We started the day at a neighborhood breakfast at John's brothers house, No pics. It was fun, I am so glad they live so close to us.Next we hit the fourth of July parade. Thanks to Brett and Chelle Markham, we actually got some decent seats with shade. It was a lot of fun to watch the kids enjoy it so much.
We headed out a few minutes early, to avoid the traffic, but still caught lots of necklaces from Taco Time, and Ties from Missionary Mall (only in Utah). Traffic is one thing I hate about the fourth of July, I don't like feeling like I can't get out. We had a lot to accomplish before Noah's baptism.
When we got home, we found out this little beauty, was coming back to haunt me. Just before I sent these out, I noticed I had accidentally put the 5th on this one. So I tried to make sure I sent all of this particular one to people out of state, who wouldn't be able to make it. Well, like classic Amy I screwed up, and caused some family stress about making it to the baptism. Which with my stress and tension sent me into a bit of a tail spin. John warned me, he told me the weeks leading up to Noah's baptism were going to be stressful and full of trials. He felt strongly that Noah was a special spirit and that Satan was going to make it very hard for us to enjoy this time. He succeeded. I had kept it together pretty well until this, but... lets just say my husband stepped up in major ways. I love him so much!
I was unprepared for how little time I would get to take pics of Noah. So these pics are not that great, and I will just have to enjoy the ones I took for his announcements. ADVICE to Moms of 8 year olds getting baptized....GET THERE EARLY AND GET THE PICS BEFORE EVERYTHING STARTS!Noah was so excited! In the end that was all that really mattered! Noah did a wonderful job and gave a beautiful blessing when he confirmed Noah a member of the church and gave him the GIFT of the HOlY GHOST. I am so blessed to have such honorable men in my life.
When it was over, we partied at my parents!
The two witnesses! LOvE our DADS!

I am so glad that it all ended perfect! What a handsome little man you have there! Congrats to Noah!
John is right, Noah will do great things, so sad we missed it.
Thanks for the advice on getting pic's, can't believe Kimball's is almost here!
Just thought I would point out you put Noah gave a good blessing instead of John. Love ya
Very cute fam pic!! Love the outfits also, I've been wanting a fam pic, but can't find or think of outfits, I also can't find school clothes for the kids if you come across anything cute/decent priced please let me know!!
What a big day, but it seemed to turn out great. I love the picture of your family! And everytime I see your hair I just love it. It is such a cute cut!
I think this is one of the best pictures I've seen of you - the colors are fantastic and I love your dress. Your comment about a Missionary Mall has me both scared and confused. I am going to resist the urge to google it since I'm not sure I want to really know what it is.
