Samuel's Baptism

Samuel turned eight on October 13th and was able to be baptized that day.  He was so excited to be baptized.  It was a very busy day filled with lots of family.  We were sitting in the church and I realized that Scott hadn't practiced with Sam like he had done with the others.  This was a bit of mistake since Sam is still a little afraid of the water and not a fish like his older siblings.  He was excited enough to not think about being afraid of the water, thank goodness.  He did kick his little feet right up out of the water and had to break his dad's perfect record and needed to be baptized again.  The second time his dad was sure to get him all the way under, barely.  He is such a sweet boy!  We love him and are so grateful that we got to have him in our family!  Here are some pictures of his special day.











Along with turning 8 Sam got to start Cub Scouts.  He was so excited to get a scout shirt and get to be in scouts like his brother.  He got his Bobcat at his first pack meeting and was the cutest scout ever!!








We are all so proud of Sam and wish him many great years in the scouting program!!
