Bennett's Blessing Day

Since we were going to have family in town, we decided to bless Bennett while they were here. It was so great to have family here with us on his special day (We missed you Forbes family). Bryan did a great job and Bennett must like his name because he didn't make a peep during the blessing!
Bennett with Grandpa Mason. Grandma Mason got sick and wasn't able to come to the blessing. I felt really bad that she was sick so far from home. Hanging out in the hotel room all alone was probably not that fun.

Here is our sweet boy. Shannon made his blessing outfit. She made both of my girls' blessing dresses too. I think it's so special that they all have one made by their grandma. She is so talented!!

Family picture- we are all looking at the camera! It's a miracle.

The proud mom and dad!









I took this picture yesterday and I had to post it because I thought it was so sweet. Chloe loves to read books and yesterday Bennett was a little tired and fussy. Chloe sat down on the floor next to him and read him one of her Book of Mormon books and he fell fast asleep. What a precious moment! He loves his big sisters. He isn't happy when they aren't around. He likes all the noise they make!


The blessing day was wonderful. Bennett was blessed with a desire to do missionary work and the ability to be a friend to everyone. I can't remember everything that was said, but those are the things that stood out in my mind. It's so great to have a husband who has the priesthood and who can bless our children. I am a lucky girl to have such a special man and three beautiful, happy, and healthy children.

Loved all of the pictures...they made me want to come back and hang out at your place...it's a fun place to be. I can't believe how handsome baby Bennett looked in his blessing outfit. Dad and I actually thought he looked like one of your baby pictures in one of the shots...I'll have to forward the picture to you. What a beautiful family...we love you and are so happy for you...mom

Oh, we so wish that we could have been there. It looks like you had a good time. We are excited to see you in October. The girls are going crazy. I should have never told them that you were coming. We will have to go do fun stuff when you come. I don't know if you have been there, but I have heard that the is a fun live aquarium place in salt lake to visit. Can't wait to see you guys!!
