Uriah was blessed on December 2nd 2012. No matter how many baby blessings we've had, each one is so special and memorable for us. I'm so thankful that Jason holds the Priesthood, which is the authority to act in God's name. The blessing itself was beautiful and the spirit was so strong, even though Ezra was talking throughout the whole thing and kept trying to throw something at me. But that morning, I woke up, and it was raining like crazy outside. This was a HUGE storm, the biggest we had seen in a long time. I thought, I'm going to cancel and call my family and tell them not to come. I felt bad making them drive down for it. But then I thought, wait, um, we drive to Oroville all the time, rain or shine, night or day.... so I didn't cancel it. We all got ready in time, amazingly enough! I left with the roasts on and the house a mess and knew my family would all see my messy house after church, but I didn't care and knew getting to church on time was more important. So we took off to church in the storm! Roads were closed... our freeway was flooded due to the fact that a pump station failed. So we had to take detours like crazy but finally got there. The adversary really does try to keep stuff like this from happening and tried that morning! We all got there in one piece!! Ezra was ok during church, which he usually never is. He loved having the family there! Sacrament was wonderful and it was so nice being able to take it after not being able to for a few weeks! Since it was my first Sunday back to church since I had my new calling in Primary, my mom took care of Uriah while I ran around to figure things out for my calling. And then I was able to go to Relief Society with my mom and sister in law while my friends covered me in Primary! I hadn't been to RS in years! It was so nice being there with my family, but i missed Primary. Then we headed back to our house and ate to pulled pork sandwhiches and hung out! It was seriously the perfect day! Even with the crazy storm! I'm so thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ! The day of his blessing, a good friend of mine bore her testimony and talked about how much joy the gospel brings us! How if we didn't have the gospel, we wouldn't have the little things like baby blessings..... that bring us so much joy and happiness! We would be missing out on so much! And I totally agree! Even when I saw my brother Dustin and Jason both in their suits, walking down the hall together after church, seeing two amazing husbands & fathers, brought so much joy and happiness to my heart. I love it! Here are some pictures from the day!
Cami, Spencer, & Raquel... I love my siblings!
