Kamryn's Baptism

What a special day today.  Kamryn turned eight and was able to be baptized on her birthday.  Kamryn's cousin Brexton who turned eight on Sunday was baptized today as well.  These two are such good friends and it was cool that they got to baptized together.  Brexton was a gentleman and let Kamryn be baptized and confirmed before him.  I bet that made Kamryn feel extra special since Brexton is usually the first.

The spirit was strong as it always is at baptisms.  When Kevin baptized Kamryn he did it in Spanish.  It was so awesome and made me cry.  I would have cried anyway.  It was a glorious day.  Kamryn was bubbling with excitement and happiness and was running around afterwards.  She just couldn't contain herself....she's so cute.

They had a nice luncheon afterwards.  Their were lots of people there to support these two cuties.  The Dunkley, Ropelato and White families were all there as well as some ward members and the Bishops of both these children. (Kam's other grand parents were there as well)  I hope Kamryn and Brexton realize how much they are loved because they truly are.

I love Baptism's!  I know that being Baptized is the Right Thing To Do!  We are being like Jesus and Following Him when we are.  The Gospel has been restored!  Joseph Smith was the instrument in which it was.  We have Prophets today that speak to God and run His church.  We're so lucky to get the Gift of the Holy Ghost to be with us when we are baptized.  He loves us and cares about us and He will never leave us....it is us who might walk away from Him but He never leaves us.  His love for us is as unconditional as Jesus and Heavenly Father's is.  Life is Best when we Follow Jesus!

Justin and Kamryn

These two loves of my life share the same birthday.  I think it's great!  When Kamryn joined our family I believe it was Justin that she bonded with first.  Kamryn was so loud and Justin would be louder than her.  Kamryn liked Justin and his teasing.  I'm so glad that they are both ours.

 Justin has always been a mini Larry, a "Chip off the Old Block".  When he was just a little guy his mannerisms were exactly like his dads.  Justin's personality is also very much like Larry's.  He's a kind soul and tries so hard to do what's right all the time.  Justin is witty and fun and others are drawn to him.  Justin is a hard worker.  He has worked at TJ's since he was sixteen.  He is Larry's ticket to retirement. ☺ Justin is smart and kind.  I'm so proud of him.  He's a wonderful big brother and cares about everyone.  Justin is so thoughtful and would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it.  In fact, the Christmas before he went on his mission he gave all his gifts to a few of Trichelle's friends who didn't get a Christmas.  His example rubbed off on Kevin and Kevin also gave up some of his gifts. Justin is a fantastic daddy and husband.  He has always been an obedient son.  I remember so well the day I met him.  My heart was changed.  We had a daughter and a son and life was complete.  I sure do love my oldest son.

This little cutie stole my heart the first time I met her.  I am so glad that she is ours.  Kamryn is so sweet and loving.  She is smart and is good at everything she tries.  Kam tries a lot of different things.  She dances, does gymnastics, plays soccer is good at art, likes to read and I am sure I heard her say she wants to play football.  She's taking after her dad and she makes everyone proud.  Kamryn has been teased since she was born and is a good sport.  She is such a blessing to all of us. Kamryn likes her time with me and that makes my heart so happy. Kamryn is a beautiful little girl and I love her to pieces!
