Nolan's Blessing

Would you believe that I have TOO many photos in my computer and that I ran out of space?  NOT me!  I guess 49,000 picture folders will do that!  So I couldn't blog because I couldn't post any photos my entire computer went nuts on me.  Luckily my sweet son in law, Spencer, knows computers and was able to fix it.  Now I have some additional space and two new hard drives I should be good for a while.  Alot has happened in the past couple of months and it was hard not getting to BLOG about it. 
Anyway I'm back and the first post will be about my sweet grandsons blessing.

We went to Coolidge on the 19th of December for Nolan's blessing.  He looked so handsome in his white suit.  He is such a good baby and I am so thankful for him.  I crocheted his blessing blanket and "OH MY GOSH" I had no idea that the pattern I chose was going to be so time consuming.  My heart would literally pound at times because I was afraid I wouldn't have it done in time.  BUT miracle of miracles I managed to pull it off and have it done 24 hours before he needed it! 
John was released as the Ward Clerk that day because they are moving to San Tan Valley!  I'm so happy that they are going to be closer to us and that we will get to see those sweet babies more often. Sometimes that hour long drive too Coolidge was just too far and I didn't get to see them as much as I would have liked.

John's parent's, Vaughn and Linda Griggs, flew in from Logan, Utah to be at the blessing and spend a few days with the family.  I seriously love and respect John's parents.  They are so kind and sweet and have raised an amazing family of 7.

Our Family- We missed the boys.  I can't remember if Royal was working or visiting family in Northern Arizona and DJ had to work.  They were sure missed.

Sweet baby Nolan with all of his beautiful hair.

Notice all of those little "puff balls" in his blanket? Those were tons of fun to make using fine baby yarn.  But so worth it!  I think the blanket turned out beautiful if I say so myself.

Isabelle was not about to look at Grandma and smile for the camera 

But she was more than willing to shower kisses upon her baby brother

A proud father

And a proud momma.  Notice her finger in Nolan's mouth?  He was hungry and didn't understand the fuss he just wanted to eat! 

Amanda looks so much like my mom.  Her blonde hair is exactly like hers.

Beautiful Family

Okay I detest pictures of myself BUT I was a trooper and let Amanda take a picture of me and for some crazy reason I'm posting it.....enjoy...haha

We had a wonderful day.  It's always nice to get together with family on such a joyous occasion.  The weather was beautiful, the kids had fun, the company was awesome and we topped it all off with a family dinner of creamy home made soups, bread, cheese cakes, cookies and fudge.  It was a perfect day for a perfect little boy.
