It is hard to believe that our baby is 8! Parker has been counting down until his baptism for months now. He was a bit worried of what the temperature of the water would be and for how long he would be under the water. An hour before it was time to go, Parker got his suit on and we presented him with his first real set of scriptures, just as our parents had done for us when we were baptized. When we got to the church, Parker and Justin changed into their white jumpsuits while we waited for our friends and family to arrive. It was such a wonderful experience watching your own child choose to be baptized a member of the Church. When they were changing back into their suits, Parker told Justin, "I feel so clean!" It was a great day!

Parker, we are sooooo proud of you! We love you so much!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo
I can't believe that Parker is 8 and baptized. He looked so handsome in his suit and tie. I remember when he was born. You all are a lovely family and you and Jusint are great parents! Even though Parker doesn't remember us you tell him how proud we are of him!
Holy cow, he can't be eight already! Congrats, Parker!!! I can't believe it's been so long. What a grown up guy he's becoming!
Oh, and way to go on the pinewood derby. That's a sweet ride.
Congratulations Parker!! We are so happy for your baptism!! I hope you felt extra special on your special day!
What a special day! I sure wish we could have been there! We were thinking of him and are so proud of his choice to be baptized!!! We love you PJ!!!
It seems like it was just yesterday that he was climbing through the doggy-door of your townhouse, or busting a move--groovin' in his diaper! Where has the time gone?
What a sweet boy he is--we love him so much! (And of course we love lil' Spency boy too!)
Congratulations Parker. Kelli, when did you go an get a baptised 8 year old? Such sweet and beautiful family pictures and Parker looks good in his suit!!! Little heart breaker.
