Not sure that I can even express my feelings about this day. It was one of those days that are so important, so emotional, so full of joy, that words are completely inadequate. My boy got baptized. He was baptized by his father.
He has grown up so much over the last year. He was ready and prepared for this. Gordon has a spiritual side. He has a little boy faith-filled understanding of the Gospel. He often says things that are so tender. He wants and tries to be good. I am so proud of him and feel so honored and blessed to be his mother. He makes me want to do and to be better.
I am grateful for the example Gordon is setting for his younger brother and sisters.
He looks like such a little man in his suit.
Gordon's cousin Tupu (pictured below) got baptized on the same day. She and Gordon were born 10 days apart. There was a big party after her baptism with delicious food and great entertainment. This picture is of Gordon getting ready to do a Samoan dance.
Gordon and Tupu getting ready to perform. They both did a great job. Tupu was so graceful. Just like a Samoan princess.
Here they are on stage.

Congratulations to all of you!!! I wish so bad we could have been there, it sounds like it was a beautiful day. Give Gordon our love!!
Gosh that was a wonderful day! We are so proud of the little man Gordon has become and feel blessed to have him in our lives. BTW, I saw you snapping pix during the kids' dance, would you mind sending those my way when you get a chance, pretty please?
What a Special day for all of you. Such a big step, such an important one. No more little boy, he is on the pathway towards becoming a young man. Great choice, Gordon! Don't ever forget the way you felt that day!
We are so proud of Gordon as well. What a great example for ALL of his siblings and cousins alike. Tayson loves watching family get baptized and can't wait for his turn. We love you Gordon!!!
