Blessing Day













Grayson was given a name and a blessing yesterday in church by his Daddy. We had a lot of family and friends who were able to be there. It was so nice. Dennis did a great job, so did Grayson. He even slept through the whole sacrament meeting. What a good baby!We were able to have a little luncheon after and thanks to everyone who came it was a big success! I really appreciate everyone who helped, thank you!! I stayed up until 2 am the night before worrying and getting things put together and, tada, no problems, it was great.
Austin got hurt the night before, he kind of collapsed into the ottoman while I was nursing the baby. He is kind of a hyper little guy if you guys haven't noticed and so far he's done okay while I'm nursing for the most part, but a couple of times he's run outside and down the street, and then hurting his back and he can make a pretty mean mess in 20 minutes.
Uncle Jared, Aunt Asia and cousin Evelyn finally met Grayson this weekend. My Grandpa turned 91 today, happy birthday Granpda, I'm so glad he got to stand in the circle yesterday, it was really great, and something we'll never forget.

It looks like you had a lot a family come a support Graysons special day. Were did you get his cute outfit? You looks so good too!! I can't wait to hold our sweet little baby. I loved all the name suggestions everyone gave me, but I think I am pretty stuck on Eli Jusitn. Although, I never know until I actually write in the hospital.

We are so sad that we couldn't make the blessing. If only Lance was a better caller-backer we would have known in time. Sorry, it sounds like it went great though. What a cute little family!

talk about a beautiful baby! I got the privilege to hold little (not so little) Grayson today...lucky me. I think I smothered him with kisses, just ask Dennis. And it was so sweet, while Bryce and Dennis were talking, Austin was playing in the sandbox and dumping sand out. So, I came over to tell him to keep it in the sandbox and he looked very mischievous...and said "Austin loves you" and dumped a whole shovel full on my foot. Very cute. How could I be mad at the little sweetheart. I don't know how you do it Jenn...These boys are going to give you a run for it...handsome little sweet talkers!
