Last Saturday, October 9, was Tyler's baptism day. I was just going through pictures, and I never realized until now that we didn't take any other pictures, except for those at the baptism. I'm sad about that, because we had our wonderful families visiting the whole weekend, and we didn't get a single other picture! But at least we documented the main event, right?
Here's our whole family (and yes, I'm huge-but this baby's due next week!):
And here is a picture of Tyler and Scott:
We are so proud of Tyler for his decision to make the covenant of baptism. It was such a wonderful service. Our bishop even made it more memorable by having Tyler come up and stand by him before the baptism, while he talked to everyone about Tyler; his likes, interests, and other things about his personality. Tyler said he really liked that part. After the baptism, his Grandpa Ron gave an amazing talk about the Holy Ghost before the confirmation of the Gift of the Holy Ghost. The spirit was so strong in the room. It was a very happy day. I am so grateful to the women in my family (my mom, my mother-in-law, my sister, and my sisters-in-law) who helped so much with the food all three days: they wouldn't hardly let me stand up and they greatly reduced my stress. And of course my wonderful husband Scott, who took care of EVERYTHING else. Seriously, it was much easier on me than I'd planned.
My heart just feels so full of happiness.

And now the baby can come. :)

I'm so happy to hear it was a great time. Wish we could have been there. We're excited for your baby boy to join your family. Love you.
I'm so glad that you were relaxed! And I'm impressed that you did a post! Great job!
Tell Tyler that we're so happy for him! I so wish we could have been there!
And I actually think you look very pretty in that photo--not huge. Every time my phone rang today, I kept wondering if it was you announcing my new nephew. Weird, but I'm totally serious.
So glad to hear everything went well. It sounds like it was a wonderful weekend.
How wonderful!
It sounds like a memorable weekend. Wished badly to be able to be there.
Love you and give Tyler a huge hug from us.
After reading how much your siblings wish they could have been with you on this special day, I'm even more grateful that Dad and I were able to be with you. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts to all those who were here.
Tyler, we are so grateful to be your grandparents. You are a very sincere young man and you made the right choice to follow Jesus' example and be baptized. We love you very very much!
