Katelin's special day finally arrived. She was so excited to have some of her family here to see her during her baptism day, and help out with the program. Thanks to all who came and especially to those who participated in and contributed to the program and brought the spirit to the meeting. The program consisted of a talk by Katelins Aunt and Grandpa, prayers by her Uncle and Grandma, a musical number by the girls, and a special slide show of Katelin and about being a daughter of God put together by her Aunt (shown during the wait for Katelin and Dad to get dressed after the baptism). Besides Brylee having a leaky, smelly diaper, and then having it drop to the floor in the middle of the confirmation, and her and Zack running around the whole time...it went great!
I love seeing the look on the faces of those newly baptized and confirmed children, and even better..hearing them talk about how it felt afterwards. Katelin said she felt "good, and warm inside". Who could ask for anything more!? Here we all are pre-baptism...

Yeah! I finally got a video to load on here! Here are the kids before the baptism, practicing their special musical performance! (Katelin, Madison, Alissa and cousins Libbie and Erin. The boys practiced with them, but when it came down to it, they decided to opt out!) Make sure to pause the music at the bottom of the blog first to hear their beautiful voices!

Beautiful!!!:D
I cried when Katelin did the solo! It is so beautiful I loved seeing the girls sing together like this. Is so incredibly special and touching for me to behold. I love it and you all so much!! :) Gma Taylor
It was a really beautiful baptism. Her solo was my favorite part. (aside from the ordinance, of course) I could really feel the spirit and I could see that she could, too. Just awesome.
So many cute things in this post! I love her pictures in her dress by the lake. They are so beautiful. The family pictures/ pre baptism pictures are great. And that video is so darling- especially her solo.
What a sweet little girl she is.
It was so wonderful to be there with your family on such a special day for Katelin. Visiting you guys makes us miss you even more. What can we say your so fun to hand out with.
