Baby Blessing

Here's my side of the family eating dinner out at Texas Roadhouse. It was a blast!

We were so excited that my family got to come out for Colson's baby blessing. My mom, dad and brother Brain drove out from Denver, and then my brother Casey drove down from Rexburg. If that wasn't awesome enough, my sister and I came up with a plan to surprise my entire family and have her fly out from California to see everyone. She bought her ticket flew into Salt Lake and her best friend form high school picked her up and brought her to Idaho for us. It was a great surprise and it was fun to be able to be with my siblings. We were just sorry that Will, Hudson and Annie weren't able to come. We miss you guys! And love you!

It was so windy and cold on the day Colson got blessed. It was nuts. As soon as we got home, we all got into comfy clothes, so alas we have no dressy family pictures with Colson. We did snap a few of him before we got him out of his little outfit. I'm not one to bless boys in all white I think they look funny. Shane and I went for the little tweed pants and argyle sweater vest instead!

Since Colson is now over two months old, all the nieces and nephews were allowed to hold him for the first time. They were all very excited.

This is me, my sister Jessica and her best friend from high school Sandi. We're in the main part of the funeral home where we live. We all came to the conclusion that we couldn't paint a mural on the ceiling of a building, unless we were on scaffolding laying on our back. But even then we thought that we would most likely breath in a lot of paint that would fall into our noses. We're just glad that it wasn't us who had to paint the angels on the ceiling.
