Ainsley's Blessing

Ainsley was blessed on March 17th.
Our little angel of a baby looked gorgeous in her white blessing dress. Unfortunately, she had the worst blow out she's ever had within 5 minutes of the blessing. I mean, of course she did. Obviously.

 My brother Lane was being transferred from the hospital in California so my mom had to miss it to be with him. It was a hard day on me for that reason. I had a hard time not having my mom there and was worried that everything was going okay with my brother. He ended up making it safe and everything worked out in that regard. 

Aside from that it was a beautiful day. Clint gave Ainsley a gorgeous blessing. I actually recorded it on my phone so I can write it in my journal to show her later. She is such a sweet little girl and we feel so lucky to be her parents. Forget mother's day, we should have kid's day to honor how amazing kids are. I'm sure she's a bigger blessing in my life than I am in hers. Sometimes I look at her and I cry because I'm overwhelmed with gratitude and joy to get to be a witness to her life and the beautiful person I know she already is. It's hard to put into words and I'm not sure if any of that made sense. 

Let's move onto pictures. Before we do that, can we all promise to be nice? I'm really self concious about how I look in these pictures but I'd hate to hold back memories because of that. But we're all friends here right? You'll be nice to me. Please? :)

 My best friend Alyssa with her twin boys who just turned one!
 My best friend and sister Jenna! Try not to hate her for being so beautiful.
My awesome in-laws!
My kick-butt family!
 My special, new family. I love us. So lucky to have these two. Also, how flippin cute is my child?!

I recorded Mia's blessing as well... I need to get that written down before it's accidently deleted.
