Jay's Blessing

Jay was blessed by his sweet Dad April 13th. It was such a special moment for Matt and I. It is crazy how long I have been excited for this day. Jay gave us a big scare the day before though. His cyst looked very inflamed, red, and the cysts inside grew about 4X. It was really scary. After a day of talking to plenty of doctors and nurses, we got him started on some antibiotics and gave him a blessing and by the evening, it had reduced in size considerably. The priesthood is such an amazing gift and I can't say how grateful i am that Matt is worthy. What a great example Jay has.
Our little Pimp Daddy. I have a feeling he is going to be a ladies man!
After the blessing we had 70 members of our family at our house. This picture only has my side of the family. We have spent so much time landscaping to get our yard ready for so many people! Now we can just enjoy it! I love having a yard, and I'll get some pictures posted later. My Sweet Cousins Louise, Angie and my sister Kari
My sister Kari stayed with me the week after the Blessing with her two sweet kids. Believe it or not, it really made me want more kids right now! Pretty sure it is going to be a while though, but I sure am excited!

Jay really is a "Pimp Daddy". You two have one cute little sweet angle. It was fun visiting you guys on Sunday, we look forward to seeing you all again. This time at our house. We won't have grass yet, but maybe a fence and some dirt to go 4-wheeling in.

It looks like the blessing went really well. I can tell from the pictures how sweet Jay is. I especially LOVE the first one. Who took it? It looks professional.
