Practice




So Kaity turned 8 years old two months ago and she still hasn't been baptized. She is absolutely terrified to put her head all the way under the water. We tried to get her to practice in the hotel pool over spring break but she shrieked and yelled until I thought for sure we would be thrown out of the pool. Yesterday we went over to a friends house and they let us use their pool for practice. I told Travis that he just had to force her under because the dress I bought her two months ago is getting small and we are not putting this off any longer. Well daddy and grandpa are a bit more patient than I am and so they nicely convinced (bribed her with a treat from 7-11) to give it a try. After the first dunk she was fine and begging to "go again daddy!" What a stubborn little stink she is!

Yay for Katie! What a brave girl! Zach won't go under the water either!

Lily HATES the water, let alone go under. Good job Katie! Isn't it funny that as soon as they try something, they love it. I wish they knew that mommy's really do know best!

I love that picture of Katie. Her face says it all.

Ariann, phew, I'm glad my kid isn't the only one who freaks about the water! Anna screams her head off when we rinse her hair in the tub and a little trickle goes down her face! Yeah, she probably won't be baptized until she's 16!(That is if we let her live that long!) I love the pictures, our girls both have cute little pixie ears!

Her face is priceless! I must add that she didn't scream one time! Maybe it helped that she had an audience. We're missing the after (all smiles) picture. I don't remember Brayden putting his face under. Maybe we'd better get started on that!
