We got up at 5:00 am this morning to be on the road by 5:30! We stopped in West, TX which is about half way between Dallas & Austin. We had to “check” out the “Czech” bakery and get some kolaches.
We got to the church at 9:30, which was perfect timing b/c Lexie & crew got there at the same time. We were able to snap some pics together before other families got there.
The Baptism Boy. We are SO PROUD of you, Andrew!
He looks so handsome in his white jumper suit. I love it how he’s clutching his Book of Mormon in all the pictures.
Since we had about 20 minutes to go before the baptisms started, I went outside w/ Autumn & Jackson so they could run around and burn off some energy. It was a stake level baptism instead of ward level, so there were 7 kids getting baptized, and 5 of them were from Andrew’s ward. Let’s just say it was a LONG program!
We went back to Lexie & Jon’s house and had sandwiches, chips, cookies, red velvet cake, and drinks. The kids had fun playing hoops w/ Papa. I was so tired from being up late & then getting up early & driving, so I took a nap.
Andrew got a new set of quad scriptures for his baptism present, and I thought this picture of him & Grandpa Guymon looking through them together was so precious.
The kids had fun running around the trampoline and trying to stay away from Papa. Looks like Jackson got too close and he got captured. We had a nice and relaxing afternoon just talking, laughing, spending time together, and creating memories.
We finally hit the road b/c we had a 3.5 hour drive ahead of us to get home. I drove the whole way home b/c I had had a nap. We stopped in Hillsboro at McDonald’s to get some dinner and to let Autumn run around a little bit. Mom cracks me up!
This is what the back seat looked like most of the drive home. Everyone got in a little snooze. I’m so thankful that we live close enough to go to important things like Andrew’s baptism. I’m so thankful for my family & for the Gospel.
