Caitlyn's baptism....

We have been waiting for Caitlyn's baptism for years, literally years. She has wanted to be baptized for years and when she finally set the date she changed it because her dad said he would be in town on the 31st and would come to it. I know it was a big deal to have her family there to support her even if they don't necessarily agree but it was the absolute, most amazing, beautiful night. Kalli wanted to give a talk and Caitlyn had already made Thayne promise to talk when she finally got baptized so the big day was set, talks were ready. Tony D, Tallin, the Elders and Willie and Harlon sang We'll Bring The World His Truth and it sounded a little bit like angels were singing. It was just the most amazing night... something that we have all looked forward to for so long and it was just wonderful to finally have it happen! Congratulations Caitlyn, we love you and wish you the greatest success in your new adventure in schooling!!! We will miss you like crazy but plan on making lots of trips to visit and you know that you are always welcome home with us!!! Jace still not minding his mom when I told him to give me a GOOD smile.... real nice Jace!!! Jace will NOT cooperate when it comes to pictures... this is his CHEEEESE....
Excited for the big event!!!
Ready or not.... we've been waiting almost 3 years for this... definately READY!
Before the baptism... they were both seriously nervous. Jace was shaking and then he almost lost his balance when he baptized her because his leg gave out, but he did an awesome job and it was a night to remember!!!
Yeah, well that was just insane... let's see if we can get this down... Tiffany, Garrett, Kimi, Tallin, Kinzee, Kylee, Cory, Jace and Nate, Caitlyn, Kim, Kailee and Kassi... then there would be Hyrum, Elder Kicia, Hayden behind Thayne and Kami, Willie with Wyatt right in front, Kalli and Elder Davis... whew, I think that is everybody. Cory and Kylee decided that they were part of the family, Kylee went so far as to tell Kinzee that she has been part of the family longer than her, and we were missing Tanner because he was working!
Elder Flint, Caitlyn, Jace and Elder Kicia
