Baby Alexa's Blessing Day

Beautiful baby Alexa was given a name and a blessing by her father on Sunday, September 6, 2009. Those who stood in the circle were her father, Stephen Michael Jackson, her grandfathers, Kim Jackson and Dan Flake, her great grandfather, Denzel Datwyer, and her uncles Kim, Brandon and Sean. We should have gotten Dawson ordained an Elder so he could have participated. He turns 19 in December. Alexa was dressed in the beautiful dress that Danielle and Lindsey were both blessed in. It has been in my Cedar Chest all of these years. She was an angle today.

After attending a nice Fast and Testimony meeting we met at the Jackson home and enjoyed a nice lunch at the park in their backyard. We had sub sandwiches, salads, chips, lemonade, and lots of yummy desserts. It was nice to have my brother, Bryan and his family attend as well as Heather and Jenifer, and my parents on my side and Dan's brother Jon, Lesa and their family, and Morgan Gibson and Justin Griffy, Julie's kids. The Jackson's had a number of friends and family members attend as well. It was a beautiful day in the park. We went back to Jon's later and had a nap and then went up to the Troyer's lot up Payson canyon and had a pot luck dinner with all of the Troyer family and a few other cousins. It is always fun to be with family.
