Blessing Day 2/7/10

This past Sunday, we blessed our little Kelsie. The whole week I thought a lot about this baby girl that had been sent to us. I think I've memorized every inch of her and have a tendency to pick at her ears, nose and face in general. What? I get bored easily and it's kind of fun. I am not the only mom that does this! I know it! It's like popping a zit! You have to do it!

Anyways...while we were waiting for church to start, a lady in my ward came up to see her and told her that this was her special day. I had not thought of it like that before. Duh. As the meeting started, I looked down at her and thought, 'This IS your special day! You are special! You are a daughter of God and have such huge potential and I am here to help you see that!' It immediately brought tears to my eyes to think that this special little spirit was entrusted to me and her dad to take care of and help teach her the good things of this world.

After church, everyone came back to the house to eat a yummy breakfast. We paid homage to my Dad and made his famous Sunday buttermilk waffles. This was my way of including him in the celebration but I'm pretty sure he was already hanging out:)

Kylin? Zadie? (What? They're twins!) Jayden, Josh

The happy (white) family! Sheesh. I guess we need a little Arizona sun or somethin!

Kelsie Baby!
I think we might be putting her in the blessing dress again to take a few more pictures. We better hurry before she grows out of it. And apparently, as you can tell from the above pictures, there were no other adults at our party. Oopsy. Sorry: Jami, Kelli, Nate, Seth and Mom. I guess we needed to take some of you as well.

What a super cute girl! I love how chubby she is! (chubby babies are always the best:). She's lucky to have such awesome parents who will do a great job teaching and loving her. I am excited to see her grow!

Great post. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there. Of course the twins would get sick that morning.
I'm sure Mont was there the whole time and loving every minute of that cutie.
