I always love the day my children are blessed and Jackson's special day was wonderful. After days of rain and gloomy weather I woke to beautiful sunshine. I made sure we had a peaceful morning by doing all lunch prep and bathing children the day before. It was so nice to not be rushed and have plenty of time to focus on the spirit of the day. I loved getting Jackson dressed in his adorable outfit and thinking of all the other special days he will wear white (baptism and wedding). I have so many desires for my son. I desire him to follow Christ's example and to always choose the right. I desire him to make wonderful friends and be a righteous example. Above all I desire him to gain a solid testimony of the gospel and endure to the end. Last night as I fed him and held his little body I realized that he is so much more than just a baby. He is has a wonderful spirit and soul that will only grow and grow. This sweet baby boy will become a husband, father, and servant of the lord. His potential is infinite and I always want him to know that he is beloved of the Lord! I cherish these precious days and years I have to call him mine.

After the blessing we went to my moms house for a delicious lunch and pie. Everyone chatted and kids ran wild. I loved watching Jackson be passed around and adored. He has so many wonderful examples in his life and I feel so blessed that they are here to help raise my son.
