Julia's Baptism

Julia was baptized on Saturday, July 6th at 10:00 am.  It was a beautiful sunny day. 

Julia was very excited and couldn't stop smiling.  She was so cute.

The baptism was a success and Mitch was able to keep those long legs of hers from popping out of the water.  Julia didn't plug her nose though and got some water up it!! After the meeting was over Mitch told me that he had remembered everything that he needed for after the baptism: towel, underwear, etc. so when he went to change after he was a little bit surprised when he pulled out his underwear to find he had packed a dry top instead of bottoms.  He had to wear wet underwear for the second half of the meeting!

Although four other kids from the stake were baptized that day she was the only one from our ward.  This was special because her baptism and second half of the meeting were just for her.  Mitch baptized and confirmed her, Grandpa Swany and Grandpa Stuard were the witnesses, Grandma Stuard played the piano, Megan was the chorister, Katie gave the Holy Ghost talk, Laura and I said the prayers, and Kenzie and Tayler sang a special duet, Julia's favorite primary song We'll Bring the World his Truth.  After the baptism was over we had lunch at our house with our family.  It was such a nice way to celebrate our Julia's big day!
