Baby Jake's Blessing Day

Our little tiny man is already two months old. We blessed him yesterday because it was the day we could gather the most loved ones around us. We so appreciate everyone who came to support us and show love for Baby Jake.

My mom took pictures while I dressed him to document how yummy he is. 




I tried to get a good picture of the dude in his blessing outfit, but his arms were flapping like a bird. Babies all dressed in white are sure sweet.

We snapped a family picture before we headed to church. Mike gave Jacob a beautiful, thoughtful, powerful blessing and I was touched by how he exercises his priesthood worthily to bless our family. It was a moment of great joy in my posterity.

As I mentioned we had so many loved ones around us. Mike's dad and his wife Patti were staying with us because they were moving their storage unit from Provo to Georgia. Nick's brother David and his wife Julie were here to see them, and stayed for the blessing. We also had Mike's siblings who live in Utah, my parents and sisters Dana and Emily, my Grandma Jean, and my cousin Rachel.... and all of their kids! 
                                                                                               
Grandma Patti helped a lot in the kitchen, bless her!

Rebecca loves getting my kids to warm up to her.

Grandma Marcia held the little man.

Tyler took a close-up of me, so I took a close-up of him.


Since we didn't take a big group shot, I thought I would take candid shots to remember who came.


Auntie Em and Uncle Ren are so good at entertaining the little people. Nobody can get them smiling and laughing like they can.




We really enjoyed time with Grandpas. On that note, Happy Birthday to my Dad today!!!!!
