Our little Jake got baptized today :)! He was so sweet and so happy. We are so grateful to all of our wonderful family who joined us for this happy occasion. Thank you John and Mike for being a part of the program. While we sat and waited for jakes turn to be baptized I asked him if he had liked the talks. He said "yeah, I liked Mike's and John's the best!" Which was super cute because Mike didn't speak, he gave the opening prayer. But it was a great prayer :)! John gave a fantastic talk on the Holy Ghost. He told the kids how it is the greatest gift we can be given but if we don't "receive" the gift and open it and use it, it doesn't really do us any good. He also compared the Holy Ghost to a stoplight. Red- telling us to stop doing bad things. Yellow, warning us of danger and slow down before we get into trouble. Green, this is good for you, do these things. (That's the gist anyway :). It really was a fantastic talk. Jacob is quite happy to be baptized and we are so proud he made that decision. I am so grateful to have such a sweet little boy.
To explain my title: After David and Jake got ready in their jumpsuits Jacob turned to David and told him he really liked his jumpsuit,he thought it was really cool, and he would like to own one to wear. He can be the funniest little thing :)!

We are SO glad we got to be there for Jake's baptism! He is such a cool kid with an awesome personality! Sorry that we couldn't stay longer and play more games! (Although, I like that Marcus still needs his mommy when he's sick.)
Congrats, Jake!!!! Oh how I wish we could have been there! I'm glad you had a lot of family there though! Who is the little girl next to Emma? And is that Amy holding Jace? I didn't recognize her with her hair dark! I like it!!! Can't wait to see you next week!!!!!
That's such a great picture! We miss all of you!
