Jacoby's Blessing

While we were home we had Jacoby's blessing on January 25. In my religion, baby's are not baptized at birth but we announce their name and give them a blessing or a prayer on the baby. Most of the time they are blessed with things like health and happiness. My Dad gave Jacoby a beautiful blessing and it was so nice to be in Boise and have so much of our family there for this special occasion.

My Mom crocheted Jacoby's blessing outfit. It was beautiful and so special that my Mom made it. Thanks Mom so much! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make it. It really meant a lot to us and it turned out perfect!!

My Dad gave Jacoby such a beautiful blessing and I was so glad that he was able to do it! We had a pretty big circle with our wonderful family. Jacoby lost his pacifier in the middle of the blessing and it landing in between Josh and Brandon. They both commented that they wanted to plop it back in so bad but couldn't so Jacoby whimpered through the whole thing.

Proud Paka and Mamma. Thanks to both of you for making this such a special day for all of us. We love you so much!

I am so blessed to have such amazing parents that are such wonderful people and great examples. Jacoby is so lucky to have them for his grandparents.

Rylan and Jacoby. Rylan is Royal's son and was born one week and a day BEFORE Jacoby! My little guy doesn't look so little next to Rylan. I couldn't believe how much bigger he was.

Just checking each other out. How fun to have them so close in age!!

Jake and his Daddy!!! These two love each other so much and I am absolutely love to watch them interact. Jarod is such an amazing Daddy and Jacoby's face lights up whenever he sees him. The next day Jarod flew out of Boise to North Carolina and they were not together for 4 days. It was hard on both of them and me but we were so excited when we met up in the airport back home.

Lovin on my baby. I just cannot get enough of him!!!

During Sacrament meeting both of my parents spoke and did an amazing job. There was not a dry eye around- shocking for my family! I know that my Mom was not excited to talk that Sunday since she had a few other things going on but it was so neat to have them speak. Lacy was suppose to speak as well but instead she convinced Ashlee and I to sing with her. We sang the Prmiary song, "My Savior's Love." I love singing with my sisters but it was even better this time because Jacoby was singing with us! Jarod was holding him and as soon as he heard me singing he decided to sing along with his cute little coo.

I am such a big boy! Showing off my beautiful outfit!! I had measured him the week before on the phone with my mom so she could finish it up before we got there. In one week, he grew and it was a good thing we did it when we did or else it would have been too small. He is a growing boy!

Our beautiful baby boy. My Grandma commented when we were home that he has such a sweet presence about him. He truly does. He is beautiful inside and out and I feel so lucky that he is mine.

I was so glad that my Grandpa was able to come. My Grandpa has terminal cancer and was in the hospital that week but he was able to come and meet Jacoby. Four generations of Domeny's. My Grandpa looked at my Dad and around the room and said, "This all started with us and look at it now." Our thoughts and prayers are with him.

Jacoby and all of his little friends. So this is just some of the little ones in my family now. Look at all of those boys!! Poor Rainy.

Rainy, Stellar, Michael and his Herbie (the only way I could get him to hold still was to tell him that I was taking a picture of his Herbie car), Boden (he is such a ham and smiled in every picture!) and in the front row we have Jacoby and Rylan.

It was such a special day! Thanks to everyone for coming and for your love and support!
