Joshua Ethan was blessed on Sunday, July 3rd, so we drove up to Logan early Sunday morning to be there for the 8:30 meeting.  Ethan gave him a beautiful blessing and I felt so grateful for a son who honors his priesthood and loves his son and wants the best for him.  My heart was full to watch my good husband, sons and son-in-laws, gather round that darling little boy and I felt the power and strength of the priesthood as they formed a circle around Joshua to give him a name and a blessing.  I am so grateful for the restoration of the priesthood and the great blessing it is in our lives.

We went to Ethan and Megan's home and had a lovely brunch of pancakes, frittatas, fruit, muffins, and juice. We visited for quite a while, then went over to Steve and Janet's, where the children were able to run and play and enjoy their lovely back yard and we all enjoyed a great Cafe Rio style burrito buffet and desserts later in the afternoon. It was a wonderful day.

Janet had lots of fun things for the children to do - they colored pages and stickers galore!
