Mya's Blessing Day

It's Blessing Day!!

And as you all can surely tell, Mya is thrilled!

We were able to take Mya back to my home ward, where my dad happens to be the Bishop, to bless her. It was really neat to be surrounded by our family and the ward family I grew up with. Cody gave her a fantastic blessing. Cody was kind of nervous. That morning he warned me it probably wouldn't be very long; I told him that was just fine but to say what the spirit told him to say. My cousin said she looked at him right before he went up and said she thought he was going to throw up! When he came and sat back down next to me he smiled, leaned over to me and whispered..."It was longer than you thought it would be, huh" I had to giggle, It was. He is such a wonderful man! Mya's blessing was very sweet and full of wonderful, loving promises and advice.

We were so very blessed to have so many of our family members as well as friends come and support us. We are so thankful that you all were there to share this special day with us! It was a fantastic day, snow and all!

These two are kindred spirits; they share the same sense of humor and can entertain all of us for hours on end. Aunt Mallory will be missed the next 18 months, good thing we get to keep Mckay!

Mya's Great Grandma Nina Callister, Aunt Sue and Great Grandma Phyllis Hansen

Cody and his cousin Micheal. Micheal was so sweet, he would come up, take Mya's hand and asked how his little cousin was doing. Just to check on her. He was also excited to announce that for his upcoming 26th birthday he is getting a Wii and we know he is going to love it!

Mya and Hadlee

Hadlee walked in and squealed, "Oh, she has such a beautiful wedding dress!"

When I was pregnant, Hadlee would ask me every time she saw me when Mya was going to come out and be able to play with her.

My sweet girlies, I love them so!
