Since we moved and haven't seen much of her lately, I bent the rules a bit and let Dagyn have a sleepover with Morgan. It went quite well. We had some deep discussions on the Gospel about The Creation and [of course] Baptism. The girls made BFF friendship bracelets with one of the gifts Dagyn received from her Nama, who also came to her Baptism.
We also had a wonderful visit afterwards with my Aunt Janett & Timmy who we wrangled into taking Dylan home for us since we took on the extra passenger for the sleepover ;) and didn't have room for all of us.
....yes, I know what you are thinking...
...YOU NEED a 12 Passenger Van!...
...believe me, we are aware of it and looking!...
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Devyn was such the warrior brother, standing up with Dagyn at her side as she sang a song from the pulpit ...I Feel My Savior's Love.
Here is Paul Cardall's version...it's beautiful....almost as beautiful as when Dagyn sang it. I only wish there was a way I could have recorded her. But since we do not allow any recordings or photography within the Chapel, you get to enjoy this version as a sweet substitute...
Dagyn & Chris quickly suited up & jumped into their white jumpsuits. I had only a brief moment to capture them both right outside the Primary Room so the picture isn't of the best quality there is...sorta looks like a camera phone picture. Oh well, they are both just such beams of light and I couldn't go without sharing this special moment between them. She is truly Daddy's little girl!
She also made reference to our Baptismal Covenant by being members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, stating: Those who are baptized enter into a covenant with God to take upon themselves the name of Jesus Christ, keep His commandments, and serve Him to the end and that as church members we renew this covenant each time they partake of the sacrament (see Mosiah 18:8–10; D&C 20:37; D&C 20:77, 79).
We've covered the beauty of the story...now the comedy...
These are the Many Faces of Daxyn that I captured one evening at dinner...no, I don't usually eat dinner with my camera in my hand. But, I did risk breaking the cardinal rule that there are no toys at the table for these wonderful shots just for you...Enjoy!
Happy Birthday Dyxon!!! Your family loves you so much and we are so grateful for having you in our lives....you remind us to bring the song out in all of us!!!! Keep singing sweetheart!
He is a little tired in these pictures...since we did take them right after he woke up and got dressed. He was much more interested in the "surprise" in the front room rather than waking up and having breakfast!
Here is a video clip of Dyxon riding his bike...
and yes folks....that's a 16"-er!
I just {LOVE} the little grunt he lets out when he first takes off!
See...just like I said,
The Happiest Boy in our Community!
