Isaac's Baby Blessing

Today has been a wonderful day! Isaac was blessed today and it was great. We were surrounded by our friends and family--I think we doubled the size of the ward today! We have some amazingly supportive loved ones...Taylor's entire family came up, my entire family was there, friends who drove up from Las Vegas and Provo...it was just great. Taylor gave Isaac a very special blessing in which we both got a little choked up. Following sacrament we headed to First American where we ate a yummy yummy lunch. Look how cute his blessing outfit is.



Girls I grew up with that came out for the blessing...Jessica (drove down from Rexburg), Kellie (drove up from Vegas), me and Afton (drove up from Provo). They are some supportive friends!

Afton and I at our place after the luncheon.
And how Isaac ended the eventful day. :-)
It was a great day!

Val, it was so fun coming to see you! And chat with you and see how happy you and your family are! You sure put in a lot of work for today, and I really apreciate you inviting us! Isaac is soooo sweet and looked so handsome today. Taylor gave and incredbile blessing. It really felt like he loved you and your son and you could tell that he knew you loved him. I love the part of the blessing where he said, "Listen to your mom... she is so special" (the rest was amazing too) Thank for letting us share in your day. Give me a call and we will get together soon! Love you!

Val, I am feeling a little out of the loop! I still have not met the little man, I didn't know that you were blessing him, I dont know how you are doing...etc! We keep missing eachother. I believe that Luke and I will be venturing up that way and I am requesting a lunch date with you! So let's try and get a hold of eachother.
Anyhow- could Issac be any cuter? Where did you find that blessing outfit? That is the most precious thing I have ever seen! I hope that all is well~
