Happy Mother's Day

The day began at church where there was a "baby" dedication. Since we were new to the church, we decided to have Jarrett and Jackson dedicated.The pastor introduced us to the church and then prayed over Jarrett and Jackson. Both boys got a "Baby's First Bible" and a certificate that says:

Certificate of Dedication

This is to certify that

Jarrett & Jackson Blattner

We also each got a flower.

Thanks to Kayla for taking pictures for us.

After church we went to my parents house and had lunch with them and my brother and his family. We had a good time. Happy Mother's Day!

Church on Sunday

Church on Sunday was great. Afterward we enjoyed pizza with the pastors. We got to meet each of them and have lunch while chasing the boys. Here we are waiting for the pizza.

The picture is a little blurry but Jackson had his pacifier in backwards.

Kayla and Dakota were there too. Kayla kept encouraging Jarrett to make a silly face.So here they are together making silly faces. I ran out of room on my camera but never fear, I will empty it and have more pictures for you soon!

Nursery pictures

Here it is the following Sunday and we had 3 girls in the nursery. Here is a picture of Madison, Leah and Tori.

Church and a hair cut

Chris and I were in the Church nursery today with 5 boys. Jackson, Zachary, Jarrett, Dominick and Michael. We do have a few girls at church sometimes but not very often. We enjoy our time in the nursery. We sang and played and tried to keep the peace. Before church I was surprised to hear Chris say that he wanted to get his hair cut. Wow. Here is the before picture.
Here is a during picture.
And here is after.
He told them to leave it about an inch long. We were going to have them measure before they cut it but we forgot. For some reason he kept his hair. I don't know why. It is enough to make a wig. What do you think?

What do these 5 things describe?

1. The undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home which is the basis of human society.
2. Higher and higher taxes; the spending of public money for free bread and circuses of the populace.
3. The mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every year more exciting brutal and immoral.
4. The building of great armaments when the real enemy was within-- the decay of individual responsibility.
5. The decay of religion; faith fading into mere form, losing touch with life, losing power to guide the people.

Please put your guess in the comments.

Give up? Highlight here . ---> I got this information from my pastor. He got it from "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" written in 1788 by Edward Gibbon. Interesting isn't it?

Jackson is walking!
