We hurried and blessed Marriner this past weekend since my Mom is leaving to go back to Idaho this Sunday. We were nervous to take him to church so we just went for Sacrament Meeting and then headed home, no use taking chances with the Swine Flu! The blessing went really well. Jake did an amazing job. I can't ever remember hearing such a beautiful blessing before, and I'm not being biased. He was so nervous but he did great. I know other people thought the blessing was beautiful too because when I got up to bear my testimony right after I saw a few people crying. We came home after Sacrament Meeting and had a big Sunday dinner. It was so nice to have a member of our family here for the blessing.
Our first family picture. Marriner is even kind of smiling.

Cute little argyle socks I found to match his blessing outfit.

How fun and exciting. Don't worry about the swine flu, it seriously isn't as bad as its been piped up to be. My family has all been exposed to it with our little friend getting it. She even held Kaymn. We didn't know it was swine flu until after. A common flu has killed more people then the swine flu has. It's really lame how much publicity it has gotten, and how it has ruined the commoidities market.
oh annie marriner is SOOO cute!! he looks like he is smiling in that picture with jake too! what an adorable baby!
I agree with another comment...while wouldnt WANT my child to get the swine flu by any means...it was just the flu. I'm totally fine :)
You have a GORGEOUS family! So is it decided that he will go by Marriner instead of Dean? You have referred to him by both names in your posts...so I'm just curious! :) What a CUTE outfit! I'm heading to that website right now to look...we have baby dedications and I need a special outfit for Eli!
