Baptism

"I have been waiting a LONG time for this." Sophie told the missionaries at dinner one night. "Like 8 YEARS!!" And so it is that our youngest (sniff) was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Saturday, August 1st. Here she is before she was baptized--all smiles and a bit of nervousness, but not much. A close up of her. She was tired of smiling and ready to socialize with all of her beloved friends and family!

Ahhh, the trio together.

Sophie loves her Dad!

And of course a family shot. Rounding everyone up these days is no easy task....

Here is Sophie with her friends Tori, Cassidy and Kinley. She has watched them all be baptized and now it was her turn.

Sophie is the youngest GIRL cousin on the Murphy side. Here she is surrounded by her older girl cousins that are so sweet to her; Tali, Hannah & Maddie!

Here Sophie is with her friend Justin who loves

to laugh just as much as she does!

And her friend Cameron who ABSOLUTELY loves to have his picture taken!

And here are some of the girl cousins on my side--Erin, Bekah, and Violet!

And here she is with her birthday buddy--Trevor. They share their birthdays and it is a fun little thing they share together!

Here is a shot of Sophie and my parents. It turned out cute! I would've liked to get one with Scott's parents as well!

This is the next day at church. Sophie got to sit up on the stand as they announced her baptism. We also sing to her in Primary. She was so excited about this day! She HAS been waiting a long time. You are everything we could've imagined our daughter to be! We love you and are so proud of you Sophie! We are glad that we could share your special day as you entered the waters of baptism.
