In our church, infants receive a blessing in which their name is announced before God and witnesses and they are given blessings as the Spirit directs. Usually it is the father who gives the blessing (with other worthy Priesthood holders assisting by standing in a circle with one hand on the baby and the other on the shoulder of the man next to him) and he announces the baby's name and then blesses the baby with things like health, spiritual strength, desires for worthiness and service, to be a good example of Christian living, and things like that, according to what he feels God has in store for the child. Landon received his name and blessing yesterday.
Such a great day! The weather was beautiful, family and friends came from near and far, and the baby blessing Brice gave Landon was especially tender.
After church we went to our house and cooked up some delicious food! The fajitas were a hit! The chips and fresh salsa and bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers were scrumptious as well. And, of course, more cupcakes! I think I've eaten at least a dozen cupcakes this weekend. That's just wrong.

There is nothing wrong with eating a dozen cup cakes. You only live once and those cupcakes are heaven. In fact I ate 3 today ha ha ha.
Obviously I have been terrible about blogging lately...thank you for you're sweet comment on my latest post! (They act as a good reminder for me to check your life out too!!!)
Looks like life is treating you well. You have a beautiful family.
There is something oh-so-special about baby blessings! Kalynne blessed her little girl on Sunday as well!
Looking forward to keeping up better on your family happenings!
I might have just spent 45 minutes reading all of your old posts...:) You're great, and your kids are darling! Loved reading your Landon birth story and name finding, so cute! I'm a nerd...I need to go to bed now :)
