Saturday, January 2nd we had a small gathering with family and friends at our church and had Daxton's baby blessing. Because of the flu season and the crazy sicknesses being passed around, we decided having a small gathering would be best. It actually turned out to be such a nice way to have a blessing! It was such a neat experience to have so many people we love, all in the same room, as we blessed our sweet baby boy.
Daxton, Ashley, Isaac, and Brett
Brett gave a beautiful blessing and I am truly grateful for a husband who honors his Priesthood and can bless our children.
Grandpa Dale, Grandma Linda, and Daxton
I was so thrilled my mom could be at Daxton's blessing. Just recently she is doing well enough that she was able to buy a van and get around to a few places. It was really neat having her there.

It was also very exciting to have Nancy and LaMonte here for the blessing. When Isaac was born they were on their mission, so we were very grateful to have them there. They are always such a big help!
After a little luncheon, my family realized we were all together at the same time and dressed up, so we took the opportunity to have a small photo shoot since none of us could remember the last time we took a family picture. Too bad the lighting in the gym isn't that great, but it's still nice to have documentation of us all together!
