{a very blessed day...}

dear baby haws,
last week was your blessing day. (august 1st) and what a beautiful day it was!
your daddy gave you the most beautiful blessing. he blessed you to always have a deep love for the lord.
he blessed you to be a leader among your siblings. he blessed you to have a strong and able
body that would help you carry out your mission here on earth. he also let you know what a joy
you are to our family. 




you are so lucky little haws,
 to have a father who honors his
priesthood, and  grampies who do too.



there was a lot of yummy food.



and there were a lot of family
and friends there who love you.





of course your big brothers were there too.
they both love you so much. haws, what do you
think the chances are of them holding still
for a family picture?
 you guessed it...

baby haws, may i echo your dad by saying what a joy you are to us! you have brought so much love and happiness to our home. there is so much about you that lets me know exactly where you came from. you are such a sweet, good natured baby. i love smelling your sweet sour cream breath when you giggle at me. you are the last thing i see before i go to bed and the first thing i see when i wake up, what a treat for me! no one looks at me the way you do haws. your big brown eyes follow my every move and give me the satisfaction of knowing i really did have something to do with you and your blue eyed blond haired brothers:)

haws, i know you will live up to all the blessings you were blessed with this day and so much more. may you always know how much your momma loves you little one.

Very cute, I especially love the family pictures, they are better than ones when you are all looking and smiling at the camera. Cameo shots are the best :) I will entertain your kiddies anytime, just bring them over, what is 3 more LOL :)
