The big guy's blessing

After our wonderfully fun weekend at the lake with my family, we rushed home with all the traffic heading back to Houston. It took longer than we expected, so there was only an hour before Kevin's family was going to show up at the house for Jaden's blessing.

We decided to do it at home so we would have more time to play with my family. We blessed Halli at home too when we were in Colorado. It's kinda nice doing it at home.

Kevin gave a beautiful blessing to our son. There's just something about seeing all these wonderful priesthood holders surrounding a baby, and giving them a blessing. I have been so very blessed to always have the gift of the priesthood in my home, and I truly feel even more blessed that now, Jaden will be able to learn and gain a love for this gosple through some truly amazing men.


Right after the blessing, all the girls and their cousins ran upstairs to play so we didn't get a family picture with them, and the pictures of the whole group were on my father-in-laws camera, so I'll have to steal them soon.:)
We had an fantastic weekend with our family, and wish we could live closer to everone, but for now this was pretty nice. I just wish it hadn't ended so soon!

I probably should have done that with Brielle. I had just been released from the hospital, could bearly walk(c-section) and went to church for the baby blessing so Matt's mom could be there. I felt like my feet were going to pop off b/c they were swollen.

Yeah,I'd say blessing them at home is a good option. Congrats!!! Your boy is definitely going to get some extra attention b/c he's the only boy.
