practice was essential!!). He got up that morning, ate breakfast, took a shower and went to get dressed. He came out of his room dressed in a black suit, white shirt and red tie. It brought tears to my eyes. He looked so handsome and so much like a junior version of a missionary that it just took my breath away. The baptism went well and we are all so proud of his decision to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.


We love you, Bradyn. We're so glad that you're in our family and we love you so much!!
