Oakley's Blessing Day

Oakley was blessed on June 13, 2010. He was 4 months old. It took us awhile to be able to find a weekend when everyone was going to be in town and able to come. It looked like we were not going to be able to find a time so we decided we better do it before he could walk up there himself! :) Lindsey, Devin and Max were not going to be able to come, but they drove home from a family reunion in Idaho and surprised us by showing up in sacrament meeting! What a great surprise. Oakley did great! He was very quiet and calm during the blessing. It brought tears to my eyes to see all the worthy priesthood holders get up to bless Oakley. What a great support system our little family has. And what good examples my little boys have to look up to and follow. Oakley's blessing was awesome and I was so proud to be his mommy!
Oakley proved himself to be the great baby he is by sitting quietly during the rest of sacrament meeting and he went down for nap right when we got home from church. He is a little sweetheart.

Boys can have cute blessing outfits too! Little white shoes! So handsome.

The blanket we wrapped Oakley in was the blanket I was wrapped in on my blessing day. Courtesy of my mom.

Daddy and Oakley on Oakley's special day. The day went great! We had a lot of family, a wonderful blessing, lots of yummy food, and the weather held out until the party was over (it looked like rain the entire day)! Thanks to everyone who came to support little Oakley!
