Evelyn's Baptism Day
It's hard to believe that 8 years ago Ben and I were talking about this day and here it is, in a blink of an eye it seems. Evelyn is such a wonderful girl. She had to spend her first 10 days of life in the Special Care Nursery. I think it's because she is so special. She has an amazing spirit. Her example of choosing the right always humbles me, she has great faith and courage. She knows who she is and is not afraid to be so. She stands out where ever she is, not just because she is tall, but because she is so kindhearted, always willing to help, and always showing her care and concern for others. She shines with goodness and is a girl who can be trusted. Her confirmation blessing said she had a strong mind and a soft heart. That is so very true of vivacious Evelyn. Here are a few pictures of Evelyn's special day.
My wonderful little (but not too far off from being as tall as me!) friend and daughter
I love this picture for 4 reasons. 1. William's face 2. We are all together at Evelyn's baptism
3. Um...Henry? You there? 4. How sweet Hannah is being to her invisible brother

A sweet daddy-daughter duo if I've ever seen one!
We are grateful to our ward family members who were able to make it to the baptism.
Our little monkeys. Every Sunday these 2 are in the trees!
Ben's mom and dad came from Arizona to be here for the baptism. It was so wonderful to have their support and help (don't worry mom and dad Woodley, we feel your love too!). They helped make the day even more special. Thank you for coming to Texas!
A very blessed girl to have such wonderful grandparents (both Woodley and Wyeth!)
It was interesting to think of how different this picture will look when it is Henry getting baptized!
So proud of our sweet Evelyn Joy
Gotta sneak a smooch when you can! Sorry Ev!

A wonderful day Evelyn! Thank you for your example in following the Savior. You have always wanted to choose the right and we are so proud of you and humbled to get to be the mom and dad of such an incredible girl! We love you!

What an awesome post! Thanks for sharing!
I have been swamped and out of the blog loop--but wanted to say CONGRATS to Evelyn! I am sure she and Jenna will have many wonderful baptism conversations-- :) She is absolutely radiant and such a wonderful example!
That is a STELLAR family pic--and I'd say if Henry's cute face showed, it would even be Christmas card worthy! ;)
Just love your sweet fam!
p.s. cannot believe it's next week when I am coming your way! AHHH! Will call you today to discuss plans...deal?
