One Last Blessing

In July, right before the move we blessed Charlotte. It was a sweet blessing. Being that Charlotte is our last one watching Steve bless our last child was bitter-sweet.

We are not like others... we don't have a big party after the blessing, we keep it small and to the point. The men that stood in the circle to bless this sweet girl was Steve, Larry {Steve's dad}, my dad {who has been able to make it to each blessing that we have had for our children}, and a close friend, Issac. The blessing was beautiful, blessing her with strength, and wisdom. To have faith and t grow to be a beautiful woman, inside and out.

The blessing was beautiful... the pictures.... well.... what do you expect with 5 boys???







Almost.......
And then Swim moved.

One of Steve and I.... and Benji.


After the day was done I realized that I didn't have any pictures just of Charlotte. So naturally Iput her back in her dress and grabbed the camera.

Many people go all out and have long flow-y dresses that are beautiful.... but that's not me. I'm way more simple and the long gown with all the lace and buttons is just a bit much.

I found a simple white dress {which it does NOT have to be white} a cute sweater and a cute hair bow. A few ruffles and a bow. It's simple sweetness was beautiful to me.
 {she was loving her tongue}
 {my plan is to frame this dress and hang it in her room}

It was a wonderful day. Nothing big and over the top. But it was special for me. I feel so blessed to have this little girl in my life!

While we were in Utah we were visiting with Steve's sister Kim and her son CJ. I had wanted to climb the "Y". Up in the Provo mountains is a painted Y for BYU. You can see it from the freeway. It's about  mile up. It was harder than I thought it was going to be, but it was totally worth it.

That day we left Benji, Swim, and Charlotte with Kim and Steve and I took James, Tommy, Tim, and nephews CJ, Jared, and Max.

James had a rough time going up, but he made it! I was so proud of him!

Tommy, Tim, and CJ pretty much ran the whole mile up the hill.  {Gotta love the competition}
Do you see that??? That is Provo! The view was amazing!
