Blessing Day

We blessed baby Jeric today. Each time we have done this, it does make me so grateful for my husband and that he honors his priesthood, which then blesses our family in this way.



My mom made the blessing outfit for my first boy, Dalton, and each boy has been blessed in this outfit. If I ever have a girl, she will wear my blessing dress. Anyway, kind of our family tradition. My older sister made the aphgan, and I just love the colors. She did blues and browns that I never would have put together, but it is just so cute to me. I love it.

We had a luncheon after at our house, and boy can brad's family eat! He comes from a large family of course, and I have never really fed them a meal! So, luckily we barely had enough...if his whole family would have made it, we would have run out! We counted a total of 49 people at our house, and we were still missing three of his syblings and 3 of mine. So it was crazy busy and full at our house yesterday, but totally worth it. We also got a call from brad's sister in salt lake...she is officially engaged and will be getting married in June! We are all excited for her and now all 11 kids will be married! So neat to me!

That is so neat. We went to my nephew's baptizm yesterday and there were about 65 people there and only to other of my siblings were there. Families just keep getting better don't they? Can you take Jeric out and about yet?

About the curly vs straight... I voted curly. I think it looks cute.

Hey Jennie- i vote for curly hair (esp if its faster) but if yr husband is like mine, they love the straight. I think it has something to do w/ making it look longer...? anyway, I was told you live in the southern part of the state-just curious where you guys are at. We are looking at settling down south and I was looking for feedback.
Beautiful baby boys, by the way.

Jenni, your little family is so adorable. Your boys are just about the cutest thing I've seen. Thanks for commenting on my blog. I'll add this to my blogs I visit. Take care!

Hey Jennie! Of course I remember you! If you have those websites that would be great, but I'll have to get my email to you later! :) I haven't really done a lot with the digital scrapbooking. My sister teaches classes and she is great! I want to get into it more, but she could give you more info! Why don't you give me your email and then I can give you her information! :) Thanks, Charise
