Baby blessing

Evalynn was blessed on Sunday March 13th at my parents house. Jason's parents were able to come down for the blessing and we all had so much fun. It's always great to get together with family.

We went to Tucanos on our first night in Utah. Here is Janna helping Evie "rock climb"

The blessing was so special, very beautiful. It was really incredible, and I feel so blessed to have the family that I do.

Evie in her blessing dress. The sweater & booties (not pictured) were made by a sister who was in one of the wards my dad served in on his mission. Last summer my family was able to go to Ireland to visit his mission and they stayed with this family, while they were there the sister made this tiny sweater and the booties for our baby. It was so nice of her, we have yet to meet her in person, but I'm so grateful for her and these beautiful items!



Right before going to the temple we visited my grandma, aunt Amy & a couple of cousins.


My grandma Eva & Evie. Evie is wearing mittens that were made by my aunt Rosemary! (she also made a hat, which is just as adorable) They're gorgeous, and I love them!



We went to the SLC temple on Tuesday evening. We planned on doing a session, but ended up doing some sealings. It was the first time we had been back to the SLC temple since our wedding! It was great, and thank you to our babysitters, who sat in the waiting room and walked around temple square while we were in the temple.
