Jack's Baptism Weekend

This weekend was a total blur. It happened SO fast! We were very BLESSED to have a ton of our families here for Jack's baptism weekend.

I had such high hopes and major plans for this weekend. Lots of food, Easter fun...a relaxing time for me to get a break while the Grandma's held Jack and the cousins played with Layla. WRONG! Jack had the worst day of his life on Saturday. I was so bummed that no one really got to see our happy, giggly and smiley Jack. He refused to eat ALL day...shots? hunger strike since we've been pushing a bottle? Teeth? I don't know but it was terrible. I was so looking forward to a break and all I got was a day full of worrying about what the heck was wrong. I'm still glad help was here or I would have really lost it.

Grammy with grumpy gills:

Her new favorite thing, Mini. She's a little cookie drunk in this picture...I think her mouth was full of cookies!

I swear I silently prayed all day that Jack wasn't getting sick and would be in a better mood for his baptism. He finally gave in and ate around 9 that night and woke up his happy, handsome self! Whew! Here he is with Gma Barton before his big moment:


Thanks for taking GREAT pictures Uncle Eric! 

 About 2 minutes before Pastor Mike started Jack got crabby (figures). But he still did great!


It was a great service and we were so excited to not only have Jack baptized, but also become members of our church.

After the baptism we invited all our Midland friends (our family away from family) over for lunch. I was terrible at getting pictures because I was busy eating or feeding Jack. :( I did snap this one of our adorable little girl:

And there's a great big smile for Uncle Chris, Jack's Godfather. 

Gma and Gpa Barton:

Sweet Aunt Ash!

Photographer of the day, Uncle Eric. Check out Jack's baptism hair!

Gma and Gpa Rosco...as you can see in Jack's face, it was all downhill from there...

Grandma's always have the magic touch. Thank God for Grammy taking over! Gramps- I didn't have a single picture of you and Jack on my camera and I forgot to get mine out when we took a picture of you guys with his blanket. I need a copy off  your camera!! ;o)

Before leaving we tried to get a picture of all the cousins. Layla wasn't feeling it. LOL

Even though my kiddos weren't 100%, we still had a GREAT weekend. I'm so thankful for everyone that came to visit and make this weekend special. And to our church friends/family for welcoming us. We are so very blessed to have each and every one of you in our lives! We love you ALL!!

PS- Next time, we WILL be in better moods!! ;o)
