Jonah's Baby Blessing


My sweet baby Jonah received an amazing blessing from his Daddy today. Unlike all of our girls who were blessed at church, we blessed Jonah at the Rees home.
We felt truly blessed to be able to share this wonderful day with Cathy and Tyler who also blessed their daughter, Rilynne. There is nothing better than spending a beautiful day with the people you love most. Cathy and Tyler were sealed to Rilynne this morning in the Salt Lake Temple and it was the most sacred, heart warming, beautiful ceremony I've ever witnessed between three beautiful people. To me, there is nothing better than smiling through tears! After the sealing, Tyler gave a very emotional and heart felt blessing to his daughter Rilynne. Burt followed, with a very strong, very inspiring and touching blessing to his son, Jonah.
We had a delicious luncheon, took an abundant amount of pictures and created a day full of special memories!
I'm so grateful for the plan of salvation. I'm so grateful that families are eternal and that because of our faith and beliefs, we will all be together forever! I'm so blessed to have such an amazing husband and four beautiful children who fill my heart with raw, unconditional love and joy. I'm grateful for the gospel and for the principles it teaches me. I truly believe it's my "How To Guide" on raising a family! I'm grateful for events like today, that put life into perspective, and remind me how much I truly love my Heavenly Father.
