Last Sunday we blessed Collin and it was such a great day! When we left for church it was raining, so we were prepared to be inside afterwards for the little luncheon. But when the meeting was over, it was beautiful outside, so we were able to stay outdoors and enjoy the weather, instead of being scrunched inside our little apartment. We felt so blessed! Ryan did such an awesome job blessing Collin and I am so grateful he holds the priesthood and is able to bless our little babes. We had the best time with our family and I'm really glad they were all there to share that moment with us, I just wish I would have been better at getting pics of everyone!
On Friday I took the boys over to Red Butte Gardens for Arbor Day, where they were having fun activities for kids. It's nice to live so close and be able walk right over. Noah was pretty excited when I told him it was "tree day", so he brought his toy axe, which he calls his "chomper", because I guess he thought we were going to chomp down trees. They did send everyone home with a free tree, which made them excited. We had a great time walking around all the gardens and seeing the gorgeous flowers, we even saw a little bunny rabbit on the trail.
Last week we had a shower for Kylie and it was so fun to get together. She had a beautiful baby boy who is doing great! We also were able to see Lindsey's adorable new baby boy. It was a blast eating scrumptious food, laughing until our stomachs ached and just enjoying each others' company. Thanks Jen for hosting it at your home!
We've had some fun and also not so fun times lately. The week of Easter we had an egg hunt where we got lots of yummy candy. But then as the weekend hit, so did a yucky virus that made Jax pretty darn sick, which is part of the reason he's not in the pics dying Easter eggs and sifting through his basket; poor little guy. We also had to postpone Collin's blessing for a couple of weeks. Luckily, though, it has said its goodbye and we've been able to enjoy the beautiful weather!
Collin is actually 2 1/2, almost three months now, since I'm a little behind on posts. He is so fun, especially because he recently started smiling all the time. I took him to his checkup and he weighs 16 lbs 5 oz, so the little buddy is definitely not hurting in any way!
