Brooklyn was blessed on June 7th 2009. I was so worried that she would start fussing or passing gas during the middle of the blessing, but she just slept through the whole thing. :) I am so proud of her father, Brandon, for giving such an amazing blessing and testimony. She looked so cute in her little blessing dress. (My Grandma Smith made the blessing dress.) Brandon and I are both so grateful that we have made it to this point, considering Brooklyn's kind of rocky start.
So many people were able to come to Brooklyn's baby blessing. We were planning on having the luncheon outside in our yard, but due to uncooperative weather, aka down pour, we had to fit 60+ people into our apartment!! We set up tables and chairs in the garage, and all over the house. Let's just say that it was more than nice and cozy. :) I felt so bad that everyone was so cramed, but it was so good to see everyone. And I'm glad we all fit somehow.Brandon's brothers and dad with Brooklyn. (Shawn, Brandon, Pat, Nicolas, Keith, & Brooklyn.)
My sisters and I with Brooklyn. (Alyson, Me & Brooklyn, Jenny, and Jessica . . . Dad in background.) They were such a big help with getting everything ready for the blessing.

Me and Brooklyn with my cousin Rusty and Brooklyn's second cousin Baylor. They are approximately 3 months apart. They are both so cute!
Brady Grandkids. (Elise, Baylan, Ava, Jocelyn, and Brooklyn.)
All in all, the blessing and luncheon turned out great. It was very memorable to say the least. We are so happy to have Brooklyn, our little miracle, apart of our family.
