Max Gets Baptized!

 
Posted by Picasa


Max had a special day today - he was baptized by his big brother Eric and confirmed a member by his father Darrell. The Bishopric attended and his Primary President, our home teachers, Max's Primary teachers and his Primary helper. He was wonderful! Bryanna led the music, Eric performed a special musical number on the piano and I gave the talk. The Spirit was so strong - I couldn't help but cry. Even my Mom got up and bore her testimony - fantastic considering she isn't a member, but she felt so strongly she just needed to get up and speak from her heart. Our Bishop was also moved to tears when he welcomed Max as the newest member of the Salt River Ward. It was a wonderful experience and Max was so good. He seemed to really understand what was happening and his behavior was amazing. It was a wonderful day and one that we will remember always. I hope that clarity will remain with Max - the veil seemed so thin. Great decision Max! We are so proud of you.

Summer 2009 So Far

 

What a fun summer we have had! Darrell and Eric had their birthday, complete with sundaes! And Max turned 8 on Friday and we took him to Knott's Soak City and Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate. Even Bryanna got into the act at Chuck E. Cheese by riding in on her white horse - that was fun to watch! Eric graduated and formed his fake Christian Rock Band (this picture was just for grins, but when he posted it on Facebook he got lots of reactions - yeesh!) Max has been swimming almost every day in our new pool and we have generally had lots of fun. Bryanna would like to end with Maui as her favorite part of summer. HA! Hope your family has made fun memories too. XOXOXOXO - the Hadders
