So I have been majorly slacking in the blogging department. I went back to work and it's all I can do to make dinner and keep the house clean. I like going to work but it does make for more messes to clean up.
On April 14th we blessed our little Gracie. We were kind of nervous about how she'd do, I know Justin was especially but she did great. She was awake right before and fell asleep during the opening exercises. We also had 3 other baby blessings that day and we were the 3rd. So busy day in our ward. I swear our ward is keeping the population of Utah going. When we got here there was a big wave of babies and now there is another big wave of babies coming. Grace is at the beginning of it.
It was a really nice day weather wise and with family. Justin was nervous but he did a good job. He gave her a beautiful blessing talking about having Faith and Charity. Our little girl will be great I just know it.
We had to take some photos before hand since my dad left.
4 generations on the Stoddard side
Yay for Stoddard cousins minus Gabriel- He came the next day.
With the Michilena Grandparents. I forgot to do a 4 generation of the Michilena side that day. We do have one from earlier.
Cutie pie in her sweet dress my mom got. I love it.
All the Messenger clan minus Jayson and Neha. We were so happy to have everyone there.
After a while this little miss had had enough pictures and conked out the rest of the day.
I really wanted to bear my testimony but with the 4 baby blessings and all the kids that share we ended up going twenty minutes over anyways. So, I'll share here. I am so grateful for the gospel in my life and the peace and calm it gives to me. With so many changes for my family in the past couple months good and bad. I've never felt the love and protection of my Heavenly Father so close. I know that I am extremely blessed and that it all comes from my Heavenly Father. I know that prayer works and that it can bless lives and provide protection. I know that the Book of Mormon is a true book and that by reading it it will change your life. I know that Joesph Smith is a true prophet called of God. I know that President Thomas S. Monson is called to lead us today. I know that Temples can seal families together forever and that going inside the temple can bring you closer to Christ. I love my family, I am thankful for all that they do for me and my little family now. I love being a mommy as well.
Thank you to everyone for coming to show your support. We love you all and love to see you. =)
