Eli's baby blessing

Now that my baby boy is seven months old, maybe I should recap his baby blessing. 
Elijah was blessed by his father on May 5, 2013.  Steve gave him a really sweet blessing from our Heavenly Father.  He was blessed to look to his siblings and parents as an example, to find comfort in them.  He was blessed to have the desire to serve as a missionary and to return to the temple with his future spouse.  He was blessed also to seek knowledge and wisdom.
We had so many wonderful family members here to support us.  If I can accurately recall, the priesthood holders that stood in the circle were: Steve, Grandpa Keith, Grandpa Craig, Grandpa Bill, Uncle KC, and Uncle Dave.  The McCoy's, Chavez's, Schenck's, Lewis', Mullins', Beaumont's, Niesporek, and Aunt Diana all came home to celebrate with us.  We are so blessed to have many loving friends and family!

Thanks mom for the blessing outfit! He sure is a handsome guy!

My handsome men, and Keeley!


This was honestly the best family photo of the day, and we took a few.  With this many kids, it is hard to get a decent picture!

The girl cousins: Keeley, Maile, and Kiana!

Grandpa Craig and Eli pie!
