Andrew's Baby Blessing

This past weekend our little Andrew was blessed, what a special day for our family.

Proud Opa and Oma
We were so blessed to have some of our close friends and my family there to witness this special occasion.
For those unfamiliar with what a baby blessing is, in our church a man holding the priesthood (in this case Paul) gives the baby (Andrew) a blessing. Which is basically a special prayer to our Heavenly Father to bless Andrew throughout his life with faith, health among other things that will help him become a faithful servant of God throughout his life.

Austin's 2nd Birthday Party

We threw Austin a party a couple weeks after his birthday (March 18) but hey I just had a baby.

My sister and her boyfriend Matt flew in Thursday to help me decorate and play with the babies. I have been cutting and creating for weeks and I think that it turned out pretty good. Our birthday theme was cars! In each gift bag was a derby car that the kids could decorate and then race down our derby ramp

yummp treats

some of our first guests - Dean and Dawson and of course their lovely mom Caprice

Matt and my sister helping Austin decorate his car

time to race!

Austin also got lots of cool presents

Happy Birthday Buddy!
