Brian's Baptism Day


Brian is the newest member of our ward!!!  Sam baptized Brian on Saturday, March 2nd, our Stake's baptism day.  Nine kiddos were baptized.  The chapel and about 6 rows in the overflow area were filled.  It sure was a neat experience to watch MY BOY be baptized and get confirmed.  I'm so proud of him.  The people that came to support Brian were, me, Sam, Tyler, Katie, mom, Laura, Brant, Great Grandma Hallstrom, Uncle Calvin, Sam's parents, Sam's sister, Laura, and Brian's 2nd grade teacher.
Oh, a couple details from the baptism.  So, we all get to the font room and take our seats.  
I'm sitting on the floor close to the font with Katie and Tyler.  
It was time for Brian and Sam to get into the font.  Brian just gasps and says, 
"Oh!  I've gotta take off my socks!"  and he throws me his wadded up pair of socks.  
Everyone got a good chuckle out of that!  
And then, Sam immersed Brian REALLY far down into the water (and held him down there a couple extra seconds) just to make sure that Brian was fully immersed.  
We were watching and wondering when Sam would Brian him up and out of the water.  
It was a great day.

Everyone came over to our house for some lunch.  We had homemade potato soup, fruit salad, Oreo truffles, and the best homemade strawberry ice cream cake topped with whipped cream and Oreo crumbs.  Laura, Brant, and Mom stayed and came to church with us today and had dinner with us.

Everyone came over to our house for some lunch.  We had homemade potato soup, fruit salad, Oreo truffles, candied pretzels, and the best homemade strawberry ice cream cake topped with whipped cream and Oreo crumbs.  Brian opened up some nice cards and a new set of scriptures and a scripture case from Sam and me.

Laura, Brant, and Mom stayed and came to church with us the following day and had dinner with us.  
Random Sidenote: Sam was asked to sub in Tyler's Primary class and Brant helped him out.  
Tyler LOVES his Uncle Brant and always wants to sit by him.  

Oreo truffles served at family celebration on Saturday #baptismday#oreotruffles #8yearsold
We sure are proud parents! We got a good chuckle out of his skip walk shuffle steps to and from the podium at church. And some random visitor dude gave Brian a high 5 on the way back to us. 
Great moment!
