what a blessing

In our church, when a baby is born they are given a name and a blessing. The blessing is given by the father. Jared was able to give Kem her blessing a few sundays ago. It was an absolutly awesome day. Jared's blessing was beautiful and I was beaming. The spirit was so strong for me that day. I had the same feelings this day that I did when Kroten was blessed; look at this beautiful baby, so close to heaven and heavenly father has trusted me, in this horrifying and cruel world, to raise her, to teach her, to cherish her, to love her, to grow with her and to be her friend. It is a little overwhelming of a thought but it is one of the most wonderful things I have ever had to do in my life. The other thing that baby blessings make me think is how grateful I am for a husband who loves and cherishes these children as much as I do and is worthy and holds the priesthood to give them a name and a blessing. I am not trying to be prideful or boastful, but I am a pretty blessed woman... wait, when did I become a woman with a HUSBAND and two KIDS?

he is seriously beaming with love for his little girl. I love him.





Something special for me was that Kem was wearing the dress that I was blessed in. She was beautiful. I love this dress, my grandmother made it for me and now she got to wear it. It was a special way to connect generations.
I was a little bit older in this picture and quite a bit chubbier! :)

It was a special day and I am so grateful for all the blessings in my life.
