Blessing Day

Today was Eithan's Baby Blessing.

He was blessed by his wonderful daddy Collin.

Those who were in the circle included:

Grandpa Rose, Grandpa Winks, Paul Gessel (brother-in-law),

Mike Asay (friend and mission companion), Tim Schmidt (friend), Jeremy Cardon (friend), and Bishop Lawson.

It was a wonderful day, and we were so grateful that so many of our family members were able to make it!

But at this point, I know you are all dying to see the little man in his blessing outfit. So, I won't disappoint you!

I think this is his "gangsta" face

{This is because of that hat, doesn't it look 'thug'?}

Eithan's sweet and smiling pose-

daddy is up above him making him happy!

I don't know what to call this one-

but it's just doggone cute!

And finally, our precious little one at his finest!

Thank you to everyone that came! We love all of you, and we missed all of you who couldn't come!

We want all of you to know that we are so grateful for this church, and we are so grateful that now Eithan is officially on the records of the church and will be linked with us forever. We are so blessed to have this gospel, and to have the knowledge of eternal families. We are ever striving to be worthy to live together with our Heavenly Father and our little angel Joshua. We must never lose sight of the end goal: eternal life with our loved ones and Jesus.

Love you all!
