Jason Peter
born March 19, 2013 at 11:02am
7 lbs 8 oz, 19 inches long
At first mention of Jason’s name some people have said it doesn’t seem to fit the rest of our children’s names as they are all scriptural. Surprise! Jason is a biblical name. Jason was a Thessalonican who gave refuge to Paul, Silas, and Timothy. Jason was arrested when Paul and Silas could not be found by the Jewish authorities. You can read about Jason in Acts 17:5-9. He is also mentioned in Romans 16:21. Jason means healer.
Jason was born on my dad’s birthday. It seemed only fitting to give him Peter as his middle name. This also follows the trend of our other sons who received an ancestor’s name as a middle name.
I must say it is wonderful to have a great husband and older children who can take over so I can just sit and rock the baby and be spoiled by not doing a single thing! I learned after having Cookie {#6} that complete rest for at least a week helps my body recover a lot faster. Taking the time to hold and snuggle and smell my baby, and gaze into his newborn eyes to get just a glimpse at his giant spiritual self, is an experience I don’t want to rush but rather savor to its fullest.
He’s precious! Enjoy that new baby stage!
Bright eyed and beautiful! Congratulations:)
Congratulations! March 19th is my daughter’s birthday. What a wonderful day – the day before spring. 🙂 You look beautiful.
Congratulations! It always makes me feel better when I see that happy, beautiful new baby, knowing that I will make it through this last part of pregnancy! Thanks for sharing, and enjoy the new baby time!
Wonderful! Congratulations!

Oh so sweet, Congratulations!! I just had my 4th boy last sunday and I am having those same feelings of just wanting to hold him all day long. Looking into their sweet eyes is so close to Heaven!
What a doll! Congratulations! And you look great! Enjoy your time soaking in his sweet spirit!
Congratulations. He is precious.
Congratulations! Enjoy that new baby smell 🙂
Both of you are simply beautiful!!! I am glad things are functioning at home and the children are helping you out! Congratulations!! And Welcome little man….junior mint….hmmmm…my favorites 🙂
Congrats! So excited for you guys! Take care! 🙂
In that last picture of just Jason he looks so much like Ganache!
People are always surprised that Tabitha is a Bible name too.
Another one I like is Jemima but my hubby won’t go for it.
I’m glad you have so many helpers and that you can just sit and enjoy your little one. He’s so sweet- and you look great too!
Congratulations! He is so adorable and Junior Mint is such a cute nickname.
On a side note, I was wondering if you had a relative (maybe brother-in-law) that served a mission around 2002 in Riverside, CA. I remember my husband and I drove an Elder to Indio for his transfer (a long drive in a small truck) and he told us he and his family were alfalfa farmers in Northern Nevada. For some reason I just remembered driving him to Indio the other day and then I wondered if he was a relative of yours. If he isn’t, then disregard this message 🙂
Yes, that was probably my brother-in-law! My husband’s brother served in the Riverside Mission at that time. Small world!
I am from Riverside and he served in our ward, the De Anza ward. My father-in-law was Bishop for awhile (Bishop Rivera), but was released around that time so I am not sure if he would remember us or not. He would probably remember being squished in my husband’s truck for almost 2 hours though. My husband thinks it is so funny that I remember that conversation from so long ago about farming in Nevada, but ever since I was a kid I have wanted to live on a farm so stuff like that registers somewhere in my memory. I also remember that we were impressed with him as a missionary.
Congratulations! Having a new baby just before Easter is such a blessing. Thanks to you we are doing the names of Christ and Easter all week. I am grateful for you sharing your talents. Enjoy that sweet little boy.
Congratulations! He’s beautiful!
Congratulations! He’s beautiful!
Congratulations! Such a beautiful name, and a beautiful little boy. My March 19th baby boy turned 25 this year and celebrated his own little girl’s first birthday this month. They grow so fast! Enjoy the time you get with your precious Junior Mint.
Congratulations! What a precious little one to join your family and at such a wonderful time of year, too. What a blessing that you have so many to help you and let you spend time healing and snuggling your Junior Mint.
He’s such a cutie!! I can’t wait to see him soon! <3
Congratulations! He’s adorable and you look so wonderful!
Wonderful that you are both well and content. I was eagerly awaiting pictures and news! Do I get points for knowing that Jason was Biblical??? Ha ha. Classic Rock and Zydeco carry grandfathers’ names, as well. Glad things are smooth at home.
Congratulations, he is precious. Both his name and nickname are sweet. We have given all of our children ancestors names as well. You look great. Enjoy this special time:)
Yay! You look so bright and beautiful. And he’s perfect! It makes me excited to give birth to my little man in a few more weeks. Hugs!
Congrats!!! He’s gorgeous! Now I am desperate to know the names of your other children.
Jason is very cute and you both look great! 🙂 congratulations!
Congratulations! He looks so sweet! Enjoy your cuddling!
Beautiful baby. So glad you are both doing well and are happy. Kiss his sweet little downy head for me. 🙂
Hooray! He is so handsome, and I love the name Junior Mint.
Junior Mint! I love it! Congrats again, and you really do look quite wonderful!

Glad to know all is well.
I see a lot of his dad in his handsome little face…
Congratulations and enjoy your quiet time.
Yeah, I just looked at that first picture again…and Jason looks like a little Joseph in swaddling 😉
He is just beautiful and looks darling wrapped in blue!!! Congratulations! Also, if you don’t mind getting a compliment from someone you’ve never met, you look amazing for just having had a new precious baby! In the photos you are beaming! So happy to hear that you are getting lots of rest, congrats again!
Congratulations! What a handsome little man, and beautiful mamma. I’m so glad everything went well and you’re able to enjoy some restful bonding time.
Big congrats! This is truly a beautiful/crazy time.

That is one beautiful baby boy! Drops of Awesome to you for knowing what is truly important in life, and for teaching your family well so you can rest during this crucial week.

Have you seen the pastel Junior Mints out for Easter? Truly yummy, although not chocolate.
Congratulations! He is adorable!
What. a. sweetie! Please do take at least a week’s rest. I’m sure it will pay dividends! Your blog is a nice inspiration.
So beautiful. I love that picture of you holding him up to your tummy. It never ceases to amaze me how one day then can be on the inside and then bam, they are outside. It is amazing. Enjoy your babymoon with your little jason!
Congratulations! And you are so on the ball to have 1) baby pictures already, and 2) have posted them already. At a few days post-birth, I am still on the “good intentions” phase. What am I saying? I’m still there.
I also gave my boys Bible names, but husband and I couldn’t agree on a name for the girl – so she’s Angel. And yes again to the middle names from ancestors. Good tradition!
Enjoy your baby time!
Congratulations! You look amazing and he is beautiful. Rest up mama!
Congrats, he is beautiful!!! You are such an inspiration to me…I only have 7 and don’t know how to get through the days sometimes then I just come on over and peruse your blog and feel inspired! Your family is just amazing!
Congratulations! He is so beautiful, and you look so refreshed! I never looked that good after having a baby. You definitely look to young for all your children. 😉
so precious! congratulations!
