Spencer's Blessing

Because we like to be difficult...or ehm, include family, neither of our boys have been blessed in our home wards.  Tanner got to fly from Philadelphia to Boise and was blessed at my parents' house.  So with Spencer, we thought it fitting to fly him to California and bless him at Lowell's parents' house.

On April 29th that is exactly what we did.  Spencer looked adorable in his outfit made by yours truly (I am pretty proud of it, there was minimal intervention from my mom - which is impressive.  I actually read and followed the pattern...okay enough about the outfit.)  My well-mannered baby screamed through his whole blessing, nonetheless Lowell gave a very nice blessing and it was a great experience.   I am so grateful for a husband who holds the priesthood and is able to exercise it for our family.  And I am so grateful for my little Spencer who brings such light and joy to our lives.

What most family pictures look like...please note Spencer's calm face

A semi-decent one

The Circle: Uncle Warren, Bishop W., Uncle Owen, Spencer, Lowell, Grandpa S., and Brant L.

The Cute Boy...he was not very interested in posing for the camera and kept arching his back trying to move

Wow! Impressive on the outfit! Spencer is so stinkin' cute. We drove to Ca for Henry's so we'll see what happens with baby 2. Happy blessing day, Spencer!

Wow - super impressed with your sewing skills! And it's amazing how much Tanner looks like you and Spencer looks like Lowell! :)
