Carson's Baptism - July 4, 2012
Carson turned 8 on June 7th
8 is a great year for us of the LDS faith
We get to be baptized
I feel a lot of pressure to make it a big deal. I do know that no one expects me to do what everyone else does, or what I think everyone else does...I just feel the pressure to anyway. Fancy invitations, lots of pageantry, photo session, luncheon after, hoping that any of the few people we invite show up and when they don't, trying not to feel bad about it. It's nuts!
When Scott's Dad mentioned to us that we could do it in Moberly while we are there, at first I was leary but then I realized how much pressure that takes off of me. Tons of family will already be there, more were closer to Moberly and would come, and we had already planned to have lunch...just needed to make a bit more. No pressure!
Then Gpa came up with the idea of baptizing Carson in the old city pool! Crazy right? Yes, until you know that Carson's Uncle Matt was baptized in that same pool more than 30 years earlier. No one since, there just hasn't been a need or desire. We decided to go for it!

Uncle Brad conducted and acted as the Presiding Bishopric member
He had just been called to the Bishopric but then found out they
would be moving to Alabama soon.
This was his first and maybe last act as a member of the Bishopric!
