Our 4th of July celebration included a celebration of our Sweet Baby James. On the 4th of July we celebrated and officially gave James his name and blessing.
His Name: James Edward Phelps
His Blessing: Beautiful.
I am so thankful for a wonderful husband who holds and honors the Priesthood and was able to give our baby a blessing. It was a wonderful blessing. And I am also thankful for the other wonderful men in our lives that were able to share in the special blessing.
Of course after the blessing we celebrated with food, friends and family.

- James and the Steven Phelps Family (Marcee, Steve and Kiersten)
- James, Mom, Stephanie
James was passed around to everyone! By the end of the day all he wanted to do was be all alone on the floor by himself with no one bothering him. (I tried to get pictures with James and everyone who came, but he wasn’t too happy about that, and some of our family snuck out before we could get pictures. Oh well.)
Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us. It was a beautiful day.
