We had the opportunity to bless Tanner in church yesterday. I am not a photographer by any means, but wanted to share some pictures of Tanner in his blessing outfit. I looked for an all white outfit and was not able to find one, so this outfit had to do. It was nice to able to have Doug and Liz and Sarah and Justin and their kids join us.
Doug and Justin joined in for the blessing, along with
Treg Julander, Matt Call, Clint
Helton, and Bishop Loy. It was such a neat experience to see such a little baby taken into the arms of those priesthood holders. Brett did an incredible job and really felt the spirit of the Lord as he spoke. Some of the key points that I remember were that Tanner was blessed with the desire to serve. He was blessed to seek learning from the scriptures and by doing so would learn of the Savior and His teachings. He was also blessed with the ability to see the faith of his family and would thereby
strenghten his own faith, especially in his Savior. It was an awesome blessing. Now it is up to Brett and me to teach him and lead him in the Gospel. Not the easiest task in the world we live in now, but we are up for the challenge knowing the anything is possible through the help of our Heavenly Father!

He looks so cute! I had a hard time finding a blessing outfit too. Mine didn't end up being all white. Oh well! It is so nice to hear their blessing. I remember Chad telling Micah to "listen to your mother." I loved that!
With you two as parents, I have no doubt he will be raised so righteously. He looks like a doll, I'm so excited for you guys. The newborn stage is so unique - as you're fully aware!
That is sweet...it sounds like it was a beautiful blessing! I wish we could have been there. Maybe for your babe NEXT year!! haha.
Awww he is so cute. You guys are such an awesome family. It was great going over to your house, you guys have such a wonderful home.
