Miaja's Baptism


Love the picture..of course Miaja's brothers had to make pictures a challenge!

Miaja was baptised on March 12th, 2011 @ 10am.
What a beautiful day! We were so grateful for the support of our family and friends. It couldn't have asked for a more special day for my daughter.
Miaja has been preparing for her baptism since she turned 7. In fact, the morning that she turned 7 yrs. old she said to me, while still in bed, "Mom, I want to read the Book of Mormon this year, all by myself". A few months went by and one night I went in to turn her reading light-off and sure enough, she was reading the Book of Mormon.
Well, she finished the morning of her baptism. I was so amazed by her. She has such a beautiful spirit and I feel so privileged to get to be her mommy.
(Now she's reading the Pearl of Great Price and told me that she hopes to finish by May!)
Being a mom is such an interesting and beautiful experience. Some days I feel like I can barely get one thing through to my kids and I'm just grateful their still alive, then they go and teach me a whole bundle!
Thanks Miaja for making your baptism day such a special day by being such a special girl! I know that Heavenly Father is so proud of you!
You are loved.
