Blake's Baptism

We are so proud of Blake and the decision he has made to be baptized. He was very excited to get baptized and has been preparing himself all year. I was very proud and surprised how much he really understands about our Heavenly Father and his plan for us. Blake said he believes the stories of Jesus and wanted to be baptized just like he was. We love Blake very much and are happy that he is a part of our eternal family.
Blake was baptized and confirmed by his Dad. Todd is a great example to us and Blake really looks up to his Daddy. What a cute couple of boys!

Our attempt at a family picture. Oh well.

Blake with Gramps and Grandma Di. Grandma Di gave a great talk on the Holy Ghost for Blake. We really appreciate all that she and Gramps do for us.

Grandma Newbold and Grandpa Newbold came all the way from Utah. Grandpa Newbold gave a talk on Baptism. We are so lucky to have them both.

Grandpa Ryan also came up to be with Blake on his baptism. It meant a lot to Blake to have him there. Grandpa Ryan is always fun to play with.

Blake also had all of his cousins on the Ryan side there from San Diego and Sara and Charlene came all the way from Utah to see him get baptized. Adrianna, Kyla, Sara, Hailey and Jocelynn all sang a song for Blake.

Here is a picture of all of our family. All the Ryan's were there. Grandma and Grandpa Newbold, Aunt Holly, Uncle Kerry, Aunt Robyn, Charlene and Sara all came all the way from Utah to be with Blake. Blake is one lucky guy! We definitly had a full house afterwards. We went back for to our house for dinner and let the cousins play.
