Jacob was baptized September 6, 2017



Jacob "went public" on a Wednesday night at Crew, our church's Wednesday youth group thing.  He was the first person to do it on a Wednesday.  He asked his small group leader, Andros, to baptize him, and it was his first time to baptize anyone.

First, they video Jacob telling what led him to decide he wanted to do this.

Talking to Josh




I think this is actually after, they look wet



Parker telling Jacob and me what to do when we went out


Hallie had told Mav that he was going to a party and Mav could not understand why there wasn't any cake...

 Jacob's second mom, Kristi.  She's Michael's mom (that's Michael's sister Nikki).  We met her when they were in Kindergarten.

 Jacob's friend Hunter.

 Jackson, Alex, Michael, Jacob, Beau, Eli, Hunter, Daniel.  I do not know what they are doing with their hands. I love this group.  It's missing a couple usual suspects (Teagan and Julian).  Alex and Beau literally left football practice early to come. We've known most of this group since Kindergarten. 

 Oh these ladies are my life support group.  Love them.  Kristi, Kim, Sharon, me.  Kim and Sharon pulled their kids (Beau and Alex) from football practice early to come. 



 The Crew page posted like crazy about it
