Today was Jackson's blessing. It was a beautiful day! Steve gave Jackson a really great blessing and Jackson looked so handsome. We had a lot of family over for the event. We want to tell everyone who was able to make it that we appreciate their support. My sister was on her way to the church and her car broke down in North Salt Lake. She normally takes pictures for us outside the church and of everyone who came to the blessing. We were sad that she wasn't able to make it. I am so grateful to Steve for holding and honoring his preisthood. I am so blessed! I am also grateful to the other men in our lives who hold the preisthood and can participate in the blessings; my dad, Steve's dad, our uncles, and brothers-in-law. Thank you everyone! We love you!
