Ryan's Baptism

Ryan was baptized the first Saturday in September. It was a special day and also a very hectic day because it happened to be the day of the first football games of the season. The baptism was originally scheduled for 2pm and Ryan's game was at 3pm in Woods Cross, which meant that we wouldn't be able to do both. We gave Ryan the choice to miss his first game and get baptized or play in his game and wait a month to get baptized. He decided he would rather get baptized and miss his first game because as he said "there would be other games." What a good choice! As it turned out the baptism was changed to 1pm which gave us enough time to have Ryan baptized and make it to his game by 3pm. So we went to Zach's first game at 9am in Centerville, came home and had a luncheon with family, went to the baptism and then went back up to Woods Cross for Ryan's game. Like I said it was a hectic day but a good one too. Thank you to all of our family members who came to support Ryan on this special day.

I can't believe how big and grown up your boys are looking. It's bittersweet, isn't it? You have a beautiful family. What a great decision he made too to get baptized and miss the game. In the end he was rewarded and got to do both.
