Ashers Blessing Day

 Asher was blessed this past Sunday in church. He was having a rather fussy day, but did great during church and his blessing. Didn't make a peep! He is sick with a bad cold now, so now I know why he was so sad on Sunday. Poor little guy!

 

I thought maybe he would be a little happier in Grandmas arms for a picture. Still just a crying away though! Emma was sure to help with her special blanky though!On a side note- Emma was having a GREAT day! She was running around SO excited that there was thunder and lightening outside. She would squeal with delight every time she heard thunder!

 All the kids with their Grandparents! They sure do LOVE their Grandparents! We are really lucky to have them live just 45 minutes away.

Asher had a beautiful blessing. My dear friend wrote it all down for us, so I can record it here now! Here is what he was blessed with:
-Your body mind and spirit may grow in strength and health.
-Be an instrument in the Lords hands for good
-In time you will be able to serve a mission
-Have a respect for women.
-Have respect for your sisters, and honor, love, and obey your mother
-In time choose a righteous woman to take to the temple to be married for time and all eternity
-That you will learn to be wise in making difficult decisions, that you will learn to to Choose the right and follow the commandments
-Learn that Obedience will bring happiness and peace and that you will share that happiness with others

General Conference

 We had a great general conference weekend. We watched 3/4 conferences and for the last Sunday afternoon session decided to drive through the canyon as we listened. The girls were pretty good about sitting and listening. I do recall Claire looking stunned when we started the 3rd session saying "this again!?" I think she thought we maybe had a movie to watch. haha

I love being with my family and driving through the canyons in Utah. It is beautiful. We loved the messages we heard from the apostles and prophets too ;) My favorite talk was President Monson from the RS session. He talked about being special and being individually loved and needed by the Lord. He also reminded me how special prayer was. It felt like he was talking to me. Just what I needed to hear.
