Twins Baptism

It was a wonderful (quick) weekend in Utah for the Ryan and Tyler's Baptism. We stayed in Park City and our good friends the Ewell's were even able to come stay a night which was a bonus. Our sweet twin boys met their new best buddy, The Holy Ghost. Their baptism went really well, they could not have possibly have been more cute. They were so excited for themselves and for each other. I have never scene any kid, let alone 2 kids, be so enthusiastic and animated about their happiness in receiving such an awesome gift. They were both beaming from head to toe.
The boys chose who baptized and confirmed them. Ben baptized Ryan and Scott, Tyler and the roles reversed for the confirmations. The boys actually got baptized in the same font Ben was baptized in so that was really cool for him.I think Ryan had a smile on his face before he even came up from the water. Once he was up he embraced Ben with the biggest hug and wouldn't let go, Ben finally had to pat him on the back as if to say "OK, that's good.... lets get out of the font". When Tyler was baptized I think he was a little more embarrassed that everyone was watching him so he hurried right out of the water, plus I am sure he was uncomfortable about his hair being flat and wet.... he doesn't like that. After words, both boys couldn't stop saying "can you believe I just got baptized" and immediately following Ryan's confirmation, Tyler looks at me with eyes as big as fists and says " Mom! I can't believe Ryan just got the Holy Ghost!!!". It was so sweet and tender. We are so proud of the boys and all they have done to prepare their minds and hearts for this special day.

The night of their baptism... they were still glowing!
