Addison's Baptism

Addison was Baptized on Aug. 1, 2015.  She was baptized in Blackfoot with her cousin, Whitley.  Whitley was born on July 28, 2007 and Addison was born on July 30, 2007.  They are the twinner cousins.  The funny thing is Merrick and I were both due two days apart and we both went 5 days over with our pregnancies so Addison and Whitley were still born 2 days apart.  They were probably in heaven scheming it that way. 
Addison was so beautiful in her white baptism dress.  She seemed so happy.  She made the choice to get baptized because she wanted to be a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of  Latter Day Saints.  During her baptism interview with the bishop she said she was ready to make a promise with Jesus to keep the commandments. 
Addison and Whitley's Grandpa Jones gave a talk on Baptism and Aunt Marcie gave a talk on the Holy Ghost.  They both did a great job.  Grandpa Jones talked about Jesus' baptism why it is important to be baptized.  Marcie had little laminated pictures of ways to remember how the Holy Ghost can help us. She gave Addison and Whitely each the pictures along with a few treats to keep, which Addison loved.   
We were all so happy to witness Addison's baptism, except Ty.  Ty was noddy during the whole thing.  He was pretty concerned that his dad and sister were in the water without him.  I think he thought they were going swimming or something.  He kept banging on the white plastic screen that sits in front of the baptismal font and yelling for his dad.  Good thing the plastic screen was there or he would've probably be in the water with them.  Addison didn't seem too phased by his bad behavior so hopefully he didn't ruin the moment.  After the baptisms, we had a luncheon with all our family and friends at Merrick's church building.  It was a beautiful Day.  So proud of our beautiful girl!
Love this Family of mine.
We got a family picture with Marshall's family before the baptism.  My eyes were closed, but it was the only one we took. 
Addison's baptism hair.  We did it up so it wouldn't take her long to get changed after the baptism.  Marshall told me that it was a pet peeve of his when it takes people forever to get changed and ready after the baptism.  Funny thing, Addison changed so fast so Marshall was the one we were waiting for. I had to give Marshall a hard time. 
The girls ready to be baptized
Addison and Whitley had the exact same baptism dress.  It was cute that they looked like twinners. 
This was the program for the baptism
