Newest Church Member In Our Family!!!!

Nate decided to enter the water of baptism and we were all excited for him. Before the service, we had to take photos of Blake and Nate in front of the font. Originally we wanted to do it in Hawaii and have the baptism in the ocean but the Church doesn't allow that anymore, so if I couldn't have the ocean, then I wanted a photo of the font. 
 
And a course we had to take some photos of the family and the kids...Both of his grandparents flew in to share this wonderful experience with us.
 
  
  
 
 
It was a sweet service that the Stake provided and they also asked Nathan what musical number he wanted. He chose the "The Rainbow Song" that his Brother and Sister participate in. Here is the group practicing before the service and Nana helped by playing the piano.
 
We were truly grateful for family and friends who came and participate in this wonderful time in our lives.
 
We had to finish with giving of the leis we made. We are so proud of his decision and when life throw you a curve ball, continue the straight path. (side note: Blake came down with strep on Tuesday and Mya on that Saturday...it definitely wasn't on the plans but the day was still wonderful!)
