Baptism day

The pictures are in no particular order. I can't seem to do that very good. April 2, 2011 was the happiest day of Madison's life. She was so excited to be baptized. We had a really great day. We are so thankful for Our family and friends who gave her so much support on this day. We started our day with a little Zumba! Madison has always wanted to go with me to class but I didn't think she could make it through the hour doing it. So We asked Marci if she would do a special baptism zumba for Madison's aunts and girl cousins. It was really fun and Madison did really good. Then we listened to the first session of conference. After the first session we had lunch at our church. We ate J dawgs. It was yummy. Thanks to everyone who brought salads, chips, and desserts. We first ate J dawgs when we were at BYU. They catered a consruction management party one summer. It soon became a favorite of Brett Madi and I. Their hot dog shop sits in a parking lot at BYU and is in a 2 man little shack. Any way my sister's husband works at BYU and eats there allot, so when they served them for My nephews baptism I couldn't resist and do the same. It brought back some fun memories. After lunch we enjoyed the 2nd session of conference. Then we were off to the baptism. Madison was so cute and so excited:) The program went as follows. Grandpa Mangelson said the opening prayer. opening song: When I am Baptized. Talk on Baptism: Grandma Nelson. Then she was baptized. Brett said the water was cold. Madi said it was warm:) Talk on the Holy Ghost: Casey Jones. Then she was confirmed by her dad. It was a great blessing. I am so grateful he holds the priesthood and can do this for our children. All who stood in the Circle. Bishop Lunt, Will Lathem, Mark Jones, Byron Woodland, Casey Jones, Ron Jones, Golden Mangelson, Lamar Howarth, Jeremy Lynn, Lance Greer, Alan Gee, Jeff Andrus, Dan Woodland, and Jon Webster. Every man there held the priesthood and is worthy of it. I don't know if Madi relizes how special that is. The Bishop gave some remarks, and all of the kids sang I have faith for the closing song. Closing prayer: Shannon Greer. We had a really special day. I have no doubt that Madison knows exactly what she did that day. She was prepared because of her awesome family, primary teachers, and friends. Mrs. Webster gave her a journal to write down her feelings of that day. Also we had everyone write their testimony for her to put in a scrapbook. I know she will remember this day. Madison is such a good Girl. We are so proud of her. I am so grateful for her sweet example to all of us. I am looking forward to all of the great things in her life. I just wish time would slow down a little bit:)
