Sunday October 26th Steve blessed Ryder with the help of all of Ryder's uncles, 2 grandpa's and one great grandpa. It was such a sweet blessing. The spirit was so strong and Steve was definitely a well-prepared daddy. We decided to bless him at home and I am so glad we did. Steve conducted a wonderful meeting and truly was guided by the spirit. I was so impressed with him and definitely so proud to be his wife. Grandpa Brian gave the opening prayer, followed by Steve's testimony. I loved watching my husband testify of the things he holds dear to his heart. After the blessing I said a few words and then Papa gave the closing prayer. It was the best day ever. I am so in love with my son!!
All of the boys the blessing.
Granpda Brian, Ryder and Steven.
Auntie Robyn, Cecily, Jake and Max with Ryder.
Uncle Jeff seriously had the magic touch. Ryder stopped crying right when he picked him up!
The yummy desserts. 
All his girl cousins couldn't get enough of him!
The girls put a new saying on the board. I couldn't agree more!

Hi! So I'm really excited I somehow was able to view your blog! Ryder is adorable and I'm so glad I got to see him when we were there visiting. It looks like the blessing was an incredible experience. What a beautiful family!

I love life's momentous events. I am so glad sweet little Ryder has a mommy and daddy who watch out for him and give him the things he really needs in this life. We will be in your neck of the woods around the 12 of December and I want to see this little guy.
So sweet. These are the best days. Look at that amazing dessert spread, labled and everything! Also I'm laughing that in the last photo there is hand sanitizer in the corner. Matthew would be proud!
