Kaylen's Baptism- July 26, 2009

CLEARLY, I have to figure out how to get on to update this more often! It's been so long! Kaylen has grown so much already! I had to save a newborn size diaper! I want to hold on to all her 'tiny-ness' while welcoming the fun new changes! We can tell that she's thinking about starting to smile, but hasn't really gotten there yet. She's having quite the time on her new play mat and LOVES to be outside! She loves the trees, walks and any time you can give her in the great outdoors!

We had Kaylen Baptized on Sunday, July 26th at our church. My parents flew in from Minnesota (my brother wasn't able to make it due to his work not giving him the day off and my sister was working), Gregg's family all came from Wyoming and his cousin, Andrew flew for just a few hours as that's all he had off of his Air Force training! We were VERY blessed to have all the family and friends at our baby's big event! Below is a picture of Pastor John and Kaylen as she is being Baptized.
We chose Gregg's cousin, Andrew, to be Kaylen's godfather and Leslie, Gregg's sister, to be Kaylen's godmother. We have all the faith and confidence in them to be positive influences over Kaylen's life and to do what's in her best interest should something happen to us. We are grateful to have them accept such a responsibility.

Kaylen got spoiled with all the family around, especially by her grandparents! They were so helpful this weekend, it was wonderful to have them here!

Kaylen wore the same Baptism dress that I wore for my Baptism! It fit her wonderfully and it was so nice to have something sentimental as part of the ceremony. It was such a gift that my mom held onto the dress all these years, it made of a wonderful memory!

We had a yummy bbq in the park after the service! Thanks to ALL our family and friends for helping out, bringing food and just being part of our wonderful day! We are grateful Kaylen was so loved on her big day!
