Ellie and Monqiue on the Pony ride at Soldier Hollow.
Papa and Lily on the 4th of July!
Classic Jake and Nate getting crazy with the fireworks! So funny!
Clayson's nasty feet. Honestly, I don't think they get much dirtier than these.The other exciting thing that happened this weekend was our darling Lily was blessed. Anton gave her such a beautiful blessing. I was so proud of him. Lily is so lucky to have Anton as her dad. It was a special day - one that I will never forget. Her blessing dress was such a treasure. I had asked my mom if Lily could wear my blessing dress, so she went down and looked in her cedar chest to try and find it, but had no luck. Instead she came across a dress that is a family heirloom which is about 100 years old .... It has been passed down six generations now. It looked so perfect on Lily. The other special thing was to have Lily named after her great grandma Virginia who I am so close with. I am so proud to have Lily named after her. So, Lily's full name is Lillian Virginia Brog. What a day! It was so neat to have our family and friends there to share it with. We have been so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives. And, I am so blessed to have Anton and Lily....they are everything to me. 
The 4 generations. This is my cute Granny Virginia!

I love this picture. It captures Lily and her cute personality.

Okay, really...could Lillian be any more beautiful?? And the dress she was dressed in was perfect. What a treasure. The blessing was beautiful.
And yes, the reunion was super fun...and funny. Jake and Nate...Need I say more?
That is so neat she was able to wear that special dress. My grandma's name was Virginia to! I love passing names along that you really connect with. Your family is so cute and that Lily is so adorable, I can't wait to finally meet her.
It was so great to finally meet Lily. She is just as beautiful in person as in her pictures. Thanks for letting us come to the blessing. We wanted to visit afterwards, but the kids were ready for naps and lunch. It was a wonderful day and a very special blessing.
I'm so sad I missed the blessing but heard it was so beautiful. Lily truly is so adorable!!!!
How neat!!! What a treasure. The dress is beautiful and Lily looked beautiful. What an incredible memory. I've always loved to see a father have that moment with their new little babies. It's an incredible site and very powerful!
What a fun 4th too!
That dress is a great treasure! How great to have such a precious family heirloom. What a neat family you have, not to mention a little nutty too (Jake & Nate with the fireworks) hehehe!
