kate's blessing

so this post is a week late . . .

weston blessed kate in our ward sacrament meeting last week. he did such a wonderful job. he blessed her with health and strength and the desires to be a good example and to live worthy of temple blessings. he also blessed her to find a worthy mate to take her to the temple to be sealed and he blessed her to be good to her younger siblingS :) (plural . . . my mom was excited about that). i was so proud of him and feel so grateful to have such a GOOD husband who holds the priesthood and honors it as well.

here is a picture of her "gear."

my mom did the fantastic honors and made kate's blessing dress and bonnet. when i saw the picture of the pattern she was going to use, i said, "can you make the bonnet?! we have to have the bonnet!" she looked so adorable.

to take advantage of the "journaling" aspect of blogging, here are the people who came to support us: the coltons: [weston's parents], the jones: [trent, jess, & ali], the hunts: [chad, annie & sophie], the cottles: [my parents], the "original" cottles: [travis, jen, drew, kali, & megan], the "real" cottles: [alex, cynthia, & little alex], the great grandparents: [g & g carson], [g colton], the great aunts & uncles & cousins: [aunt winnie], [terry, lou, katie, sam, mckay, & adam gasser], [sean, lacey, & dustin carson], and a bunch of friends: [cory, danae, & zoey dunn], [rory & ashley taylor], [jeremiah & eva clark], & [mckay stevens].

after the meeting, we went to weston's grandparents' home in pleasant grove for a luncheon. (they were generous and kind enough to let us invade their house to eat!) kate was passed around from relative to relative that afternoon and took a catnap or two in their arms.
