Pumpkins and Baptizms

Ok this was supposed to be posted last Sunday (11/2)...but our internet was being weird, so it is a little late!












Justin and I didn't really do anything for Halloween. We just hung lights and carved pumpkins. Here is a picture of our pumpkins. The silly face is mine, and the pirate skelaton head is Justin's. We had fun carving them together!












Yesterday, Justin and I went to Burley and Justin had the privilage of baptizing his nephew, Braxton. He was a little nervous (actually, I don't think nervous is the right word, he was more anxious and excited! After all this was his first time baptizing anyone.) He did so good, I was very proud of him. We are also very proud of our nephew for choosing to be baptized. Today we went back for Braxtons confirmation. His dad confirmed him. It was great! Justin kept saying how honored he felt that Braxton asked him to be a part of this special event.

That's so cool that Justin could be the one to baptize his nephew. It's so great that you can be so involved in their lives! Also, we carved some similar pumpkins, Toshia! Come on over and check out our Pumpkin Carving post. Too funny!

looks like you kids are definitely having some young marrieds fun together still. Halloween has always been fun. It is an honor when you're asked to baptize a family member. Wish you could have been to your cousin's, Alison's baptism in Roseburg in June. Very special occasions. Hope all is going well for you guys. Leave some notes on our blogs someday! Luv Grandma and Grandpa
