The week after his birthday, Bubba was sustained in Sacrament meeting and Grandpa Baer ordained him during Deacon's Quorum. It was definitely a very special day for me and our family. Can't really find the perfect words to explain all of the emotions.
During Sacrament meeting, the Bishop called him up to the stand to give him his certificate of advancement from primary. I had tears in my eyes as Bishop Bell put his arms around Bubba's shoulders and spoke about him. Luke looks over at me and just smiles.
During Deacon's Quorum I am sitting next to Tubbs and Luke. My mom is across the room and as my dad lays his hands on Bubba's head, to begins his blessing, I think the tears are going to start flowing AGAIN.... but they don't. A very peaceful feeling came over me and there were no tears. (Didn't know I was such a crier) :)
I am so proud of the young man Bubba is and for his decision to become a Deacon. The following Sunday Bubba passed the Sacrament bread and water during the Sacrament portion of church. He was nervous when he sat down with the other Young Men and his buddies were explaining what he needed to do. Luke and I watched him intently after the Sacrament prayer was said, as he passed the bread on the other side of the aisle. A few moments later as Bubba was closer to us, he turned and whispered, "This is easy." Oh Bubba.
We did manage to squeeze in a few photos before church. We were mellow yellow today!
Sunday morning breakfast meant Wiggy had a new victim...I mean opponent, for the game "Headbands." Grandpa like Wiggy's version of clue-giving. :)
I had to take a picture of this one..."I am Money!"
Saying goodbye after church.
A quick trip down for Grandma and Grandpa. We are so happy they came!
