     we had such a special weekend for our family. yesterday west was sealed to us in the mount timpanogos temple and today he was blessed at our church. our children's sealings have been some of the sweetest, most tender and spiritual experiences of my life. the temple is a powerful place of peace and seeing both my children in white in the sealing room was such a beautiful thing. we are so grateful for west. he is a calm in our home. he is sweet and happy. he was named after my dad and i believe he and my dad knew each other well before west came to this earth and to our family. i know dad was there with us at the temple yesterday. i am so grateful for the sealing power. that it is stronger than time and death and even DNA! west is OURS FOREVER. 
     sean gave west such a great blessing today. west is lucky to have him as his dad and i think west knows that already. :) we love our family and friends and thanks to all of you that came on saturday or this morning (or both!). 
     special days, that i will remember every detail of!
