Easter Weekend!

Our Easter festivities began on Friday with dying eggs. We found a great kit where you just roll the paint on with rollers. It was much easier, and much faster. But I did kind of miss the old fashioned vinegar dyes.





Baby M got frustrated with the rollers, so I would just paint his hand and let him hold the egg.




The Easter Bunny was gracious and hid our eggs on Saturday, so we could attend my cousins baby blessing on Sunday. We had a really fun egg hunt in my parents back yard.







After the egg hunt we enjoyed our traditional meal of Eggs-all-a-Goldenrod.



The next day we woke up to more treats from the Easter Bunny.






We then headed to the baby blessing.



We enjoyed the afternoon at a park, in Layton, with family.





Afterwards we enjoyed a peaceful ride home.



Happy Easter!!!

Baby M's Blessing Pics

A Special Day for Baby M!

We had a full house with Grandma's, Grandpa's, Uncles and close friends coming into town for the blessing. I was so happy that so many people were able to make the trip up here to share this special day with us.



The time change left us with a lot of time to get ready, but soon it was time to start dressing our special little man.



I was so grateful to my mom for putting the kilt and hat together for us. She did such an amazing job! Baby M looked adorable dressed in Highland attire.



Craig gave a beautiful blessing. And we all enjoyed a wonderfully moving Sacrament meeting.



Afterwards friends and family gathered at our house for some goodies.









Thank you to everyone who helped make this a special day!

June 7, 2009: The Baby Boy's get Blessed

Today was the boy's big day. They looked so sweet in all there little blessing clothes. Craig and I were able to get their outfits, and my mom bought their socks and shoes. She also made their afghans.

We blessed them in the Relief Society Room at our church since it was Stake Conference this Sunday. I was upset at first that we weren't going to be able to bless them during Sacrament meeting, but I ended up really enjoying the small setting. It was nice to be surrounded by close family and friends.



A lot of people came out to show their support, and I'm grateful to everyone. I loved having all these people, who have been so special to me, be there for this big event.

We had a luncheon at my brother and sister-in-law's house and I'm grateful to them, and to everyone who helped with that.



Our two boys are such special little spirits and I was so happy I could share them with all of you. We got a ton of pictures. As always there's a link to the facebook album. It was wonderful day for our little family. Thank you to all of those who made it so special.

June 06. 2009: A weekend of Fun, Family and Cleaning

Well we've had an eventful weekend-and its not even over yet. Yesterday I helped my sister-in-law clean her house for the luncheon on Sunday, and then my mom and I went shopping for the luncheon. Craig met some of his family, that came up for the blessing, at Trafalga. He took the boys with him because I was still cleaning and shopping. Then today we went to my friends baby girl's blessing. Her son also got baptized and confirmed. It was a neat little experience. I enjoyed it a lot.
After the blessing we traded our twins for one four year old- our adopted nephew- and went to Seven Peaks with Craig's family. It was a lot of fun! I haven't been there for a while, and Craig has never been. I was surprised with our little nephew. He's a brave little boy. He rode the big waterslides with us, and he wanted to ride the even bigger water slides but he's not quite old enough-or tall enough-yet.
After Seven Peaks we traded the four year old back for the twins, and met Craig's family at Olive Garden for dinner- we took showers first of course.



Tomorrow's the twins big day. Yay!
