Today was such an amazing day! Our sweet Colton was baptized this morning. What a beautiful site!! Colton was so excited and a little nervous but he did great! He walked out with the children's pastor and smiled at us from ear to ear. (Yes- I cried.) I am just filled with pride for this boy. Not only is he sweet, loving and smart but he is a follower of Christ! He knows the Lord and couldn't wait to be baptized so everyone would know that he has Jesus in his heart. What more can I want from my 8 year old little man?
Pure JOY!!!!
We had three rows full of family and close friends all there filled with excitement for Colton!! We are so blessed!
Here are some pictures of our family!

I love this next picture. Colton was giving Cooper a boost so he could see the water where he had just been baptized. Too cute!
Our families joined us at our house for a celebration! It was a beautiful day with perfect weather so we grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. The kids got to play outside all afternoon. Oh and we had some delicious and cute cookies for dessert.

We tried so hard to get a picture of all the cousins(except Baby Livvy who was napping) lined up but this is the best we could do. Oh well, it definitely shows the stage of life we are in. =)

We felt so blessed to be there on such a special day with yall. We couldn't not have been more proud either! Graham kept asking if it was Colton's birthday (he's still grasping what baptism means) but it was fun because we still got to say " Kind of!"
What a blessed day. Love all of the pics and those cookies are precious.
How WONDERFUL!! Mel, you have no idea how it blesses our hearts to know Colton has asked Jesus into his heart!! Wish we could've been there to help you celebrate him making it public. The cookies were a cute idea! Keep up the great work in raising your boys to know & serve the Lord!
