Family Picture and Luke's Blessing

When we went to take Luke's blessing pictures, we took some updated family pictures since we ere already going to be there

Brent gave Luke a name and a blessing on April 14th. It was a beautiful day. We were blessed to have my family and grandparents along with Brent's family and grandparents. It is so wonderful to see our children with their great-grandparents.

Brent blessed Luke that he would serve a mission and find a worthy companion to take to the temple to marry and to be a leader in the church.  It was a sweet moment that always makes me tear up. I love my sweet boy so much and I am so thankful Heavenly Father has blessed us with him in our home. I feel a very different responsibility with him. Being a Mother of a boy and knowing that he will one day be able to receive the Priesthood, I pray daily that I can teach him all I am suppose to.

Being a Mother, and the mantle that comes with it causes be to ponder daily If I am doing all I can to teach these children and raise them to be disciples of Christ. It is a tall order from our Father in Heaven. Blessing days become a great reflection for me.
