Dallas' Blessing

One of the most important summer events was when Dallas' was blessed. We blessed him at my family (Clark-Mom's side) reunion in Utah. It was a great day! My cousin Madeline was also blessed so double the fun. She was born a month and half before Dallas.

We had a pretty good turn out--we were only missing my cousin Lindsey and her husband Dan and then my cousin Justin's wife, Tiffany. Toby's family was only missing one of his brothers. It was great to be with so many people that I love! Dallas was blessed in the same outfit that my brother and uncles were blessed in. And Tawna, Toby's sister made him a white blanket. It was neat to have something from both sides of the family. Toby did a great job on the blessing and I'm so thankful that he holds the Priesthood and is willing and able to give blessings. We are so grateful for Dallas and the joys that he is and all the fun and new blessings he brings by being our baby. We love him dearly!

The photos below are not in order--just fun photos from a great day!

Grandpa and Grandma Clark (my grandparents) Dallas was named after his Great Grandpa Dallas Clark.
Kayla, Maezlie, Rachel and Tim. Tim is Toby's brother and everyone said that they should've been twins! They do look quite a lot a like.

Don't you LOVE these?!? They were so fun. They said "Welcome Dallas" and "Welcome Madeline" in pink and blue. Got to love M&M's.

Wait, what do you mean only one family memeber was missing? Dan, me and Tiffany missed it too :( Just teasing you. But I am sad I didn't get to go to the special event.
