Stanley's baby blessing

Stanley's baby blessing was a beautiful and memorable day for us. It was so great to have both sets of Nate's grandparents visiting from Southern Utah and Arizona. I also had family drive one or two hours, with large families - having to make other arrangements for their Church callings. We were amazed by the love and sacrifice they showed by coming! We are so blessed to have such a family!
Nate blessed him with the gift of Charity. Wow. It was such a beautiful blessing. I was trying not to cry so that I could write down the words. Fortunately my Aunt Elaine wrote it all down in shorthand, so we have almost the entire blessing. So sweet! It is amazing to get a glimpse into the life of that little baby! I feel so fortunate to be his Mom. He and Mason both. I will try to keep reminding myself of that as they get through the two year old stage :). I need to keep that eternal perspective on who they really are...amazing souls with great gifts and capacity.




Nate's family - including both sets of grandparents. LOVE all of them!!

Lucky for us, Nate's Mom saw that Mason was smiling, and told Nate to jump in for a family photo op. I love this one!


loving on Stanley. Mason really is a sweet brother!

sweet Daddy!

This is a cake my sister Shirley made for a going away party she threw for us. Gosh - that girl never ceases to amaze me!
