Jack's Baby Blessing

We headed to Utah for Heber and Jenna's wedding. Having all the family around was the best time for Jack's baby blessing. It was a perfect day and we were able to bless him at the Garden Park Ward where I went to church growing up.

Chase gave Jack a wonderful blessing and even though they forgot to give him a microphone, I heard most of what he said. One thing that stood out to me was that Jack would be blessed to have good friends and to also be a good friend. Chase also blessed him with a sense of humor and that he would be a happy individual. I can already tell that he'll be happy. This baby smiles ALL the time!!

While taking some pictures by the pond Sadie ran into a familiar face. Lizzy Gardner walked through the back gate and Sadie immediately ran to her. They hugged each other so tight. It was so sweet but it made Jess and me so sad that these two best friends now live so far apart (forget Sadie..I miss my best friend too!!) If only we could get the Gardners to move back to Virginia. So many of our friends were able to come and join in the prayer circle. We feel so fortunate to receive so much love and support from so many dear friends and family members. Thank you to all who came and participated.

We had a fun little brunch afterwards at my parent's home. Thanks to Mimi, Connie and my sisters the food was fantastic. Thanks again ladies!!

Of course, the man of the hour fell fast asleep.
Sadie, on the other hand was wired from all the cookies and cupcakes she ate. Actually, lets restate that, all the "frosting" she ate. She couldn't care less about the actual cupcake. Once devoured, Sadie resembled a little Nazi.
