 You get Baird Family Reunion 2014!!  We stayed in a beautiful "cabin" in Provo Canyon and thoroughly enjoyed our first weekend of summer together as a family. Thank you CLAN BAIRD for a great 48 hours together.  I feel so blessed to have the family I do and to live close enough to do things like this.  Here's to many more memories together!!

 

Micah's Baptism

Last month, our youngest son got baptized.  This is such an important event in our lives and it was a lovely morning.  We had almost all of our family and some of our closest friends over for brunch before, then headed to the church.  Phil gave a great talk about Micah's favorite scripture story, Moses and the plagues and the children of Israel.  Phil baptized and confirmed him and Uncle Jeff gave a great talk about the Holy Ghost and the fruit of the spirit.  It was such a personalized baptism for Micah and we sure love this kid!!  Congratulations Micah!

 I asked my friend with three boys that are about 10 years ahead of this if this was the first of the lasts and she confirmed.  I'm not sure how I feel about these growing up, but it is happening without my approval.  It was a great day!
