A special day

On July 9th it was a special day for one of the Thompson families. Both Kloe and Rhyle were baptized by there Grandpa. My dad. I am so grateful that I was able to be there to witness a special moment. It was so neat just to have the two baptisms but it made it even more special that my dad was the one who got to do it. It was his first time doing it in the past 26 years. Also the night before he gave me his first fathers blessing. That was very special. I have never been given a fathers blessing before and I always wanted one. I remember in school when it was the first day I would have friends talk about how their fathers gave them a blessing the night before and I was always so jealous of them. I always wanted one. Well I am now happy to say that I have had one. It was beautiful. It made for the next day with the baptisms that more special for me. It was neat because before they were baptised we had them take pictures. There were many tears shared. It was so fun to see them all dressed in white. Here are the pictures.

Kloe and Rhyle
My Dad was very emotional it was a tender moment.
With the missionaries that blessed their lives
with mom and dad
and everyone.
One funny thing that happened when Rhyle was walking in to the baptismal font he was walking down the stairs and slipped down them. haha it was too funny. My dad was holding on to him so he didn't go all the way under but he was close. Just leave it to Rhyle to make us all laugh. It will be a cute little memory he can tell his kids:). It was a beautiful baptism. You could really feel the spirit and the love and happiness that Heavenly Father has for their family. So many blessing coming to our family. Congratulation Kloe and Rhyle. Love you!

Also just last night Kaydi was baptized by her Grandpa Butler and my Dad did the confirmation. It was another beautiful blessing. Kaydi looked so pretty. Also her sister Graycee gave a wonderful talk. I was so proud of her. She did a wonderful job. It was a great night. We also all went out to dinner. It was great to have everyone together. I just love my family so much! Here is a picture of Kaydi and my parents before she was baptized. Congratulations Kaydi we love you!
