Jace's Blessing

My Dad gave Jace a name and a blessing on March 18. It was a very special day for a very special little boy.
This was the best family picture we got all day. Pictures are so much fun with a three year old! This is his new smile- just ask him.
My mom made Jace's outfit. It is linen and so sweet. It was perfect for my little boy.
The blessing was very short and sweet but it did bless Jace with knowledge, health, love and that he would be close with his siblings.
They did it a little different this time and asked that Jarod and I walk up with the people that were in the circle. Then we sat on the first pew and listened. Jacoby stayed with my mom.
He didn't make a peep the entire time even though he was wide awake. I had just nursed him. Afterwards, my dad handed him to Jarod and Jarod held him up for the congregation to see him and at that exact moment he sneezed really loud. It was hilarious!
Mama and Paka, Ty, Kimber, Michael, Boden, Ash, Brandon, Emma, Lacy, Brian, Grandma GG, the Gills and the Miller's were there. We took up a lot of rows. After the blessing, we passed Jace around during the rest of church and then we went to my parents house.
Since church was at 11, we had sandwiches and then had an ice cream sundae bar. It was so fun!
The kids were exhausted and spent the afternoon watching a Garfield movie. They each had their own blanket and area. They are too funny.
With all the kids entertained Jace loved all the attention. He is the happiest sweetest baby I have ever known.
He lights up my world and I am so happy that he is my baby.
I love this little guy so much and cannot imagine my life without him.
Later in the afternoon, I laid down next to him on the couch. He sat and talked to me and gave me lots of kisses.
I of course had to grab my camera.
These little moments mean the world to me and I was so glad I was able to capture them.
Jacers your mama and daddy love you so much and we are so glad that you are here. You have already made an amazing impact on our lives and have taught us so much already. I knew you the moment you were born and I have never doubted that you are suppose to be here at this time and that you are in the right family. You are so loved and we are so lucky to have you. We love you so much!
