Wesley Got Baptized!

Today was the day! Wesley decided he wanted to wait to get baptized with Brody, so he waited a couple of months.

 He was so excited to get baptized the night before he talked about getting up early and getting his baptism clothes on, he had it all planned out.  Well, we had a bit of a late night the night before, so when we went to wake him up he was still in bed, and at some point in the night he must have got up and started getting ready, because he had his pajamas off and he was sleeping in his church pants and belt.  

 Wesley had the ward missionaries come over a couple of times to teach him some lessons. 

He did great, he even made a little small talk with them.

 It was pretty cold this morning, but could have been colder.

 I am so grateful for Mike and his good example to the kids. They sure are lucky to have him.

Mike baptized and confirmed Wesley. Grandpa Max and Grandpa Randy were the witnesses. Mike, Tyson, Trevor, Spencer, Grandpa Max, Grandpa Randy, Bishop Skeen and Brandon Buckway were in the circle when he was confirmed.

 Brody and Wesley were the only baptisms today, it was nice that it was all family or people from our wards. Emily Goss gave a great talk about how life is like a maze, and how we are trying to get back to Heavenly Father.  Then Bailey and Borgstrom cousins were able to sing Gethsemane. They all did a great job.

Wesley and Brody are such good friends, it was so nice to have them baptized on the same day.

 Wesley is so lucky, he has so many people that love him and came to share this special day with him. Besides most of his extended family, the Ward missionaries, Melissa Peterson and Michelle Clark, his primary teachers, Zack and Dawnyle Haugen and their kids, his school teacher Mrs. Harris, the primary President Tena Thompson and her counselor Kalie Weisman, and Bishop Skeen.

After the baptism we all headed back to our house for lunch. We had sub sandwiches, several different salads, chips, cookies, and some cake.

 We've never had so many people in our home at one time, it was crazy. Luck for us the weather held out and the kids were able to go out and play.

Then just like that they were gone!

I am so proud of Wesley for choosing to be baptized.
