My beautiful, sweet little girl got baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Sunday. It was a wonderful program and we couldn't be happier with Natalie's
decision to follow our Savior's example and commandment to be baptised. Natalie looked beautiful in her white jumpsuit and then dress. Uncle Justin conducted, Grandpa Norr said the prayer, Aunt Clairissa spoke, Natalie and her friend Megan sang a beautiful arrangement of "I Am a Child of God" and Eric said the closing prayer. I felt the spirt from the very beginning. Grandma Norr conducted the music and the opening song was "I'm trying to be like Jesus." It was a packed house filled with all of our wonderful friends and even a friend of Natalie's from school. You'd think they were a chior of angels as they sang that sweet song. It seriously sounded sooooo pretty! It was a wonderful day!
We were so happy to have Grandma and Grandpa Norr here for Natalie's special day. We also felt the love of Grandma and Grandpa Cooper. They hated missing it but stayed home as my dad is going through a bone marrow transplant. We were also happy to have my brother Justin and his family here with us. It is fun having cousins and family so close (in the same ward even!).

Aunt Clairissa gave a talk and Uncle Justin conducted. Thanks ya'll!
Natalie and her friend Megan sang "I am a child of God" and it sounded angelic. Megan's mom, Lauralee, conducted and Megan's brother, Michael accompanied. They are an incredibly musically talented family and we love them to pieces!!!!

We had a lot of support from so many friends. The room just kept filling up with so many of the people that we love from our awesome Suwanee Ward family! These are the men who stood in the
circle to confirm Natalie - Craig Pett, Todd Berg, Grandpa Norr, Uncle Justin, Rob, Kyle Wise, Bishop Van Dyke and Buddy Toliver.
I have the best friends in the world! They have served me constantly for the past eight months and, as if they haven't done enough, they called last week to see if they could do anything to help with the baptism. These are two of my special angels and friends, Brittney Cheek and Stacie Toliver, who helped with the refreshment! Cookies and milk, of course! A dairyman's family loves their milk and cookies! Plus, it's easy.... ;)

I love that first picture! She's so stunning! I can't believe our little girls are starting to get baptized! Do you remember when we used to be out together in the hall at church with them?
What a beautiful girl Natalie is! Sounds like a perfect day too. So nice for you to have so much family there. Hope your dad is doing well.
Fabulous pictures, those will be such a treasure as she grows up. The whole experience sounds wonderful, you are so lucky to have the chance to make the kids baptisms so personal.
