Zoey's Blessing Day {10.19.14}

Finally, I've gotten around to getting this down for the records! Haha!

We blessed Zoey on October 19, 2014. This is the 2nd time we've blessed one of kids on a non-fast Sunday. My reasoning is that I wanted to be able to host a brunch right after sacrament and not have anyone feel guilty to break their fast early. It's not in the books that you have to bless your baby on fast Sunday, but traditionally they are. Not how that started. Wells anyways, this was such a special day for us.

We had a good turnout from our family for this day. Tia Maggie and Tio Gerald came up from Tucson. And I had a special surprise from my cousin Trevor! I didn't even know he was in town from Utah!

Blessing Day

On Sunday the 9th, Grammy's (Sandye Sovereign) birthday, we blessed Summer. Our immediate family came minus our sister's that live out of state. Matt did a wonder job with the blessing. Summer was even good during the whole thing, probably because she was alseep the entire time. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. We have waited 8 years for her to arrive and she is finally here and I can't imagine life without her now. She is a very happy baby and hasn't given us much trouble. Here are a few pictures of her special day.

P.S. Her dress is handmade. My Tia Maggie sewed it for her, I picked out the fabric and made her bow.

Flashback: Scott's Blessing Day

I found these pictures of Scott's blessing day, July 11, 2004. Look at how young we look. Wow I was thin, what happened?!! hahaha
