Nathan's baptism

 Monica, Ava, Tyler and Nathan

(I borrowed this picture from them)

This morning, the fam drove up to Diamond Valley to see my nephew Nathan Murset get baptized! It was really nice and Monica put on a super delicious lunch for everyone afterward.

First order of business (before I even got over to the pavilion) was for Luke and Jack--his partner in grime--to get soaking wet at the drinking fountain. 

He and Jack later found some puddles and mud to roll around in, and also some sticky popsicle juice.

They had a GREAT time, needless to say.

Monica made that gorgeous cake and sculpted the toppers by herself! Isn't she amazing?!

Even the cupcakes and water bottles looked cute. Madelyn is already telling me that I should have done all of this for hers.

 View from where we were sitting...there are a lot of cinder cones and volcanic rocks up there.

Annnd....here's Luke after he smeared himself with mud. Fabulous.

It was a great day--thanks to everyone who came out to support Nathan on his special day!
