BLESSINGS...

As I was going through my picture folders (on the computer, because I'm a failure at printing them off and putting them in any type of folder what so ever) I was constantly being reminded of how blessed our family is. I already knew it, but seeing pictures of the special people in my life and the things we've done together and places we've been, I truly feel blessed.

And, speaking of blessings, we had a special one last Sunday when we were all there to see Conner bless Nixon. It was such a beautiful blessing.
Conner- we're proud of you!
The boys-giving Nixon some advice right before church.
After church we had a little brunch at the Mortezazedah's home.

Kristy and Tony- Thanks so much for your hospitality, you guys are AWESOME!

Sadly, I don't have a picture of Nixon in his blessing outfit due to a "blow-out". But he did look darling in it. They're going to get some pictures of him in it soon so I'll put them on then.
Pooper, Grandma Margaret & Micci (Conner's Mom)
Ellie helping herself to Statton's plate. I think she made a friend!

On Saturday night, we had our Mansfield Family Reunion at the Scera Park in Orem. It is always fun to see everyone. They were saying that my grandparents, Rulon & Ilene have a posterity of 162. Wow, to think they only started with four children, it amazes me. What a blessing that is!I pray that I don't ever take my blessings for granted. I thank the Lord everyday for all that I have and all that we have as a family. Life is good!
I'M TRULY BLESSED!
