Blessing Our Baby


This past Sunday, on his 2 month birthday, Oliver Thomas Moote was given a name and a blessing in Grandpa and Nana Moote's ward. It was such an exciting day for our little family, and we were so grateful to have had parents, siblings, and friends there to share in Oliver's special day! 

I feel so blessed to have these two guys in my life!
While Brian was walking up with Oliver to bless him, I heard a little squeal and got nervous, but Oliver did great and quietly "listened" to daddy's voice through the whole thing. While I sat and listened, I had an overwhelming feeling of love and gratitude wash over me for Brian and the way he reveres and honors the priesthood he holds. Together with his earthly and Heavenly Father, Oliver was given a beautiful blessing. Some parts that stood out included:

*A memorable childhood with experiences to help you make good decisions later in life
*Ability and desire to make good decisions
*Willing to act on hope and receive testimony through good choices
*Courage to share testimony when the situation needs it
*Meet good friends who will lift you up and support you in choosing the right
*Find a wife who parallels your values to serve the Lord
*Feel parents love when you have made a bad decision
*Courage to turn to the Atonement
*Be a good example to siblings and family

Here are some photos from Sunday after the blessing. His outfit was a gift from his Nana Moote and Nana Jones. 

We Love Oliver
