Blessing...

Payton James Callister

Blessed January 31, 2010

What a beautiful day it was. Carson did such an amazing job giving him a wonderful blessing and Payton was as usual a very sweet, happy baby boy; who looked very handsome!

We have a couple who lives across from us who moved in shortly after we did who are not members, but they are such wonderful people. They are always bringing us food and right before we had Payton and right after we had him the spoiled him rotten! We decided it would be a great opportunity to invite them to church and to our house afterwards to eat with everyone. Well they accepted our invitation and it was wonderful to have them there and share our special day with them.

After the blessing we had a wonderful lunch at our house. I honestly can not say enough of how perfect and wonderful the day went!

We also had really good, cute desserts! My mom and the lady who makes my cakes did a wonderful job! They all looked so cute....

Before Church I warned the kids that when we got home from Church that we would do a few family photos in our Church clothes. Well they were very antsy, wanting to play with their cousins, so they did not turn out great. Actually, they didn't turn out at all. This is proof that we are not a perfect family, but we are trying to do the best we can with lots of love in between the imperfectness!

{This picture was actually taken last, after holding the other three kids down, that is why Carson looks sooo happy!}

This was a first attempt to a family photo, oh but wait Alec walked off before they pushed the button and Olivia was throwing a fit, so was Carson, and for sure me!

So here you go, our best attempt at a family photo on Payton's big blessing day!!!

{Jenny thanks for capturing so many darling photos of Payton and me and Payton together. It makes the attempt up above okay that they didn't turn out because we had so many other precious ones!}

I have 4 kids! They are beautiful, different, wonderful, and most important MINE!!!
