Blessings in our lives

On June 21st Jacob was ordained an Elder. It was a great accomplishment and I am so proud of him for it!
Because he is an Elder now he was able to bless Ryker on August 2nd. The blessing was so sweet and given with so much love. Jacob did a wonderful job and it was such a spiritual experience.
Thank you to all our family members who were able to be with us for the blessing. For those of you who weren't able to be there, we missed you very much!!
Here are a few pictures of the family after Jacob's ordination and Ryker's blessing. Doesn't Ryker look so handsome in his white suit.?! I wasn't planning on taking pictures at church, but then I realized I didn't take any of Ryker in his suit and needed to do that before we changed him. Unfortunately Justin, Michelle and Adyson and Will, Debbie and girls left before I decided to take pictures.
