We had Bryson baptized on October 20, 2019 in front of our church's congregation. We were so blessed to have friends and family there to celebrate him being baptized into a life of Christ. We chose Ty's brother and sister-in-law to be his godparents, to support us in raising him in a Christian household, and to hold the values of Jesus. It was such a special day. During the ceremony, I was surprised to find that I wasn't crying, because I bawled like a baby during my own baptism about 11 years ago. (Fun fact: I freaked out a tiny bit when I was being baptized because I thought I was tainting the Holy Water with my tears and snot!) Instead, I just experienced incredible joy for my son, and I think Ty would say the same thing.
This same pastor also baptized me when I was 21!
Bryson loves water and did a great job. He didn't make any noise until the pastor handed him back to me...then he made a couple angry noises, but nothing too bad!
Bryson's godparents: Jason and Tara

Ty and I have a big job ahead of us. Not only to we have to raise and protect our son, but we've accepted the task of raising him to be a godly man who loves Jesus with his whole heart. It won't always be easy, but with the help of his godparents, our family, friends, and of course our Heavenly Father, I know we will do our very best.
