There are no pictures of Wendy in a pretty dress or a white baptismal outfit, but there is a certificate to indicate it happened (typo on Dad's name too!) Here's Mom/Margie's memories written in Wendy's baby book ...
You were baptized on June 5, 1976 (Bicentennial Year). You would have been baptized in May, but we were expecting baby Shane any day (due April 17). We waited a month so that the baby could be blessed on the same Sunday you were confirmed.
So on June 6, you were confirmed and baby Shane was blessed. You bore your testimony during fast meeting. It was the first time any of our children had borne their testimony. We were very proud of you. Both your grandparents came and Aunt Lorrie and Jason and Katie (Uncle Merrill was out of town on business).
After Sacrament meeting, we had a nice family dinner. Saturday, after you were baptized, Dad took you four kids to dinner at Farrells to celebrate and we gave you a book about Joseph Smith.
While not specifically labeled ... this looks like it was the Sunday in question. Shane looks very young, dressed in a white "blessing" type outfit, and as mentioned in Mom's memory, Jason and Katie are there in the picture too.
The next generation repeated this baptism/blessing combo a couple of times. In 2002 Chris's crew combined Kaden's baptism and Camden's blessing, and in 2003, Jen's family had a baptism/blessing with little Landon and baby Cooper.
