Kaylee's Baptism

On Saturday, May 5th at 9:00 AM Kaylee was baptized and Confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by her amazing dad. I feel so blessed to have such a sweet girl in our house and that the Lord has trusted us with raising her. We love her to pieces!! Her dad did a great job and gave her a really nice blessing. She had her Grandpa Smith and her Uncle Kole as witnesses. Her Grandma Snyder and Aunt Melanie were nice enough to play the piano and Aunt Krista led the music. Grandma Smith gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and Grandma Snyder gave a talk on Baptism which were both fantastic. The font was taking unusually long to fill up so we stalled as long as we could and it still needed a little time so her Grandpa Smith took a few minutes to talk to us which was awesome too. My dads brother, Uncle Carey is in our bishopric so he requested to conduct for the day. Her cousins made it from Idaho which she was so glad to see. And most her Aunts and Uncles and cousins and both of her great grandmas made it- Great Grandma Smith and Great Grandma Gibbs which was really special to her. It was a great day and very special to our family. After the baptism we had some food at the pavilion at the stake center, but the weather was pretty chilli so we didn't hang out for very long, but it was great to be with friends and family for the little length of time we could stand the cold weather.  Thank you to all who helped and supported us for her special day! 
We love you!!

My mom got Kaylee some nice new scriptures with her name on them.  She has loved the middle name Rae, and started writing in on every thing - her school work and everything. So as a surprise I made it official and changed her name legally on her birth certificate as Kaylee Rae Snyder. I had it written on her scriptures to tell her and she was so excited!
Thanks for the scriptures grandma and grandpa, we love you!
Kaylee Rae Snyder, its official!!
Seriously, Thanks to all who came and supported her in this big step! We love you! I feel bad I didnt get more pictures of all who came. It was so cold we were just trying to hurry. :)   We are so blessed to have the best family in the world and great friends. I couldn't choose better friends for my kids and Are so proud of the good kids that they are (most the time  :)
Thank you all!!!
