I remember over 4 years ago when I was pregnancy with Levi, Justin came to me with a name that he just read and loved. He wanted a really masculine name for our child. I laughed out loud and said no way. Then a few months later we were blessed with a baby boy. For one day we named him Devin...it didn't seem right. Justin, again, was reading and found one of the names that had been on our list. Levi. We finished the birth certificate papers and we never looked back.
3 1/2 years later we had another decision to make. The name for our fourth boy. I knew I wanted the middle name to be Justin. But we couldn't come up or agree on anything for the first name until the name from over 4 years ago came up again and for some reason, this time it just felt right.
And so our boy was born.
We welcomed Rudger Justin into our family.
Rudger was named after an Apostle from our church. Rudger Clawson. The more we learned about him, the more we were grateful for his name. He was brave. He was a faithful leader. He did hard things. These are a few attributes we hope our Rudger will develop.
Then a few weeks after Rudger was born, we went to my hometown's Temple Dedication. There we learned for the first time that Rudger Clawson had a big connection with Brigham City. We were even happier with our decision.
Justin officially gave him his name and blessing. It was a beautiful day.
Justin did a wonderful job.
Thanks to all of our family that came. We had a great time visiting.
(I only wish I took more pictures of everyone)
Rudger was pretty tired by the end of the day.
