Bella's Blessing Day

Bella's blessing day was perfect! We got some pictures of her bracelets-from her Grandma Carolyn, her adorable shoes her dad bought for her, and of course the gorgeous dress and headband her Aunt Kirsten had made for her. She looked like the little angel she is. She is really an amazing baby. She sleeps a lot, and through a lot of noise, she eats well, and just has a very happy and contented personality. Miguel and I don't know how we are so lucky, but we know we are really blessed to have her as part of our family.

Her dad even bought her little socks with big ruffles. After the blessing, Miguel sat down and told me they almost dropped her. I was pretty surprised. It's a good thing I didn't know about it until after the fact. The blessing was wonderful and as I was listening, I was impressed with the fact that so many men loved her and were there just because they knew how important and special she was. Then I realized that there were more women there for Bella than men and then I thought about all of the people who loved her but didn't make it to the blessing.
She has so many people in Chile who love her and then I started thinking about how many people in heaven love Bella and I was just astounded. We all have so many people who love and support us and I know it was Heavenly Father's wisdom to bless us with families who love us and support us. I know life would be so much harder without families.





Here's a picture of Bella so you can see her beautiful dress. It was like a miniature wedding dress. She moves her hands in the cutest poses. I know I take a lot of pictures, but I think she is always adorable. Even when I change her diapers, I think about how cute her little body is.









This is the picture of Bella with her aunts and her grandma. Such pretty women! She is so lucky to have so many people who love her so much!




Here's her Aunt Debbi, Uncle Bill, Cody, and Taylor who came to support and love her on her big day!








Her Grandma Carolyn made her this gorgeous pink blanket that we used for her blessing day. She is so sweet and Grandpa Lynn carried Bella around during our Owen family reunion. She is so loved.





Grandma Pat and Grandpa Roger were so excited to be there! She looks so cute with them.






Arvid and Ginny are my adopted grandparents and they have been so sweet and supportive. They were dancing all night at our wedding! We were so happy that they could make it to Bella's blessing. They gave Bella this beautiful blanket.






My cousin Brandon came to the blessing too! It was so fun to have him there. He is so sweet to come and support us!







Here's my roommate from Utah State, Heidi, and her cute family. She is the amazing one who takes the great pictures of my kids! I just love her and her family.







This is our bishop. He is really a great man. We love Bishop Silva. It was really sweet of him to stop by on his busy Sunday afternoon!






These are our friends, the Williams. Curt had a great time playing with the kids and they just loved Bella. They both kept touching her and kissing her. It was really cute.






This is our amazing friend Helena. She is always doing nice things for us. Curt absolutely loves her son Eli. He even includes Eli in our prayers at night.







Our family picture. Curt had to put his vest on because earlier that day he did a Superman move and ripped all of the buttons off the front of his shirt. Again, when you look at him he looks so cute and innocent....




Here's Bella with Grandma and Grandpa Folkersen. She really loves them a lot. I guess it's because they love her so much too. She is awfully spoiled at Grandma's house. I don't think she ever gets put down. There is usually an aunt or two waiting for a turn to hold her.
