Blessing day

March 26th 2017

Things May was blessed with by her father on her blessing day:

An understanding of the gospel and the words of prophets

To find and marry a worthy man in the temple

To have the ability to serve others, and to find happiness in serving others

To find true happiness in this life 

To have a strong and healthy mind and body as she grows 

To have a keen spirit

May did really well for how crazy today was. She was passed around all day long between  Garretts family and mine, and didn't cry or fuss the whole time. She just woke up to eat every 3 hours and gave out smiles to those who worked for them. She seems to do well in he chaos. This morning we did her blessing, and then had all of Garretts extended family over for brunch. After we went to Ethan's baby blessing with the Petersons, and saw Uncle Lane and his family. After we went to Aunt Mindy's house in Orem and ate a big dinner with just about 40 people from my moms side of the family, because grandpa and grandma were in town. By the end May had barfed all over her blessing dress and blew out the diaper all up her back, but she never got fussy. She's an angel baby, and I remembered today what a blessing she is to have. I'm so proud of her and I'm excited to get home tonight to relax and have her all to myself.

May meets Grandma and pa Volmer

March 4th, 2017

Today Grandma and Grandpa stopped by to meet May while they were in town for Grandpas Huntsman Center check ups. They came in and took a tour of our new house, and Grandma held her for a while. She seemed to be better at calming her than I was. May fussed almost the whole time because she was hungry, but grandma got her to settle a few times. I was proud to show grandma the garden I was working on, since she was the one who taught me how to garden,  and grandpa gave me some advice on how to arrange things. I was also proud to show her the partially finished blessing dress that am making for May with the crochet skills she taught me. When I handed May to Grandma, she said: "I had an aunt May. She was my favorite aunt. She was about as tall as she was wide, and had a good sense of humor. She married a tall man and was only about 5'2'' herself so she would look up at him with one eye like this (tilts her head up to the side and looks up with one eye). My brothers used to tease me and say "if you keep eating you'll become Aunt May". Yes she was a funny woman, and I really liked her."
