Gavin's Blessing

Best Shot of Gavin in his blessing outfit.



Gavin was blessed on Sunday, April 13th. He was two weeks away from being four months old. Our other kids were blessed in the first two months, but we waited to bless Gavin until Andrew's family and my grandparents could be with us. It was such a special day. We had so many people there that is was kind of embarrassing how big the circle was. I think if I counted right, there were thirteen men in the circle. Andrew gave a beautiful blessing as always. After the blessing, we went to the park close to our house and had lunch. That day was sooo hot. It was almost 100F but there was a breeze so it wasn't unbearable to be outside. On the way home from church, I kept debating if to switch it to my home. But there was over 50 people there and I just don't think I could of done it at my house. Especially since we were leaving for Newport that night for a week vacation. It all worked out great. Thanks everyone for the help. During Drew's blessing, I was seriously so crazy busy that I forgot to take any pictures. This time I made sure to get a lot of pictures.

I was actually able to get one outside the church amid all the chaos.


Here is one with my family minus my girls...they were too busy playing with their cousins. I have a great family and I am glad we are so close.

All the ladies that came...there were just too many to have one big group shot. So we had to split up the boy and the girls. Andrew's family is close knit. He has lots of cousins that live close by and they are always so supportive. I married into a great family.


Here is a picture of Dan and Krystal's family. They are the most photogenic family.


A picture of myself and Gavin with Andrew's mom and his grandma. We were so excited that they were both able to be here. His grandma is 91 years old and I am amazed at how much she travels. She always tries to make it to all the special occasions. Thanks Kip and Diana for bringing her down with you.
