Brenden's Baptism!

Here is the invitation I made through my business Heritage Makers. It turned out really nice, I was very happy with it.


Brenden's baptism day turned out really nice. I was really worried about it, but it came together. The Friday before my mom, sister Katie, and Brother Shane and his wife Hailey and son Griffin came and stayed. Which was good, because it decided to snow that night and morning. Because of the weather we didn't get as many people as I thought we were. The people that came were: Papa Beeton, Great Grandma and Grandpa Beeton, NeVille's, Jones, Grandma and Grandpa Johansen, Peter, Joe, Justin and Jessy, Amanda and Joey, his teacher Meghan Burke, Brother Sanders (from bishopric), Sister Snow(primary Pres), Sister Sitterud (primary pres), Esplins, Whites, and if I forgot anyone I am sorry. I just wanted to let those of you that couldn't make it, that we missed you and wished you were here! The program went really well, Jonnie (grandma) gave the holy ghost talk and I gave the baptism one. I now know why moms don't give the talks, I barely made it through it. He was baptized by Merrial and when Brenden came out of the water he was gasping like he had just got into a tub of ice cold water. It was pretty funny, especially since the water was warm. He is kind of a dramatic child. His baptism turned out really good and I am so proud of him and love him so much!
I just wanted to thank everyone that came and for all your help. It was very appreciated! We love you all! This experience has actually made Brenden a more confidant young man, which he really needed. I didn't think it would change him at all, but he is definitely not as shy as he was.
