Blake's Priesthood Ordination

Today Blake was given the priesthood by his Dad.  He was well prepared to receive the priesthood thanks to some amazing leaders, teachers and family.  He is getting so much older so fast.  I can't believe he is a Deacon now and part of the youth program.  I am so proud of him and the choices he is making.  I love this boy!

 He has a great Dad who is such a great example to him.  The girls and I are very lucky to have such good priesthood holders in our home. 

 Grandpa Newbold drove along way to be there just for Blake.  The gospel is so important to him and he is a perfect example of someone who loves the Lord.

Blake was very lucky because he had a lot of support that day.  Lots of his family made the sacrifice to get up early and be there for him even though it was an hour drive or more for everyone.  He will always remember that.

 It was fun to have his cousin Sara there too from Utah. They are not little kids anymore.

 Blake was so happy to have everyone over after for lunch and spend time with everyone.

So proud of Blake and can't wait to see him passing the sacrament next week.
