Porter's Baby Blessing


Today was Porter's Blessing Day. We were so happy to have some of our family here with us for this special day. With priesthood authority, Travis blessed Porter and gave him a name, Porter Travis Grover (wow, that sentence is confusing with those names). The men that stood in the circle with Travis were Grandpas Garrett and Grover, Uncles Ethan and Brian, and the members of the bishopric--Bishop Richardson, Brother Turley and Brother Wilcock. Porter got to wear a very cute outfit that I had bought for Carson's baby blessing, but we ended up blessing Carson when he was 3 months old and too big for it. And Travis thinks it is too girly, but I snuck it on Porter this morning anyway. It was a wonderful blessing and I am so thankful to have a husband who is a worthy Priesthood holder who can bless our babies and our family.

After church we had a lunch get together at my brother, Ethan's house. We ate yummy food and just hung out for a little while. The family members that could make it today were Travis, Me, Carson, Porter, Grandma and Grandpa Garrett, Grandma and Grandpa Grover, Trina, Ethan, Lisa, Allyson, Jackson, Julianne, Trisha, Brian, Logan and Jaxon.

Congrats! What a cute family picture. Carson looks sooo cute in his tie! It's amazing how our first babies go from looking like babies to big boys when you bring home the new baby isn't it? I hope you guys are doing good & getting rest!

That is one cute picture! It is like a baptism picture from the mission -- everyone lined up neatly in front of the sign. Priceless.

Congrats! Hope all is still going well.
