.:Harper’s Blessing Day:.

We were able to bless Harper this past weekend. My parents came into town, and we got surprised by Dani, Jefferson, and fam making the trek down from Boise. It was a whirlwind weekend, but we were able to hang out, eat, laugh, and enjoy being together.

We had a great turnout to Harper’s blessing. I went away from the day convinced that we know and have the best family and friends around. We’re so blessed to be surrounded by so many good people, and to have so many people care about our little family so much.

Harper was beautiful in her blessing dress – which is the same dress both Reece and Remi wore. She didn’t make a peep during the blessing (although Remi was doing some nice modeling moves on the coffee table during the blessing), and Josh gave her a beautiful blessing. I’m so grateful that he is worthy to hold the priesthood and be the head of our home. The girls are so lucky to have him for a father, and we’re all so lucky that he takes care of us so well.

We didn’t take many pictures (duh!) so here are the few that we got from the day. (Sad we didn’t really get any with anybody else!)

Our little family – Josh and his girls

Reece and Tay playing with Grandpa Paul and his tablet (I’m surprised he still gets it out around Reece, with how much she hassles him to play with it!)

Remi has the ability to fall asleep anywhere. Literally, anywhere. (She is her father’s daughter!) Skipping a nap was a bit too much for her.
