J's Blessing

J was blessed in our ward last week. It was lots of fun to have some of our family come to our house for some grub before going to church.  Uncle Scott and Aunt Sherrie came, as did my cousin Bret and his kids (Parker, Natalie, Jaden, and Zach). My parents and my sister Tarena were here too.  It wasn't very fun for Matthew to see everyone eating though, because he was still fasting!

It was a super busy day, the brunch before church, then church, where I taught during the 2nd hour and played piano for primary. After church was through, we had a break the fast potluck with our ward followed by a fireside! It was after 7pm when we got home, but the kids were still in good spirits despite the 8 hours of church clothes!!!

I'm always so grateful for such a wonderful hubby whenever he blesses our children (not just giving them a name and a blessing either). L has had many, many, many blessings for sicknesses, or surgeries or fear, and it is just to neat to feel the Spirit guiding his words.  J was given some great promises and assurances, and it seems like the babies and children are coming to this earth more prepared to do great things every day!

Anyway, here are a couple pictures of the long, special day.  Matthew refused to be in the photos!
