Rylee's Baptism

Since Summer and Jamie have been in their current house, Summer got re-acquainted with some old friends from high school. They had lots in common. The whole ward area here is pretty out going and soon Rylee was taking the lessons from the Sister Missionaries assigned to this ward. She decided she wanted to be baptized, so the date was set. Granny is usually good for a white dress when the girls want one, so off I went shopping for just the right fabric. I found everything I needed for Rylee's pretty dress and set about making it. It took me longer than I thought (as most things do these days), so we ended up borrowing back the actual outfit to be baptized in from Faith. It was nice that it could be worn again, and Rylee looked really cute in it. We decided to put a few yoyos on her dress, so she made them and I sewed them on. It all turned out very nice. It was a wonderful baptism. Rylee asked Megan and Stacie to speak on baptism, Summer's friend Stephanie spoke about the Holy Ghost and Grumpy and Tawna sang a special song. The Sister Missionaries spoke and there was quite a roomful of people.

Grumpy did the baptism and there were lots of uncles, and grandpas to assist in her confirmation. Everyone went to Sweet Tomatoes for a lunch afterwards and that was quite the experience. The little kids love to go there because they can choose all their favorite stuff. Of course they all love the soft serve ice cream.

It was a beautiful day for a beautiful girl. I love you Rylee.
