On May 2, 2010 Melia was given the name of Melia Carol Montero and a blessing by her Grandpa Hirschi. In the circle was the bishopric, her uncles Jason and Wade and our good friend Ramon. Scott is in Hawaii and so he couldn't make it of course and her great granpda Hirschi suffered a fall just a few days before and also wasn't able to make it but so much wanted to be there. This day was a special day and I'm thankful for everyone who came and shared in it. In the blessing her grandpa blessed her that she would be heatlhy, know that her parents love her and listen to their teachings, that she would make good friends and be a righteous woman and an example. Her grandpa did a beautiful job. She was awake during the blessing and I was so worried that she was going to cry but my dad said she just stared at him wide-eyed the whole time. The dress that Melia wore is the same one that I was blessed in and Jayla as well. My mom didn't keep a lot of things from our childhoold but I'm very glad and thankful that she kept this.

My adorable children who are growing up so fast. Doesn't Jayla look so grown up? It brings a tear to my eye.

Grandpa enjoying the yummy food. My family was awesome with helping out. All I did was make chicken salad and a fruit pizza and everyone brought everything else. It turned out to be a very good day filled with the Spirit, laughter, and enjoyment.

When we got home from church Melia fell asleep and didn't want to wake up. I tried waking her up for some pictures so that's why she looks a little groggy.

This is Great Grandma Gregory who Melia's middle name is after. This woman is one of the most special woman in my life and I wanted to honor her. I hope that Melia will be as strong and good as she is.
