Ethan's Blessing Day

From the moment one of my precious babes enter this world, I look forward to their blessing. 

This day was special, just like the other two.  My heart was full of joy all day long.

 

The day was beyond gorgeous.. high 60s and lovely. November? Who knew?! 

I like to think the heavens and all our loved ones up there were rejoicing just as we were.

 

Ethan James Baughman..nearly 7 weeks.

Sporting the same getup as Luke. And looking oh-so dashing!

He is such a lucky little boy to come to a home with a father who honors his priesthood. 

Justin offered the most beautiful blessing.

 

Ethan was blessed with a desire to know who his is and where he comes from-- a desire to know of his divine potential and heritage. 

He was blessed with the strength and desire to gain a relationship with our Savior. 

He was blessed with a desire to serve others, to seek out and find his talents

and to gain a testimony and share it with others.

Simply lovely.

We had quite the crew come and support Ethan.  It was awesome!

Afterwards, the crew came over for lunch at our abode.  Ethan was tuckered out and spent half the party in his room asleep.  After most people ate, I thought it was time for him to make an appearance at his own party!

The cute Conleys and a bunch of the kiddos..

Cousins McKenzie and Brittany.. Aunt Mikelle and sweet little Beckham

Papa and Uncle Matt.. who is moving soon to Herriman! Hoping we get to see his gang a lot more.

Lacey & Anderson... Angie & Harlie

Poor Mary was so terribly sick.  We're so grateful she still came... even though she could only stomach a roll. Sweet girl.

The Watsons had too good of a time outside... didn't take those kiddos too long to figure out how to jump from the bball court to the tramp. What a fun group!

Because these two have to be documented.. even though the pic is weird.

Camille and Jeff

Papa and Grandma Debbie.. these two were wonderful!

The night before, they held down the fort with all three kiddos... cleaned... prepped food for the blessing.. all so Justin and I could have a night out solo. 

It was heavenly.  We were so grateful!

Cute cousins

Ethan more than enjoying cuddles from his Aunt Camille!

The men seemed to find themselves right at home... out here..

Me and my babe at the conclusion of all the fun.

 

We're so grateful for loving family and friends... who showed love and support.. whether they were near or far. 

We missed so many of our close family members that couldn't be with us.. but we felt of their love.  And we so enjoyed seeing all of those who were in attendance.  

My heart is full.
