This was a wonderful week! My whole family came to Arizona for Emma's baby blessing. We had such a great time and I am so grateful that they all made the sacrifice and effort to be here. Emma is pictured here with her Uncle Glen (12 years old). Glen was such an excellent help with Emma that I have now decided to have my children 12 years apart. :) Thanks Glen!!
Here Emma is pictured with her Uncle John (17 years old). Emma seemed quite taken with her uncle John and stared and smiled at him for a good 15 minutes. Very cute.
Here is Emma with her Grandpa Krebs. This was the first time they have met. She loved him too and enjoyed just hanging out with him and telling him stories with her "cooing".
Here she is with Uncle Matt. Matt and his wife Corinda are expecting a little girl in June and we are THRILLED that Emma will have a little girl cousin to play with. How lucky is she?!! Matt and Corinda also live in Lexington, KY in a home they recently purchased. Thanks for coming all the way out to Arizona!!
Emma was blessed with her cousin Tyler Krebs (son of Jeff and Aslee) who came down from Provo just so the two cousins could be blessed together. Jeff is just finishing his second year of law school at BYU and has finals approaching. Thanks Jeff for sacrificing your study time to make it an extra special event! Tyler is only 3 weeks younger than Emma and she is so lucky to have a cousin this close in age. We'll see who beats up who at the family reunions.
Here Emma is in her blessing dress. This dress was made by my mother's cousin, Sheri. It is made out of my wedding dress. Sheri surprised us and made an exact replica of my wedding dress for Emma. This is very special to me and I am so grateful for Sheri and her talents that made this blessing dress possible. 
Here is a better picture of the whole dress. I'll have to scan a wedding picture in soon so that you can see both dresses side by side. Sheri seriously did an amazing job.
What a wonderful day for our new family!!

It has been so long since I have seen anybody in your family... Glen is 12?!!! John is 17?!!! HOLY GUACAMOLE!!! The blessing dress is beautiful. What a fun idea, to make the dress out of your wedding dress. I'm not sure if I could part with it! (And so it sits in my storage unit... Hmm...) Congrats on the blessing. As I'm sure you realize already, the time goes by WAY too fast!
what a fun weekend you guys had. i love having family visit and especially for such a special occasion. What a great dress that is! Emma looks absolutely adorable. You both look fabulous. Love the dress. Where did you get it?
No special traditions here. Both kids were blessed in the same blanket and my mother in law made both kids blessing outfits.
Tams! I am so excited for you! Emma's dress is beautiful. I can't believe how much Jon has changed! I didn't even recognize him...CRAZY!! What a fun time! That's awesome that Jeff and Ashley's baby was blessed too! Hi daddy Krebs! Congrats to Matt and Korinda :)
Beautiful, baby! It seems like she is always grinning! Crystal's right about your wedding dress! Wow! Both are so GORGEOUS! I am so happy to see pictures of your family! Yeehaw for digital cameras and blogs! It makes this wide ole world much smaller! I love you!
SERIOUSLY, a replica of your wedding dress?? That has the be the COOLEST most amazing wonderful things I've ever heard. I am speechless. she looks so beautiful and I'm glad the day went so perfectly!
What a special weekend, how fun that you had so much family here. Love Emma's dress.
Emma's dress is awesome and it looks exactly like MY wedding dress. Did I accidentally steal yours when I got married?
I'm glad to hear that Emma's special weekend was made even more special by having so much family there.
By the way, I love the chubbiness of her!
Great Pictures!! What a beautiful dress. You are lucky to have such a great aunt to make a wonderful dress for Emma. Makenzie will be blessed next month - I haven't found a dress yet. Jealous of that dress!
We are SOOOOOO glad that we were able to attend. Anna loved being with all the family and has not stopped talking about seeing baby Emma. It was so great to see all of the Krebs (minus Chuck)! We feel like extended family. We invited ourselves to Christmas at the Krebs. Your mom said we were welcome but we might have to stay at a hotel. (Who told her that I snore?) Loved Emma's dress! It was so beautiful!
What a special story about Emma's blessing dress. She will definitely cherish it when she is older! And what great family to ALL come out for the blessing of your sweet little girl. I so miss having family around!!! By the way - you look amazing (love the cute, summery dress)!
What fun to have everyone together on such a special occasion! Emma's dress is absolutely beautiful. Hope we can see you when you come up for the concert. I am sure there are a ton of people wanting the same pleasure so let us know what will work for you. We could always head to the Pizza Factory again! Everyone has to eat right?
Wow! It looks like you had a great time with all your family and that Emma's blessing was extra special. That dress is beautiful!
We're so glad that you were able to make Emma's blessing day so special with all of your family. Love the dress - such a cool idea!
Your brothers are still hotties! :)
How awesome that so many family members could be there with you on Emma's special day! And I looove her blessing dress. How cool that it's made from your wedding dress? Emma is such a sweet baby. I'm so happy for you guys.
I hung out with mom today for a few hours...raided the pantry, you know, the usual, (Sean taught me well). She showed me these pics...they are SO CUTE!! I love the mini dress. What a hottie! I also love your "flip". Can you come and help me decorate? Seriously, every wall is screaming white! Where did you get the border for Emmas room? So darling. Can't wait to see you!!
This sounds like such a fun weekend. I love her blessing dress. It is beautiful. You look great in these pictures as well. Great outfit choice on your part!
Tammy, Greg and Emma - what a wonderful bunch of pictures - and so cool that Tyler and Emma were able to be blessed together!
Tammy! I love all the pics. I miss my cool cousins! I'm glad everything went smooth and you created great memories. I don't think Emma can get much cuter. She melts my heart. Take care!
