Ireland's Blessing Day



We blessed our sweet Ireland on Sunday, May 3rd in our new ward, the Cedar River Ward. Because it was only our 2nd or 3rd time attending our new ward, I think they were a little overwhelmed with the numbers we brought with us. We had a huge circle for Ireland. A few friends, but mainly family. We are blessed to have most of our family close by. Afterwards, because of our huge numbers, Gary and Cheryl, Jake's parents, were gracious enough to lend us their home for a luncheon afterwards. It was so nice to be surrounded by both sides of the family. We are very lucky.
Here is a picture of most all the men that stood in the circle for Ireland.

For posterity sake, I am posting the following picture. If I knew how to photoshop myself skinny, I would. Dang it.

(Notice the frown on Pieper's face?! She was not about to cooperate that day!)

It was a good day.

What a cutie! It was so fun to get to see her the other day, and you as well. It's been too long. We'll have to do it again sometime soon. Have a great holiday weekend and enjoy the sunshine.

She is so cute Sarah! I love seeing the pictures of her (and all of you) so keep them coming. We need to get together and let the girls play.
Our pictures from Eden's blessings look like yours. Jack wasn't about to be happy, so he is either frowning or crying in every picture. Oh well, it captures their personality.

There's no way that's all the guys in the circle. There were at least 85 by MY estimate. I was laughing heartily, well as much as you can in church.

What a beautiful day, Ireland looked just beautiful in her gown!

Congratulations! Also, good luck to Jake with school...in watching my parents, it is very stressful and difficult to be self-employed. Thanks for the chat the other day...I'm feeling much better now both physically and mentally.
