Tate's Blessing Day

Sunday we had Tate Blessed! It was such a beautiful day and so nerve racking as parents. It was his first big event and I was a stress case worrying about will there be enough food, is my house put together, are the tables set up just right. But then when it came down to what mattered, the blessing all that other went away.
Josh did such a wonderful job blessing his SON. He was perfect! I am so grateful to have a husband who honors his priesthood and was able to bless Tate. And it was so great to see most of the men in our family stand in that circle, such a strong spirit was there.
And I as well had the opportunity to get up and bare my Testimony, something I think that most mothers feel they need to do on the day their baby gets blessed, I was so nervous I didn't get to say all I felt I wanted to but I was able to share what little I did while all my family was there.

Here are some of my side of the family sitting under our tree. It was so hot everyone was such good troopers. I wish I would have gotten pictures of everyone and all the tables. I was a little busy though.

Josh's Mom bought Tate this perfect white Tux. He looked so cute in it even though a was a little big. I couldn't get a good picture cause he was ready to eat! So I am going to have to put him in it later this week for some pictures.






GG and Tate, my Grandma loves this little guy, and he just snuggled right up to her. Love you Grandma! You're the best!


Thank you everyone who came and shared Tate's special day with him.

Sorry we couldn't be there Ash! I remember the day Chad blessed Chanelle! I bared my testimony too and was way nervous that day! Write down how you felt in a journal and when you are pregnant with baby number two like I am, you will read it and remember what a special day it was like I do. We love you guys!

I'm glad you had such a beautiful day. I'm coming at the end of August and we are trying to make a trip up north to see my grams. Hopefully we can stop by and see you too! If you'll have us?!

Cute cute pics. I so don't bear my testimony in sacrament meeting and DO NOT think it is a requirement when your child gets blessed!!! But way to go for being brave, cuz all I do is cry for no reason other than being nervous.
