Kathleen's Blessing

We were lucky enough to have most of our family travel to Tooele for Kat's blessing. In fact, everyone but Steven and Lindsay and Mickey and Morgan were able to make it. Amazingly we were able to fit us all into our house, and actually rather comfortably.

Standing in on Kat's blessing circle was: Daddy (who blessed her), Bishop Bird, Grandpa Kunz, Grandpa Ladwig, Uncle Bud, Uncle Joe, Uncle Jason, Uncle Eric, and Uncle Steve.

Landon blessed her that she would grow as she should and be healthy; that she would desire to learn out of good books and see how that knowledge could be incorporated into the gospel; a desire to be baptized, married in the temple, and become a mother in Zion; that she would feel the love of those around her on both sides of the veil.

After the blessing we all gathered at our house for lunch and to celebrate Uncle Jason's birthday. It was a wonderful party with a lot of laughter and love. The adults sat and talked and ate good food and the cousins played together, a lot. We are so grateful to everyone for making the trip to share in this wonderful day with us.

Kat was really not happy about getting her picture taken. Trying to get the perfect Blessing Day picture didn't really work out, but we got some pretty funny pictures of her crying and being really angry at me for not helping her go to sleep.
