I am so grateful....


What an amazing day. My little man Mason was blessed today. I am overwhelmed with gratidude for all I have been given in my life. I am incredibly thankful that I have a husband that is worthy to give my children their blessings.
As I sat in church today, literally surrounded by family, my eyes filled up with tears. As Drew got up and scooped up Mason, I looked over to see my two brothers walking up with him. My two brothers who I only get to see once a year, came to my son's blessing. I feel so lucky that they, and their wives and family, cared enough to make that a priority. I couldn't believe today EVERYONE I cared and loved were in that chapel. All of Drews family (minus David) where there and all of mine. What an amazing feeling to have everyone you love that much around you. I knew my Dad was there in spirit, I felt it.
Here are some great pictures of that day. This day kicks off what is for sure going to be an amazing Thanksgiving week. How much I have to be thankful for.....


Here is my little man in his blessing outfit. My mom bought him this, it was so cute, and this is the best pic I got of it:(. It had a little vest and tie. So cute:)


These are all the men (minus Jay:( who we love and wish was in the picture, and our dear friend Kevin) who were in the blessing circle. I look at this picture and am so amazed, proud and thankful to have them in my life. How handsome are they!?

Our little man:) How we love you. Drew gave the most amazing blessing. The spirit was no doubt a part of everything he said. I love you both so much!

It was a great day. Drew did an awesome job and Mason looked so cute. It is amazing how animated he is now- such a cutie. Gavin told me that Miami looked really cute, that she looked like Makenzie with her hair in piggies. Buggy had a great time with her. Sorry we couldn't stay, but it was a great day.

that's a good looking family right there. I'm so glad you have a good man that has been supportive, helpful, hardworking, kind, and above all else carries the priesthood worthily and blesses you and your children. Life is good isn't it? :)

after that comment my verification word is "slymo" go figure. ;/

so cute. I love your dress by the way. and I am always touched by the circle of priesthood holders worthy to bless families, sick and especially babies. I'm so happy to see Drew live up to all that is required of him as a husband, father, and priesthood holder. :)
