Josh's Special Day

** Warning - - - super cute picture overload!! **
On Saturday the 9th we got to have Josh sealed to us!
Following the sealing, Nick was able to give Josh a name and a blessing -
It was the Best Day Ever!!
(For those of you not familiar with these terms -In our religion,
we believe that families can be together forever, in this life and the next)

It was such a special day!
We had so many family members and friends support us!
We feel and felt so loved and special!
We could have never done this day without the help of awesome awesome friends and family-cooking food, setting up for lunch, and making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy and relax on our special day -
SHOUT OUT to --- Heidi, Jon, Jeny, Ashley, Devin, Suzanne, and Stephanie
It was also a special that day to think about Jessica.
- Jessica is Josh's Birth-Mom -
Without Jessica's choice, and sacrifice,
we would have never had this amazing experience.
We are so thankful for Jessica, and her decision to let us parent Josh.
We love her, and are so thankful for her.
Thanks again to everyone that made this day so special and memorable for us.
We love having our eternal family!

Such a cute boy. Pictures are darling. Sorry we couldn't make it. I guess the immediate family comes first. We had Tuckers baptism that day. Congratulations to all of you. Someday I'll get to see the little bugger.
