Brandon and Jennifer: Twins Baby Blessings

Brandon was worried about giving two blessings, but he did great. After sacrament we went to Grandma MaryAnn's for soup and rolls with our families and friends.

Angela and Paisley

Ang and Me

Ang & Jake... I took so many pictures of Angela cause they've been living in California and stopped home for a day before moving to Texas and I'm not going to see her again for awhile. :( I was so happy they could make it and be part of the twins special day. It was my first time meeting Jake, which was great too. He'll fit into the fam just fine.

We took the twins home and they were both hungry and tired...

I snapped these pictures of them together before I took their dresses off for their nap.

Grandma MaryAnn bought them their blessing dresses and their cute blessing bracelets. I was so relieved she did that for us, cause I was kinda stressed over the idea of shopping for it, cause it's so hard to go anywhere these days.

Thank you to everyone who helped with the food! All the different soups were so good! :)

My Favorite Ensign Quotes

"I have found that implementing these five patterns-going to a private place to pray, kneeling, praying vocally, expressing gratitude, and praying for others-has helped me to pause and ponder on what I say in my prayers and has made the experience more meaningful. The Book of Mormon teaches other patterns of prayer as well, including being consistent and giving sufficient time to prayer and meditation. The Savior's prayers in the Book of Mormon include all of these five patterns."

-Patterns of Prayer in the Book of Mormon, October Ensign 2012

My thoughts: I want to make my own prayers more meaningful lately. As I read these patterns I could see what my prayers lacked. When I was pregnant it was very uncomfortable to kneel and pray, so I got in the habit of not kneeling. As President Thomas S. Monson stated, "Kneel to pray." I will follow his counsel and kneel to pray. I know praying vocally will help also.
