I Belong To the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints


Saturday was a really exciting day for our family. Kameron got baptized!! Yay!! Woo-hoo!! He has been waiting for this day for a long time and it finally arrived...on a bitter cold snowy Saturday morning.

Kameron was really nervous about the baptism...but it went really well. Another boy from our ward also got baptized as did a friend of Kameron's...Kathryn...they were in the same class at school last year. So that was fun. Also our old bishop from a previous ward...Bishop Kulisch was there representing the Stake Presidency so it was fun to have him participate. We just love him!!
Reilly and her friend, Ally, sang the musical number "He Sent His Son" they did a great job!! They also sang this in the Primary Program this year and did fantastic. Thanks Ally for helping out!!

Kameron was excited that Aunt Kelley was there to support him.

And...his buddy Tyler. Thanks Hollands!! You guys are wonderful. Tyler got baptized a few months ago and Kameron got to check everything out during Tyler's baptism...it was fun for him to have Tyler there. Also--Kameron requested a sports jacket for his special "baptism" outfit after he saw Tyler is his snazzy one. Aren't these the two cutest boys you have ever seen??? Watch out girls!! These two are going to be little heart breakers.

It was truly a wonderful day to be a parent. We are so proud of Kameron and the wonderful boy that he is...and the great example he is to his sisters...especially Ailey who looks up to him so much. Kameron took his baptism very seriously and learned all that he could about baptism before his big day arrived. Kameron...Dad and I are so pleased that you made the decision to be baptized. We love you very much!!

After the baptism we all went out for brunch and had a wonderful day. Later that night we celebrated with a Baskin-Robbins cake and sparkling grape juice.

We love you Kameron!!

Oh, we wish we were there. It would have been fun with the rowdy McClellans's cheering for you!

Kam--I agree that the sports jacket was a great choice. You are looking so GQ! I love the fact that not only do you look great, but you worked so hard to be prepared and ready for this big day. So many amazing experiences and blessings are going to come to you as you follow through on the commitments you made this day! Congrats, buddy!!

I am loving the cake! How cute!! Did you have that specially ordered? You and Kelly are looking especially "radiant". What a special day!

Na- I ordered the Father's day shirt cake from Baskin-Robbins. The shirt was supposed to be white but oh well...Kameron didn't care. :)

Congratulations Kameron on becoming a member, baptism are so fun to watch when there are lots of little curious kids around. Now Kristen, cute family pics, but are you hiding your cute belly by chance?
