Jabin's Baptism October 9th, 2010

Dinner before heading to the church. Our good friend Jason came over and cooked up the famous Sanpete BBQ Turkey, Grandma Marianne made Jabin's favorite, cheesy potatoes, and Grandma Bonnie made her good rolls. I made a big salad and the Pizzelle's again. We were so happy that our family was able to come and share Jabin's special day. The primary gave Jabin a very cute horse blanket to remind him of the "comforter" or Holy Ghost.

We missed Uncle Judd and Wendy. The round up started on this day and they couldn't make it. We also missed Uncle Jesse and his family. They were really sorry to miss and had a family trip planned earlier in Colorado. The stake asked if he had a musical number we could do and I said we would do it. Dallas was at piano and mentioned it to her teacher so the teacher called me and said that Dallas has a song they would do for a duet. I thought it would be perfect but I knew Haddy would be dissapointed because she wanted to sing I am a Child of God. We comprimised and decided Dallas and her teacher would play, I Feel My Savior's Love, and Haddy would sing it. We really practised and I got nervous as we got nearer to Sat. and Haddy was still not remembering the song. Well, it was time for Jabin and Matt to go over to the church early and I sen the girls to meet their teacher and practise. I didn't go over until it was time to start. When I got there I found out the piano teacher didn't come early. I was in a panic and so was Dallas. I told her she would just have to play it alone and she said it would sound awful. So...on the way up to perform I grabbed a lady from the ward out of the audience to play with her. Oh my! The lady didn't realize it was a duet and Haddy sang way slower then the music and the very last verse....the love he freely gives me....she started to sing I Am a Child of God!! It was a flop. I felt so awful. It would have been better just to have Dallas play or have my mom play with her and I could have explained it was a duet. Oh well!!! The piano teacher called Sunday morning to apologize and say she just forgot......
