A beautiful day for a beautifully handsome baby!
A day that I as a Mommy
will never EVER forget.
It was just that special.
It had been a very stressful week;
Trying to find the perfect
little outfit for our little man.
Trying to figure out what to serve, how to serve it, where to get it, and the usual worries.
You guys, he's SO small.
We had the most difficult time finding something that would fit him.
It got to the point that we didn't care anymore.
Honestly, I was tempted to throw him in a onesie and add a tie.
We didn't give up though and
he looked rather dapper at the end of the day.
Thank you to both of Kyren's Grandma's
for buying him the cutest get up!
My Mom took it in, and it was still too big.
Thanks mama! :)
Sacrament Meeting was at 9.
We barely made it to church on time as it was.
Okay, let's be real.
We didn't make it on time. ever.
That morning was stressful.
and I just know I was super bossy.
Thankful for a very patient husband.
Nonetheless we made it, and early too.
Jace gave him the most beautiful blessing.
I wish so much that I could remember every word.
It was sweet, sincere, uplifting, and touching.
I can honestly say there are
far and few things better than
listening to your hubby give your son a blessing.
It is the BEST thing in the world.
It warms your heart and pulls every string within.
I am thankful for the Gospel.
I am grateful for Jace.
That he has the Priesthood not only in our home
but everywhere we go.
That he was able to give our son a name and a blessing.
Even though his clothes were two sizes too big.
and a very stressful, tiring week.
We made it through.
and at the end of the day everything was perfect!
Picture overload coming at ya.
Oh I feel so extremely blessed.
Blessed to be a wife.
Blessed to be a mommy.
Growing up I always knew I wanted to be a
Mommy.I
But I didn't know why.
And then I became your mommy
and I now know why.
Oh I love every single inch of him!
So many wonderful people
came and shared this special day with us.
We're blessed to call them family!
Kyren is blessed to have each of you surrounding him.

"How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink
Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon.
So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while.
Oh just let them be little"
"I never knew how much I loved your daddy
until I saw how much he loved you"
Jace, I am so thankful for the sweet daddy that you are.
I know that sometimes I'm a little
overbearing
emotional
demanding
bossy
too mama-bear-ish
and overly protective
but I thank you for wanting to tickle our son, throw him in the air, and spin him in circles.
I know that you will be his all time favorite best friend, and I secretly already know you are the "fun" parent.
"Having my baby fall asleep in my arms
takes away all of my worries and stresses.
A sense of complete and total peace
comes over me"
Every minute I hold you I feel the Spirit.
I'm not sure if it's because of all the Angels gathered around you
or if it's because
you ARE my sweet and perfect Angel.
However I do know that you, my Angel Baby,
have already touched the lives of
so many people.
You pull at our heart strings, ya know?
I can't wait to see the great warrior
that you will one day be.
I just know you have BIG things awaiting you.

Today as I sat you in your carseat
you started screaming
that sad sad cry..
I had to pick you up.
Then you did it again, and again, and again.
Every time I sat you down.
I decided I needed to bounce you. (ALL 7 times)
I caught you staring intently to the side.
I started talking to you, like I usually do.
"What are you looking at"?
"Kyren"???
"Who's over there"?
Usually you look at me and respond to my voice.
Nope, not this time.
You kept looking over there.
After a few more times of turning your head and you instantly turned it back
I realized what you were set on staring at.
A picture of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I got chills. I got emotional.
I may have let a tear fall or maybe two.
I know you know so much more than we do.
I know you still talk to Angels.
I know that when you're sleeping
and that cute smile comes out
you're playing with the Angels.
I know that they sing you back to sleep.
I know that our Savior has held you
just like the sweet child in this picture.
HE loves you.
and WE love you!
Thank you Kyren Jace for being ours.
For letting US love you.
