Jesse's baptism and Lincoln's blessing

We had a double event the other night.  Jesse was baptized and Lincoln got blessed.  We originally thought that stake baptisms would be on the 5th, so when we found out that Lincoln was due that day we told Jesse he was probably going to have to wait until July to get baptized.  He was ok with it but really didn't want to wait.  When we found out it was on the 12th we told him maybe...we'll wait and see when the baby comes.  SO, since Lincoln was 3 weeks old and in Josh's words...he was going to be there anyway, we decided to do his blessing at the same time.  I am so glad we did!  It was fun for Jesse to have Lincoln blessed the same time and it was great to have all the family and friends there, just us, and for everyone to not have to make more than one trip.  I would definitely do it that way again.  Afterwards we had some yummy treats at our house and visited.  Thanks to everyone who came, especially those who drove, we love you!    You get lots of pictures because someday this post will be in a book and so I have to include them all!


I thought this picture was so cute!  Jerry loves Tracen and Tracen loves Jerry...and Tracen is driving a car on Jerry's head!
Jesse, bless his heart, kept running off and changing out of his suit.  We had to make him go put it back on twice for some pictures.  He was not impressed, just wanted to open his presents and play.  He has on a red striped shirt under his church shirt.  As you notice Ty isn't in any pictures...he'd already escaped to the wash.
Tracen was jealous of all the gifts so we let him open Lincoln's.  We figure he wouldn't mind!
