Cooper's Baptism


Cooper waited five months until Tanner turned 16, because he wanted his older brother to baptize him.


Hunter was asked to speak on baptism...


The boys were asked to sing a song...


Headed to the font...

Dad speaking on the Holy Ghost...


Sawyer FINALLY with a smile on his face!

Clearly Sawyer was NOT feeling like singing along. THAT made me laugh.
LOVE that Cooper waited for his Brother, McKay is already BEGGING us to make Jane wait. We'll have to see what she wants to do.
What a neat day!

I wonder who in our family knew this was happening yesterday? I'm going out on a limb and saying the girls only.

Well, congrats to Coop. And big kuddos to Jarrod for letting Tanner have the honors. I'm sorry we all missed it.

Oh, sad that I missed it! And YEAH!!! for Cooper! What a great day. Thank you, Amy, for being the photo-documentary mom so that we could enjoy it vicariously! I, too, laughed at Sawyer's enthusiasm in the song picture.

Congratulation, Cooper. Sorry we couldn't have been there, but your Mom's pictures are terrific. Thanks, Amy Jo. Loved that the boys were to sing--Sawyer was so enthusiastic, I can see that (Smile). I'm sure that Tanner was thrilled to be able to do this for his brother. What an honor to be able to baptize his brother. Love to all, Aunt Shirley

That brought a tear to my eye! How sweet is Cooper, waiting 5 months to be baptized so his brother could do it! We think that will happen at our house too....not the 5 months, but the older brother baptizing the younger sister!

Way to go boys!
