Our baby boy was blessed by his Dad on Sunday, March 1st at our Post Falls building. It was a beautiful and unique blessing that made us feel of Jay's amazing spirit. We know he is strong and we are excited to see him become the boy and man that we felt of today. Here is our handsome boy in the same little white tuxedo that his Grammie Erickson made for Cade to wear, and laying on the gorgeous blanket that Nana Gatten made for him.
We had a lot of family come from out of town making it a fun weekend!! Jay got spoiled...he was never put down! He has A LOT of people who love him and that were there to support him.

During fast and testimony meeting Jon, Brynne, Grandpa Bruce and Uncle Dan all shared their feelings on the strength of families and the love of our Savior. The spirit was thick in the meeting and it was a tearful one. Having these precious children gives us a small glimpse at how much our Heavenly Father loves us. It is an amazing opportunity. 
Thanks for joining our family, Jay. We love you. (p.s. Don't mind Dad's 'stache. ;)

He's getting CHEEKS! I hate that he is getting so big... I just want to HOLD him! So glad you had such an eventful weekend, surrounded by family. I wish we could have been there. Looks like a great day. Jay is just adorable, and I hope everyone knows that I get first dibs on holding him the entire time I'm up there this summer! :)
P.S. Lovin' Jay's "blue steel" Zoolander look in the first pic! Not lovin' Dad's stash. :)

What a cute little guy. Looks like tons of fun with lots of family and little cousins. Ben blessed his little baby Marlee last weekend too. Good family times.
Great picture of you and Jon on the side of your blog.
I just learned how to get on blogs and what not. Can I request that your song on your blog be Utah girls. I can never get enough of that song.
First off, Jon, the stash is pretty impressive...own that..jk. You guys have quite the little lady killers...watch out PF Highschool. Jay is getting so big. What a cutie.

You look great. Jay is getting so big and is so adorable. I'm getting so excited for our little girl. We just found out . We are all so excited. Just what we all wanted.
