Brielle's Baptism

What a wonderful day...March 5th, 2011, in Lehi, Utah...Brielle's baptism. It was a perfect occasion. The speakers were great and the moment with Baron and Brie in the font was very special. Brie's gasp of air and big smile won't be forgotten. It was good to sit around the high council table writing down our testimonies, singing hymns and waiting for Brie and Donette to arrive. Baron's confimation prayer was so heartfelt and the spirit was certainly there with us. It's hard to believe our oldest grandchild is already eight. Brie, you looked beautiful in your white dress.

Afterwards, we had a wonderful brunch at Donnell Taggart's lovely home...a tasty egg casserole made by Annette, grapes and strawberries, muffins, sweet breads and bagels, snickerdoodles, nuts, orange juice, etc. There was a pretty good group of friends and family to help celebrate. Colby is looking spiffy in his shirt, tie and vest. Baron cleans up pretty good, too.

A happy Barker Bunch.

All smiles.

Donette, Baron, Brie and Colby...what a handsome, happy family.


Here are the photos that Autumn took of Brielle the week before. What a wonderful arrangement of creative poses! Dad caught Baron and Grandma in the mirror's reflection.

Closer view. Thanks Autumn.

Guess it won't be the Lehi Barkers for much longer...it will be the Eagle Mountain Barkers! This is their new home that they should be able to close on and move into in about 6 or 7 weeks. Dad and I think it's great. We got to look in the windows and walk all around it. The location is so close to the church and a nice, big park...about a block away. We hope it will be a nice neighborhood to live in.

Thanks for taking us out to see your new home-to-be, Baron. We're glad everything has worked out so well. Love the address...7666 Snowy Owl Road.

I guess a blog wouldn't be complete without a bird photo. Took this one, probably a redtailed hawk, on the road out of Saratoga Springs.
