Mason's Baby Blessing

I can't help but look at these special spirits and know that they came from our Heavenly Father's presence. The pure innocent demeanors that they all poses is just a blessing from on High and I am so glad that I get to be a Mother.

Mason in his blessing outfit...this outfit was the first grandson's outfit on my side and our last baby wore it now too. Thanks Linds for letting us use it.

I love my babies each and every one of them brings a new and special light into our home.

We are so blessed to have such great support from our families. Both of our parents and all of my sisters were here for this special day. We could not have asked for more.

Our little family

My family...what a crowd...my how we have grown.

All the adults, minus Anthony, and we missed you dude.

The grand-daughters... Brianna, Arianna, MaKenna, Ellie

The grandson's... Joshua, Chase, Mason, Hunter and Brendon

All the grandkids on my side

I was going to make a cake for the occassion but I had nothing special in mind, when my sister who decorates cakes found this out she was upset with me...She drove 8 hours to come and I did not want to bother her with a cake too. So with no supplies and only an hour to do a cake this is the beautiful and yummy cake she did. Thanks Linds....you are the best!!!

As Chase would say "Baby Macey" loved his cake too. If truth be known only osmosisly through mommy though.

The "Boys" Brian, my Dad, and Ben

Hunter and Arianna, we could not get enough of this little girl and miss her like crazy. She is so sweet. We miss you Anna-Anna!!!

My sister Christie came and stayed for a couple of days extra before flying back to Arkansas. The kids having a pajama day.

Too Much to Remember

The kids just love and adore Mason and He loves them right back. He is starting to recognize us and smile....we love it and can't get enough of him. On a regular occasion you will hear mom say, "Please get away from the baby and leave him alone!"

So much has happened since Thanksgiving...it is hard to remember it all. After our sweet little Mason was born the holidays began and there was not a weekend until after the new year that we did not have company. It was busy but we are so GRATEFUL for all the love and support that has continually surrounded us through this great time in our lives. Here are some pictures of all that has happened......

MaKenna with her Santa present

Hunter and his new nerf gun. He got several guns for Christmas and they seem to be his favorite gift.

Brianna loves to be a mommy so she got a dolly of her own.

I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be a MOM!!!

Brian's parents came down here several times over the holidays, we are so blessed to have their support and love.

MaKenna sings in a show choir and had a couple of performances this season...She is a great singer.

Hunter started basketball and loved it...he was great at making shots!!

Daddy even got to be his coach.
