Grayson's blessing was on Sunday, July 4th, 2010

Yesterday was Grayson's blessing. We chose to do a blessing in the evening due to family schedules and we already had 2 other babies being blessed in Sacrament meeting that day.

For those who do not know, Mike was not active when we met and married. He has come very far but was very nervous about the blessing. However, he did great. The blessing was beautiful and the Spirit was so strong. It was nice to have an intimate blessing. We went to the church house and had it in the Relief Society Room since our apartment is too small to have fit everyone.

I am not a fan of the fancy blessing outfits that look like the baby is in a wedding or going to prom. However, we were able to find some white pants and then we also bought an outfit that had this shirt under some coveralls. Grayson looked so handsome in it. His hair was still CRAZY as we can not get it to go any other way.

These are the wonderful men (minus the Bishop) that were able to be a part of this blessing. I am so grateful for men like them that live their lives in a manner that makes them worthy to hold the Priesthood and bless the lives of their loved ones.

Here is a picture of the entire group that attended. We were happy so many were able to make it seeing as it was a Holiday weekend. We are especially grateful that Mike's Aunt, uncle, and cousin (and his girlfriend) were able to make it down from Lewiston. It was a very special occasion. Having his blessing on Independence Day reminded me how lucky I am to live in a country that allows us the freedoms we have. Especially the freedom to worship as we please so that we may have the Gospel in our lives. A country, established to bring forth the Gospel in these last days. I know the founding father's were led by the Spirit as they established this country and wrote the Constitution. I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July and that you were able to celebrate the freedoms we enjoy in this great country.
