Program Picture

Here's what I typed for the program for the Stake Baptisms. I really can't believe he's already 8! Where did my baby go? He was our baby for so long! I just love him so much!!! I want to squeeze those cute little cheeks and kiss him but he's getting too big for that I guess. Never too big for hugs though.

"Jarom is full of joy! He finds joy in his family with 4 brothers and 1 sister and is a wonderful help at home. He finds joy in bearing his testimony each month and tells his Mom what to write down so he can remember everything he wants to say. Jarom finds joy in playing outside and he is so excited to finally be in Scouts just like his 3 older brothers. Jarom loves the gospel and is a great example."

What a special day for you my Jarom! Grammy and Grampy came down for Christmas and to be here for your big day. Grandpa Gardner had open heart surgery a few weeks before so Grandma had to stay with him but they sure were sad to miss this big day for you. There were lots of friends and family there for you! I gave the talk on Baptism for the Stake and then Daddy Baptized and Confirmed you. You have such a sweet spirit about you and you just were glowing! We came back to our house for subs and cake and to visit!
