Vanessa's Blessing

We blessed Vanessa Joy on January 6, 2013. We blessed Sam on Aaron's birthday last year, so we thought it would be cool to have Vanessa's on my birthday, but mine wasn't a Sunday this year, so the 6th was the closest. Also, we wanted to have her blessing before Uncle Rew leaves for his mission. It was so cool having him stand in the circle.  

Aaron did a great job and her blessing was beautiful!

Vanessa's dress was made by Emily Costner, out of vintage lace. 

Can't forget this cute kid!!!

I put all of these family photos in to show how funny Sam is! He is a character!

Our Special Day

Yesterday, April 1, 2012, was a very special day for us. We blessed Sam at my Mom's house. We were surrounded by both of our families. Aaron administered the blessing and did a beautiful job. And Sam was prefect through the whole thing. (It was also Aaron's birthday, what a great birthday present!)

Sam was great though the blessing but started getting cranky afterward. He was calm if I held him and my cousin Ruth massaged his feet!

Proud Parents!!!!!

We feel so blessed to have this spirit in our home. He is more than we could have asked for and fall more and more in love with him everyday!

 I am one proud Mamma and Wife! I sure love my little family and I'm so grateful to have them in my life. I am also so very grateful for my family and Aaron's family. We are very blessed!
