Landry's Blessing


Landry was blessed by Bryan at church today. It was a beautiful blessing and what made it even better, was all the family that was able to come and be with us today. It was the perfect way to spend Easter.


I actually couldn't believe we got to church early today, not just on time, but actually early. Ever since we started having 9:00am church, we have been struggling to get there on time and usually show up late. Bryan did a great job on the blessing, and Landry actually stayed pretty quiet throughout the blessing. After the blessing everyone headed back to our home for some yummy lunch that everyone helped with.
There is only one thing I didn't do today and that was bear my testimony. I had to spend sometime feeding Landry in the mother's room during sacrament and therefore there just wasn't an opportunity. I am so thankful for so many blessings our family enjoys, and most importantly for this new miracle in our lives. To us our children are miracles, each of them have a purpose and I feel so fortunate to be there mother. I continue to pray all the time that I can do a decent job raising them and teaching them the things the Lord would like me to teach them. I'm so thankful to be surrounded by family that love and support our family, what a relief really! I love each and everyone of them, near and far. Well I would love to keep going with this post, but I am pretty tired after a long day.

That picture of your family is so beautiful. You look so good too! I still can't believe you have 5 children. You are such a good mom to them and are doing a fabulous job of raising them. They are lucky to have you for their mom. =)

How awesome to have a lot of your family there! I love tour "feet" picture, how creative! I don't know how you got 5 kids to stay for that shot...
My carmera broke, I am SO sad I couln't get "real" Easter pics of the kids...I might have to have them dress up again and take them before the month is over.
Things are settling down, maybe we can get together this week!
