Eight is Great!

Last Saturday our little Jaida was baptized. It was her special day! A new dress, new shoes, new scriptures engraved with her own name instead of mom's old ones. :) A very cute scripture case from Grandma and Grandpa Robison, and the Gift of the Holy Ghost. What more could a girl want? Being 8 really is great! She was so excited and happy, and couldn't quit smiling the whole day.

She was baptized by her dad, and confirmed by her Grandpa Robison.

It has been kind of ironic, when we moved into Moroni, we moved into an old friend of mine's ward. We were best friends growing up, and it has been weird to end up here close to her in Moroni of all places. Anyway, she also has a daughter who is a couple months older than Jaida. It just so happened that they were able to get baptized on the same day.

Here is just Courtney and Jaida together. They were in the same class last year, and have become friends. I think it was fun for them to be baptized on the same day too.

Congratulations Jaida! We sure love you!

*As a side note, I do have to say, that yesterday at church the bishopric member who was conducting called Jaida up to the podium to announce her baptism. We were sitting all the way at the back. She did not even hesitate to make the LONG walk up to the front.
It was kind of crazy too, because if the primary is singing, she WILL NOT go up there. Ever since we have moved she is too shy to do anything. Well, not yesterday. I was so proud of her!!!
