When I was on my mission my comp and I had the opportunity to teach and watch a 9 yr old get baptized. As I watched her I felt a huge amount and love in my heart and wondered if this is a fraction of what I would feel when my own child was baptized. Let me say watching Braeden was so much more. Now I have a strong testimony of the priesthood and this church and it was amazing to see my wonderful hubby baptize my first born. Braeden is such a tender-hearted kid. He looks after the little and the lonely and tears up when he feels the spirit. (He says he got something in his eye) I am so grateful for this young man. He is smart, kind, fun and loves to laugh. We love having him in our family. I'm grateful for the example he set for his brothers. The day was almost perfect. J.B. says it was bitter sweet. He mentioned as he was in the water he looked up to see his Mom, cuz she would have been so excited to see Braeden get baptized. Even though she wasn't there in person I KNOW she was there in spirit. She watches over us and we do miss her. I love the gospel so much! So did I feel more that wonderful day in May, Heck yes!!!! Its a feeling I'm unable to describe. To see a child choose and yes it is his choice, a path that will bless his life so completely is amazing and I look forward to many more years of the ups and the downs of this very special boy!!!
With his brothers Kyan and Jett.
So happy I married such a good man, and have a great kid!!!!!
Love for you!!!!!

Wow! that is such a neat post. Congrats and thanks for sharing!!!
I just found your blog and I can't believe you have a kid old enough to be baptized! I guess it has been that long since we were in the same ward :)
