Brilynn's Baptism

Brilynn was so excited to get baptised this year. Our bishop told us that he wished he had a video camer to record her interview. He said it was the funnest interview he had ever had. When she was asked her the prophet was she started hitting her head with her first and saying, "Oh gosh, I know it, I just can't remember his name." She then pointed over to the 3 pictures on the wall of the 1st presidency. She said "I know it's that man right there though and I just saw him at the parade." Bishop then said, "Oh really are you sure it was him" Brilynn quickly responded "Well if it wasn't then somebody sure did have a good mask on!" The bishop continued to tell us a few other things that she had said that made us laugh. We seriously love this girls humor. We were so lucky that most of John's family from NC were able to be here for the baptism as well. She was certain that she didn't want to wear one of the dresses they provide to get baptised in. She wasn't going to take a chance on her dress floating up and everyone seeing her underwear. She is a little modest bug...and we love it. My aunt Linda told Brilynn the story of her baptism. She said she tried to bring her foot up so that she could get baptised twice. Brilynn got this look on her face and said "Really, I want to be baptized 5 times." So needless to say, I about died when I saw her being dunked and her right foot floated to the surface. John was ticked and before dunking her the 2nd time said outloud, "Thanks Linda" Brilynn claims that she wasn't trying to. She said all of a sudden her foot just floated to the top:) I told John not to be upset at her and let her enjoy the fact that she got to be baptized twice.
After the baptism we invited our friends and family to the church for a luncheon. We had 47 people there to celebrate with Brilynn The day was so busy and crazy that I didn't even take pictures of the lunchean. I am really bummed that I forgot to do that. We had really cute taffy kabob center pieces and lots of good food. Thanks everyone that offered and brought food. It really helped alot and was much apprecaited. Hopefully we were able to really make this a day for Brilynn that she will never forget.
