We had been preparing for the last year for Chaz to get baptized. When he turned 7 we asked him what he thought about getting baptized when he turned 8 next year. He told us, "No way, I'm not getting baptized." So after attending as many baptisms as we could and having many family nights on getting baptized and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, he knew what it was all about and was so ready to make those covenants with Heavenly Father. It was special to watch a change come over him and then finally say, "I think I want to be baptized." Chaz does things on his own time, sometimes it is so difficult as a his mom to just be the teacher and support. Getting baptized was Chaz's choice and we are so proud of him for deciding to do what we know to be one of the first steps in returning back to our Heavenly Father. Way to go Chaz!!
So the invitations went out {thanks to my sweet friend Abi} ...
We asked our family to be apart of it. I wish I could have recorded the talks and songs, it was so perfect for Chaz! Thank you so much for all of your help making this day so great for Chaz!!
The highlight might have been that his cousin Jace came. The tears that came when Jace got back on the plane for Utah were heart breaking. Chaz loves his cousin Jace! I love watching them grow up, I can just see them going on their missions and college together! Exciting to think about what the future holds for these two!!
So blessed to have the love of tons of friends and family there to share Chaz's special day with us. This was on the sign in table. My friend was sweet enough to make it for Chaz. It was fun to read all the little messages, I think my favorite was from his Primary teacher it said, Stay clam enough to listen to the Spirit. It made me laugh, was a perfect message for Chaz :)
