Kahlan Grace Lyle Blessing

Well Kahlan was blessed on April 10, 2011. We waited long enough so that Mom could be home from her mission and be there with us. Zach did an awesome job with the blessing!! But the week prior to the special occasion we had pictures done in the new dresses. My mom got both Kahlan & Sarah new dresses for the occasion and they were both beautiful! Thank you Mom!!  

A picture of the entire dress.

She was more interested in looking at Mom right here...love you Kahlan

 

Loved how she stuck out her tongue...so adorable.

This blanket she is laying on was made by a friend of mine at work. Thank you Kathie it is beautiful and went perfect with the dress and pictures.

Halloween Weekend

Well we had a fun Halloween weekend. Sarah was dressed as a frog and she looked adorable that is for sure. Our ward had a trunk or treat and we went to that and it was amazing how many people were there. We went and visited Grandma Crabtree and a few other people through out the day. I added the slide show below and it has a little bit of everything on there, but it was mostly taken from Halloween weekend.

We also had another exciting thing happen Halloween weekend. Sarah was blessed by her Daddy, and he did such and awesome job. We had many friends and family come and support us and we were so happy to see them and to have them share our happiness. Some of the things that were said in Sarah's blessing were that she would be blessed with strength and courage to stand up for everything that she believes in, knowledge and the wisdom to use that knowledge, blessed with happiness and success in everything that she should choose to do in life, one day she'll find an honorable man to help strengthen her testimony and she'll be able to marry him and go through the temple, that she'll have children, blessed with a sense of humor so she can laugh no matter what, blessed with patience, with forgiveness, and knowledge that she is never alone, that Heavenly Father and Jesus are with her always. Not word for word, but those are some of the things that were said.

I was really nervous and excited all at once. I was nervous for Zach because he doesn't like to be up in front of people and those microphones are just so much fun. But I just kept a prayer in my heart and prayed that he would have the strength and courage to overcome that fear and he was amazing. I know that he had the help of our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful and proud that he was able to bless Sarah and I know that she will one day be able to thank him for such a gift. I am grateful for everyone that came especially those who drove so far. I know that isn't easy and yet they made the effort to be there for us and I am very grateful for them. Well loves to all!
