Blessing

On June 3rd Zack was able to give Peyton a blessing.  It was a beautiful, simple blessing.  The parts that stuck out to me were that she would always know that her family loves her and that her Heavenly Father loves her and that she can always turn to Him no matter what she's going through.

I was just going to have her use the same dress Berkley was blessed in (the one that I was also blessed in), but my Mom thought it would be nice to be able to give each girl her own dress so she offered to buy this adorable dress for her.

Afterward, our family came to our house for pulled pork.  Zack loves any excuse to bbq.  Of course we took a bazillion pictures with family.

We were lucky enough to have all of our grandparents come (Peyton's great grandparents.)



All of our parents and siblings were there too (we didn't get a picture of Mitch and Amy.)  Plus a couple of my cousins.  Lots of people love this little lady.





It happened to be my Mom's birthday that day. We love these generational pictures.

I also got called to be the primary president in our ward that day.  Kind of surprised our family. 

 

 

 

And, naturally, I took way too many pictures of Peyton in her blessing attire.  Why?  Because I'm a mom and I think she's super adorable.
 

A Name and a Blessing

Last Sunday, March 28th, Zack was able to bless Berkley. Here she is all ready for her special day.

She wore my blessing dress that's almost 23 years old.

Even the smallest shoes are still too big on her.

Happy girl. She was so happy the entire time and didn't make a peep during the blessing.

Dainty little hands.

Yes I painted her little nails and yes it was difficult but they were so dang cute.

So excited!

Proud grandparents.

Four generations.

Our little family.

We had a good turnout.

 Zack's pulled pork sandwiches were a hit.

Thanks to everyone who came, helped with food, etc. It was a very special day!
