Mylea TURNS 8

Mylea's Baptism was a little bit different that the boys. She had helped her dad and Steve Udall gather our Bull loaned to the Udalls back in August. Steve made the mistake of asking her how old she was .........and well he got the whole I'm turning 8 in 2008 Baptism Speech. Steve told her that some of his grandkids had been baptized in his pond. That did it. The next thing I knew, we were planning a "Pond Baptism" The day of the Baptism, it rained all morning, during church, and after, we wondered if the would really happen and then abour 2:00 it stopped, we drove out to the pond, set up the chairs. People started coming and the sun broke through the clouds. It was truly beautiful ! There were mares and colts turned out on a hill close by and calves in the field beside the pond. As the baptism started, the horses came to the edge of the cliff and the calves came to get a drink in the pond. Everything was so clean and pretty from the rain..................what a great memory. Thanks Mylea for trying something so unique!
