Sydney was baptized on August 8, 2009 at noon in Chandler, Arizona. We were so excited to have some special visitors come to town for the big event. We had Grandma Liz and Grandpa Jerry, Grandma Dee Dee and Aunt Shannon, and Taylor and Sara Syphus and family (Ethan, Christian, Michael, and Luke). Sydney was very excited about being baptized, when she got out of the font she had a big smile on her face. I asked her how she felt and she said she was really happy. This was Christian's first opportunity to baptize someone. After the baptism and lunch, we went swimming. The kids had a great time together. The adults were really tired from staying up too late and watching movies.
We've had a great weekend and wish we could see our family more often!

What a big day, Sydney! We are so proud of you... We wish we could have been there! But we are counting down the days to our visit in October. Charlotte even remembered your family in her prayer tonight and is always asking, "When do we get to go to Arizona?"
