Blessing Day

William Jeffrey was given a beautiful blessing today from his Dad today. It was such a great reminder of how thankful I am that Jeff is a worthy priesthood holder, and is the patriarch of our family. I feel so blessed to have the priesthood in our home. We were surrounded today by so many loved ones, and feel grateful for all of the support that we had.

both of our immediate families

the Lindsley family

the Davis family (with Justin's fiance & Jordan's girlfriend)

Katie Draper & the Larson family (our Provo family)

our little family

 We loved having our families over after the meeting

I LOVE my "coo-ing conversations" with my little love

Happy Blessing Day sweet boy, we love you!

Mr. Personality

It has been SO fun over the last few weeks to watch Will's personality come alive. He is constantly having "coo-ing conversations" with us, smiling at us, and kicking/moving his entire body. As we were taking pictures the other day, we captured a few of our favorite moods of his.

such a happy boy

I have never felt the amount of joy that I have being a mom. I am so grateful for this little one!
