Tyson's Baptism!

Hanging out at the Clubhouse

Tyson's many fans!




It's almost time!





A VERY blurry family picture (sorry!)



Wow! There are some handsome dudes!



Tyson got baptized on Saturday, the last baptism for our family! They are growing up...and I am not sure I like it! It was such a great day and a FUN weekend! Tyson was so excited that he could not wipe the HUGE grin off his face. I think he was actually giggling under the water in the font! We were all just glad he didn't start swimming around! I am so proud of Tyson. This is something that Tyson wanted to do, HE wanted it. He didn't get baptized because Brian or I wanted him to (although we did!)....but because HE wanted to. He didn't stop talking about it for a LONG time! I love this little guy. It was pretty crazy with everyone in town for the occasion, but it was a blast. Only one little drama just as the day was ending...somehow Kylie got locked in the clubhouse which we had rented out for lunch. We all cleaned up, shut the doors and left for home. Kylie had gone back up to go to the bathroom at that same time..and nobody saw her sneak in and shut the door. (I was in the other room cleaning windows when she came up) When we got home, it was about 20 min when we realized she was missing. Brian and I ran back to the clubhouse to find her peering out the window with tears in her eyes. We had already turned the key into the lock box and the doors to the clubhouse lock from the inside too. She was totally trapped. (Can anybody say fire hazard?) After tracking down the office manager...we rescued Kylie unharmed. Whew! Another one of those "mother of the year moments"! Although it should have been "Father of the year" award...because it ended up Kylie told Brian she was going back up and to not leave her! HELLO Brian! His memory finally came back to him about the time we pulled into the clubhouse parking lot to look for her. A little late dear! Other than that it was a perfect weekend! We had family drive so far and make great sacrifices to be with Tyson on his special day. Thank you to all of you who made the effort to come. Tyson was so happy you were there, and we love and appreciate your support! Sorry my pictures aren't great...I think my camera is trying to die on me. For some reasons my cameras' never last very long. Might be the user...just might be.

Congratulations Tyson! We are so proud of you! We sent you a little baptism gift in the mail and it should be there in a few days. Corbin wanted to call and find out how it went, so we will probably call you later this week.

Looks like you guys had a fun Christmas too! I think we are the only people left on this planet that don't have a Wii. That rock band sounds so fun!

What a great weekend. Thanks Tyson for making it fun, and Kylie for making it so memorable! Everything went off without a hitch, almost. Tyson is a great kid, even if I am his Grandma!

Great photos Holly. Tyson looks so happy. Kat did too, I love the twinkle in their eyes. It was a great day and I'm glad it was for you too.

Poor Kylie. Next time she'll remember to talk to you and not him!
