Brant's Special Baptism Day....

My precious little bundle of joy, Brant, was baptized on Sunday, July 24th...and it was such a sweet day. We had our family and friends there with us in Fort Worth, and he did amazing. :) The pastor that we asked to baptize Brant is someone that I have known since I was in my early college years (as he was a youth minister at the church at that time). He did a wonderful job on the service and I was so pleased with how it all turned out. What a blessing to baptize your babies in a special ceremony like that. We are so thankful for these boys that God has entrusted us with to raise and grow up to know Him.

Sweet Brant in his baptismal gown.:) This is one that has been in my family for ages. It is special for all of the family members to have been baptized in it, and now get to have my own children do the same.
Does he not look so sweet here? Melts my heart. :) Our family with my parents. :) Our family with my brother Cory, sister in law Jen....and their sweet kiddos (our godchildren), Lainey and Graeme. Our family with Chris's mom, stepfather, and dad... Our family with Chris's sister Katie, our brother in law Jay, and our goddaughter Riley. They are expecting a new baby boy in the beginning of November. Exciting! :)
Hanging out with Brant's godparents-Jay, Katie, and one of Chris's closest friends-Drew. :) One of my close friends, M0nica, is also his godmother, and she was there in spirit. She was unable to make it to the baptism as her father sadly passed away the week before. We love you Monica and we are praying for you and your family during this time!
Hanging out with Drew.... :)
Pastor Pete who did an incredible job with the ceremony. :)
Braden was very happy that his little bro got baptized!! :) We also took some pics of Brant in the baptismal gown on Chris's side of the family. It has been around for about 100 years and it is just so neat for the boys to be able to take pics in it as well. My sweet little man...love him! :) The Bugbee men.....
After the ceremony at the church, Cory and Jen graciously opened up their home for a lunch for Brant. Thank you guys so much! It was beautiful! :) Jen did such an incredible job with the decorations as always. Sweet....Jen even made the cupcakes, toppers, and cookies!! She is so incredibly talented! :) Just chillin out..... Drew and Chris and some BBQ. I love my Baptism day!! :) Lunchtime at the little kids table....Miss Lainey.... The Spencers giving me some smiles...... Jen and baby G..... Cooking in the kitchen in Lainey's room....
Sweet girl.... Gotta do a group hug......Graeme is such a good stander. :) Lots of smiling from the moms...... Dad and Mr. B....Opening presents, and Braden and Lainey are the big helpers. So many nice things!! Love this precious monogrammed onesie... On the back is a little acorn that goes along with our saying that we have had for Brant all along..."From tiny acorns, mighty oak trees grow". :)And an awesome handmade framed picture that illustrates it too! It was a wonderful day with a lot of memories for our sweet boy Brant. We love him so much! :)
