Life From 3 to 4!!!: A Very Special Weekend

This weekend was a very special one for our family.

Caden made the choice and was baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I cannot express the joy this has been for out family. What a great example he is for his siblings and cousins. Friday night as I was laying in bed thinking how there is no way I am old enough to have a child getting baptized I started to reflect on the last few weeks and the days leading up to this big day. I realized that Caden had been really difficult for me. He just would flat out ignore me which is not him. He was more whinny and super emotional!!!

Caden was about to make a huge step in his life. He was declaring who he is and what he wants to stand for. He believes in his Heavenly Father and his Savior Jesus Christ and the advisory does not want that. I could tell that Caden was being tested by the advisory to try and discourage him or distract him on what he was about to do. But he did not win this time. Caden was so excited to be baptized and if ready to be accountable for his choices and actions. He is attended with the Holy Ghost.

When my dad took him to get his first set of scriptures they were on their was home and Caden looked at him with a big smile and said this is really all I need for my birthday.

Caden is a happy child who is very easy to please. He had not missed a night reading his scriptures and is already building up his armor of God!!!

The other exciting thing that happened of we got to bless Kendyl the same day and right after Caden was confirmed. Clay did an amazing job and was in tune with the spirit on what to bless her with. It was so great to have him be worthy to take part in these sacred moments with our kids.

My heart of so full of joy and gratitude for the love and support that family and friends showed for our family and Caden. This was a day with our first baptism and our last blessing. This is one of the moments I am loving going from 3 to 4.
