Lucy's Blessing Day

Beautiful Lucy wore the same gown that was worn by all 4 of her older sisters. It is amazing to me that they've all been different ages and sizes when they were blessed and it seems to have fit them each, perfectly.


On the fourth of July, we celebrated in part by having Lucy's baby blessing. A very special occasion made even more special by the attendance of so many family and friends. Lots of Redds, lots of Stones, our friends the Burns, and lots of yummy food made for good times all around. Of coarse Lucy was the star of the show and what a wonderful and beautiful star she is.

The blessing was administered by Mike and all of his brothers, along with his dad were in the circle. My Dad and my brothers, Brigham and Nephi were there, along with brothers-in-law, James and Darren. My nephew Derrik, our friend Jaydee Burns, Bishop Bush (of my parents ward) and his councilor Bro. Smith rounded out the circle.

It was nice to get to have Gma Lou there (Mike's maternal grandmother) Thanx to Aunt Susan (Mike's mother's youngest sister) for bringing her. Also thanx to Aunt Susan for coming and bringing the super yummy "salad" (made of pudding, cookies and other wonderful sweets)

My most rewarding moment are those with my children. I'm so thankful to be a mom and so thankful that the Lord has blessed us with this new wonderful little girl.

Pres. Ezra Taft Benson said, "Above all else, children need to know and feel they are loved, wanted, and appreciated. They need to be assured of that often. Obviously, this is a role parents should fill, and most often the mother can do it best."

Well these kids are certainly loved. I hope they know that.
