baptism

Oh Diana, Diana! Diana and her cousin Joshua were baptized on July 3rd (thanks for sharing your b-day Aunt Di) and considering we had 3 sets of grandparents (who all behaved perfectly unlike some other younger members of the family - uh hem, SARAH!!), 13 kids (some who were already really done from church) and aunts and uncles galore (who were also kinda done from church) it was a really, really nice day and I am so pleased that Diana and Josh chose to be baptized and receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost (heaven knows we need it these days).

Diana felt very pretty in her baptism dress and a lovely necklace from Grammy (home run gift).

Josh and Diana were tired of getting their pictures taken.

Grampy, Diana and Grammy (Ryan's parents, who flew up to Idaho for the weekend - bless them - we loved having them and they dealt with the chaos like pros!).

Grandpa, Diana and Grandma. Diana and Grandpa are TIGHT! She will really miss being able to call him on every whim since he is flying to CHINA today!

Ryan and Diana. Fatherhood changed Ryan from the second she was put into his arms and he just gets better and better.

Most of the cousins - can you tell they are pretty close to DONE with their day? Unfortunately, this was before the service - sigh!
