Easter and a Blessing


Sunday April 12 was a very special day. Not only was it Easter, but we also got to have our baby blessed at Church.

It was amazing to see so much family all together at Church. I had ALL of my nieces and nephew's together in one place from both sides of the family.

My mom and Bonnie and I made Carter's outfit the night before! When I got my wedding dress we ordered extra fabric so we could make a blessing outfit for my first baby. We did just that, and he ended up looking so cute with a little vest and pants and even a TIE that Bonnie and Mom made for him. He had sweet little sailor shoes with a navy blue anchor on them that his Aunties found for him too! It was litterally picture perfect.


Then we went to a park to have a brunch and and Easter egg hunt. It seemed like all of the kids (and the adults) had a great time. The weather was beautiful, we all got a little sun, and the boys got to break a sweat playing some basketball.


We ended up all spending the whole day together and my dad even made an awesome lasagna dinner for everyone that night. We played apples to apples and the boys played some ps3. Overall, I don't think I could have asked for a better day... I could have just hoped for Danny(school in Pennsylvania), Marissa (cruise in Mexico), Megan(school in Hawaii), and Jon(Mission in Virginia) to be there with us to complete the family.

just a lil update



I can't believe our lil man is already 7 weeks old! He is getting so tall and cuter every day! Carter makes such good eye contact and the cutest cooing noises. His smiles will melt anyone's heart. He still makes cute little faces ... usually very serious and expressive.. or a face that looks like he is puckering up or whistling.. my fav!
