Such a happy boy!

While we were in California we had the opportunity to bless Jared. We decided to wait until we went to California for Christmas to bless him so we could have family members there. Mark and Jared both did an awesome job and it was a very special experience. Our greatest hope for Jared is that he will have a strong personal desire to learn about the Savior. Of course we want many other things but we really want him to be able to learn the truth of things for himself and gain his own testimony.
Most of my siblings were there and a lot of Mark's family came up from Turlock to be there. We really appreciate the support and love of our families. Mark's dad, and brother David were able to participate and his brother in laws Ben and Kris. My dad also helped out.
After the blessing everyone came over to my parents house and had lunch together. Unfortunately we were so busy trying to get a picture of all the people who came that I did not get one of the three of us alone or of my family. Oh well. We can always take one later. We are so thankful that we have Jared!
