Bubba's Baby Blessing

So handsome in his little white blessing outfit.
(Mommy made the mistake of getting size small instead of extra small, so we had to cuff the sleeves and pants. But you can hardly tell and he still looks so dang cute.)
He's giving us a half smile. Mommy and Crew. (I got a new 'hot' mommy haircut. . . but yeah doesn't look too hot when you've been standing in the humidity, just ignore these pics of the hair, it can be cute and doesn't always look so lopsided.) Crew, Jeremy, Jerry and Grandpa Slavens. Almost a four generation picture. (Grandpa Slavens is Beverly's dad.) Still really neat.
Outside the church building before the blessing.
Last Sunday, on Father's Day we had Crew's baby blessing. It was so special to have Jeremy's grandma & grandpa Slavins and Beverly and Jerry here. Jeremy did a great job, and so did Crew. He didn't cry once (although I can't say the same for Jer. . . such a sensitive daddy! He had all the mother's crying.) Of course I forgot to bring a pen so I was trying to remember parts of the blessing to have as a keepsake, but I obviously couldn't remember everything so I was kinda bummed. After sacrament meeting a lady in the ward came up to me and handed me a sheet of paper. She had written the entire blessing almost word for word. WOW! I was kinda shocked as this woman didn't know me very well. But now I have that in Crew's baby book to always remember. What a perfect ending to a great day!
